President Obama Is No Longer Tethered To Reality (was he ever?)
Forbes.com ^ | July 28, 2011 | Peter Ferrara

Posted on 07/29/2011 8:10:29 AM PDT by Tulsa Ramjet

President Barack Obama’s speech to the nation Monday night was highly disturbing. Because read carefully, it reveals a president wildly divorced from the fundamental realities of the nation he is supposed to be leading.

President Obama actually told America on national television that it is a nation “with a system in which the deck seems stacked against middle class Americans in favor of the wealthiest few.” It is incomprehensible how a man serving as president of these United States could make such a fundamentally false assertion about his own country.

Thanks Tulsa Ramjet.

Interesting claim, coming from a rich a-hole, who had everything handed to him.

Its not that Obama has a problem with reality, its the millions of idiot voters who over looked all his flaws and put his sorry ass into office that I have a problem with.

Obama is no more divorced from reality than a lot of people, I guess.

I was listening to NPR yesterday for a bit in the car. They had professors from a college in Iowa and one in NC, reporting that Obama is the soul of reasonableness, having proposed 4 trillion in reductions. You’ll be interested to know that, according to the soothing voices of NPR, it is the Republicans who seem to be irrationally clinging to their campaign promises in the face of the horrible impending reduction in the nation’s credit rating.

It was a really shallow and misleading discussion. But since it was delivered in a calm voice, not a Rush Limbaugh dramatic voice, many otherwise intelligent people will assume they just heard a reasonable news piece.

Add it to an increasingly growing list of false assertions about this country from this president.

I hear you. Obama is sick to his mental and emotional core, seething with a level of rage and hate never before seen in the Oval Office - of that there is no doubt.

However, as a Malignant Narcissist, hooked on the pomp and privilege of AF1 and a fifty million dollar a year lifestyle for which he not only pays not a dime, but is paid, and is racking up massive future earning potential, he will do ANYTHING to win a second term.

Otoh, also as a Malignant Narcissist, he is incapable of seeing any perspective other than his own. Therefore, he sees hatred of the ‘rich’ as an inflaming, passionate, driving force of the masses, and an integral part of his reelection bid. So he will keep flogging that meme with ever weirder urgency as his poll numbers sink and his ‘12 prospects dim. It will be bizarre and creepy to watch.

I don’t doubt any number understand Obama yet publicly express otherwise. First, they don’t want to set themselves up for ridicule from the MSM/Democrats. Second, they are trying to be ‘reasonable’. After all, it’s a debate, right?

But there are many more (I believe) who continue to give Obama the benefit of doubt regarding his allegiance to America. Whether out of ignorance, stupidity, disbelief in the possibility otherwise, or what I don’t know. However, many of them side with Obama.

He's tethered to Soros, Trumpka, Alinsky, Ayers, Marx, Stalin, etc!

I'd add that Marxist redistribution is a core religious belief for Obama. I think he'd forgo re-election before he'd give up his Freudian need to punish the rich.

I think he already knows he can't be re-elected without major shenanigans. His objective seems to be to cause the most damage he can in the time ha has left.

No, and neither are the millions of clowns who elected him, either.

Great points.

As much as I'd love a truly great leader like Reagan, I'd settle for someone who is just reasonable, well-informed on economics and foreign policy, and mentally healthy.

Gore...Edwards.. Clinton...Pelosi...Reid... Obama?!!? Amazing the head cases people vote for.

“Simply put, a ’passion of the soul’ is a mental state (or thought) that arises as a direct result of brain activity. Such passions can move us to action. Since this is so, Descartes suggests that one needs to learn to control one’s passions, for they can move one to perform vicious acts.”

Obama’s passion is a nation’s torment. Humpty Dumpty is teetering..and we shall see after 2012 if it can be put back together.

That's a very interesting idea. And it fits with his college sophomore Marxism.

Revolution! Then by some magic a better society will supposedly emerge from the rubble.

“Gore...Edwards.. Clinton...Pelosi...Reid... Obama?!!? Amazing the head cases people vote for.”

Isn’t it the truth! We have public school and the MSM to blame for the madness that happens in the ballot box. A sane, rational president would be nice, but what is crucial to our survival is one that can neuter, Reagan-style, the MSM, and who finally addresses the rot, corruption and far left moonbattery of our public ed system.

I think Obama and his handlers are actually playing a bad hand rather well.

Oh! I see!

You thought they were trying to make things better, to solve problems! I can see why you're confused, then.

I don’t think his gut is in for it. I think he would rather be an internationalist,..globe-trotting,..writing self-serving gruel,...making money in a captitalist fashion then deriding the very blanket of dollars he sleeps under...wait,..was that from “A few Good Man”?:

Boehner: DID YOU ORDER THE CODE RED (debt ceiling increase)????
Obama: YOU GD RIGHT I DID!!!

A third possibility is that he is a Muslim using communism and socialism to destroy our foundations so we will be easily conquered in the coming jihad. A fourth possiblility is seeming more possible... he is the devil himself.

No way, the Agents working in the Matrix have far more class and on occasion, civility, than The Won ever had.

And theyre very honest and up front about wanting to kill you (unlike Obama who lies about it).
