Ask Obama a tough question, you’re a birther
Washington Examiner ^ | July 30, 2013 | Timothy P. Carney

Posted on 07/30/2013 9:49:22 AM PDT by opentalk

President Obama in 2010 signed a law requiring large employers to offer health insurance to their employees. Earlier this Summer, President Obama announced his administration wasn’t going to require large employers to offer health insurance to their employees.

Perhaps there is some explanation why it’s okay for Obama to do this. But if you ask Obama for that explanation, he gets pretty pissed at you. Here’s what Obama said when a New York Times reporter asked:

If Congress thinks that what I’ve done is inappropriate or wrong in some fashion, they’re free to make that case. But there’s not an action that I take that you don’t have some folks in Congress who say that I’m usurping my authority. Some of those folks think I usurp my authority by having the gall to win the presidency.

Got that? Question his legal authority to ignore a law, get called a birther. It’s charming. Dave Weigel at Slate points out that Jay Carney also dodged. As Weigel aptly put it, “None of these were answers. They were expressions of contempt.”

Or, perhaps a racist?

“None of these were answers. They were expressions of contempt.”

"The peasants are revolting!"
"You can say that again -- they stink on ice!"

It's funny when Mel Brooks says it. When Obama and his flunkies pull this gag? I'm not laughing.

There are several stages in the life of a narcissist. They start off with self-worship and require large audiences to pump themselves up. As those audiences start to realize how vacuous the person is, they decline and the narcissist goes into a sort of cocoon. I believe this is where Obama is at now. He’s in this insulated cocoon of yes-men.

The next stage is a re-emergence with a demand to be noticed. Obama will use the fawning media to require that people listen to him. They’ll preempt television shows and maybe even large sporting events like the World Series or the Superbowl so that he can address the country or the world. It has to be a BIG audience.

When people groan or otherwise ignore him, that’s when the third and final stage comes about. This is where sociopathy becomes prevalent and violence starts. Obama will use the powers he has to effect revenge on those ignoring him in order to make a point. Think of it as a troubled kid shooting up a school because he wanted to be noticed, but in this case, the man has legions of armed military and law enforcement officers at his disposal.

This is going to get very ugly. His current silence and lack of exposure in the media is VERY troubling to this former psychology student.

That is because anybody with an IQ over room temperature can see that he is not qualified to be a President of this country, and that his credentials to prove eligibility do not exist.

It takes average intelligence to ask a good question.

One other thing.
Obama is NOT black !
The ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF is ARAB-KENYAN. The Arab-Kenyan Barack Hussein Obama II, (a.k.a. Barry Soetoro), ( the one guilty of TREASON ! ) has NO legitimate Social Security Number.
His father was NOT an immigrant to the United States. Barack Obama Sr. was a "Transient Alien" because he did NOT intend on residing in the United States permanently.
Barack Obama Sr. was a dual citizen of Great Britain and Kenya, and NEVER a United States Citizen.His mother could NOT impart U.S. citizen to her son, Barack Obama II, because she did NOT meet the legal requirements to do so,
at the time her son was born IN the Coast Provincial General Hospital, MOMBASA, KENYA at 7:21 pm on August 4, 1961.
Democrats knew this and tried to eliminate the "Natural Born Citizen" requirement at least 8 times BEFORE Obama won his election in 2008.

Obama is NOT a United States Citizen, and is NOT a LEGAL IMMIGRANT.
He has no VISA allowing him into this country.
Barack Hussein Obama II IS ILLEGAL !
He should be IMPEACHED IMMEDIATELY, tried for TREASON, SENTENCED to death, and then have his body deported back to Kenya.

That’s just arrogance. He thinks he’s entitled to break the rules and do whatever he wants while the country is distracted by false stories of racism.

What is most alarming is the vast support system he has that covers for him.

That’s typical of narcissists.

Did you ever notice in high school how bullies had sycophants, you know, followers who cheered the bully and basked in reflected glory?

you can’t usurp your own authority. He is misusing the word.

If he constitutionally didn’t have it in the first place, it is usurpation.
