Obama, the uninterested president
Washington Post ^ | 05/14/2013 | Dana Milbank

Posted on 05/15/2013 4:05:25 AM PDT by Lacey

President Passerby needs urgently to become a participant in his presidency.

Late Monday came the breathtaking news of a full-frontal assault on the First Amendment by his administration: word that the Justice Department had gone on a fishing expedition through months of phone records of Associated Press reporters.

And yet President Obama reacted much as he did to the equally astonishing revelation on Friday that the IRS had targeted conservative groups based on their ideology: He responded as though he were just some bloke on a bar stool, getting his information from the evening news.

I think President Obama is a semi-intelligent stooge, well-trained to speak in soothing tones, but indoctrinated in the Marxism of his mom, dad, and Maternal Grandparents. He “doesn’t know” what’s going on in his administration, mainly because HE DOESN’T KNOW....albeit because of his indoctrination and worldview, he lustily approves of it. It’s just that “plausible deniability” is about to reach a whole new level in the coming months.

But the WaPo believes him nevertheless. Still, the fact that they now have to trot out the "He's not evil, just ignorant." excuse for their favorite marxist shows how low they will stoop to defend the Soros agenda.

All true, and all true of ALL Liberals.

They are buried in the BS Liberal babble of the 60’s. They did not progress on iota.

It's unfortunate, but Conservatives have been running against the Liberal 60’s mentality SINCE the 60’s.

Of course, it doesn't help when the current Liberal President is a chronically and habitually lazy charicature of a politician and a sloppy thinking, shallow, selfish and superficial poseur having the time of his life merely 'photo op'ing' his way through life.

What’s new? Why are people surprised? How many times did this person vote “present” while serving as state-senator? (He was hardly present at all in US Senate, was he?)

Hmmm....WaPo, interesting....

“President Passerby needs urgently to become a participant in his presidency.”

No he doesn’t. He needs to go!

Mark for possible Live Thread. I’ll be curious if Carney slithers out again today. Nothing yet showing on the WH website.

Go to “File” - “Print Preview” to read the column:

Proliferating scandals expose truth about Obama -

May 15, 2013 -

Dogged by scandal, and with his press secretary presumably now curled up in the fetal position and breathing into a brown paper bag, it’s obvious President Barack Obama is in need.

There is a certain amount of satisfaction in seeing these shameless lapdogs and shills such as Milbank finally rising to protest when Obama’s reckless and unprincipled nature rattles the comfortable little world of the lapdog media.

It is getting to the point where Carney and Obama will be using more standardized excuses:

We were unaware there even was a Benghazi, Libya.

We were unaware there even is an IRS.

We were unware there even is an AP. What is an AP anyway?

We were unaware there even is an EPA.

It wasn’t so long ago that the press lauded Obama for his ability to “soar above it all” like some supernatural being.

Nothing has changed, nothing. Something has caused the DBM to take off their rose colored glasses.

Was it the Jonathan Karl piece on Benghazi? Was it just the raft of new scandals all emerging at once? Was the DBM willfully blind until Obama was safely elected?

Whatever happened, I hope it continues and that we see more of it.

We’re never going to get rid of Obama, but we can hope that he is the lamest of lame ducks for the remainder of his term.

I think this is today’s set of talking points coming from the Wh: All 3 “scandals” are stunning and what happened was horribly wrong. The buck stops with Obama. But he is oblivious, passive, isolated, ie. HE KNEW NOTHING.

The key to understanding Obamaspeak is to understand that Obama is self-delusional.

Obama truly believes that reality can be created just by him saying so.

I call these statements Obamalies.

Hence, when Obama wants something to be true, all he has to do is say the words and reality will be created around them.

In this manner Obama is capable of protecting himself from REALITY that you and I recognize, but is unrecognizable to Obama.

Monday at his presser, Obama shed a rare tear as he momentarily recognized that his reality was not our REALITY.

US President Valerie Jarrett makes sure that Obama always reads from her scripted teleprompter, or sticks to her scripted talking points.

Thus, minimizing Obama’s self-delusional, private outbursts of the warped reality that only Obama knows - - - .

_________

In the failed world of Communism, all functions of a Society are controlled by a Central Government.

Our Central Federal Government has been easily taken over by Obama to the gleeful cheers of MSNBC and others in the Liberal Agenda Media.

This is as good a time as any to take note of those who have willingly enabled the blatant Communist ideas and programs of Obama to take hold in our Central Federal Government.

It is also a good time to take note of the many dictatorial powers that our sorry US Congress has granted over many decades to the Administration Branch and related Bureaus of our Central Federal Government.

Just to balance our income with our spending, the Central Federal Government must reduce spending by 40 percent.

The longer we wait to “cut our way to prosperity” and repeal and abolish Federal Regulations, the greater our financial debt and less Liberty we will have.

For example, if Central Federal Government Regulations were reduced by 40 percent, our Society would be 40 percent further removed from control by the Central Federal Government.

Currently, there are 3 major Impeachable Scandals that our sorry RINOs could use to remove Obama from our Central, semi-Communist, Federal Government.

My question is: “Do our sorry Congressional RINOs have the POLITICAL MOTIVATION to Impeach and Remove B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, a legal citizen of Indonesia?”

______________

Obama always exposes his fear by accusing others of what he is doing to them.

Obama knows that that which will undo him is what he should fear the most.

As a smokescreen defense he accuses others of what he is doing, and hopes to put them on defense so that he can continue doing to them what he fears that they will do to him.

For example, we should politicize, demonstrate strong political motivation, speak and behave in the most un-PC manner, bicker, argue, unseal his flunking University grades, place all his staff under oath, place Obama under oath and IMEACH and REMOVE Obama and his Commie pals.

The responsibility of an opposition party is to provide a check and a balance on the other political party.

Hence, it is time for Republicans to shed their sorry RINO skins and have a good old-fashioned, rip-roaring, verbal thrashing of the tyrannical Obamanation.

I daresay the Press, like a battered wife, will return home after the requisite cooling-off period and the flowers and chocolate have been delivered.

Some of them might refuse the flowers and chocolates this time. Even the lowest life forms have a survival instinct, and I think some in the lapdog media will realize that they have to change their Obama coverage to hold onto any remaining shred of credibility the might have left.

And then some others won’t.
