We will never understand Barack Obama if we see him as a normal person doing bad things.

Barack Obama does not perceive himself as a normal person. He is a narcissist, he believes he is special. He is also a communist hence he believes he is possessed of a special truth.

So when Barack Obama lies about foreign policy or even when Barack Obama simply doesn't bother to take security briefings, it is because he is above them, he is possessed of a truer truth. Why should he waste his time listening to conventional security advisers and generals who are earth bound, who operate under the old paradigm, who possessed neither his special nature or his special knowledge?

In his narcissism Obama believes he has no duty to conventional truth or any duty to convention of any kind and especially not to the Constitution because these things deprive the world of his special gifts. These are impediments to transformation, to as higher plane.

If this armchair psychoanalysis is even remotely accurate, his pathology will deteriorate daily until the end of his term. Those who doubt that should consider how he behaved when repudiated by the voters in 2010, he doubled down! He is not bound to the same considerations as, for example, influenced Bill Clinton under circular circumstances to moderate his positions.

Narcissism is a pathology, not a habit.

Nice to hear your intelligent and insightful ranting again.

Haven't run across you in a while.

.....when repudiated by the voters in 2010, Obama doubled down on activities the voters deplored!....

When voters speak, other politicians moderate their positions. Obama entertains no such constraints.

I do agree he is a textbook narciccist....however, his perspective has been sharpened by his upbringing and the peculiar beliefs rampant in the streets of gangland Chicago, and elsewhere.

It is an article of faith in those minority communities that all US laws, our rules and regs, our traditions, morals and mores were fashioned by evil, white men specifically to subjugate minorities and deprive them of the same opprtunities white Americans were given.

When Oprah shocked us----saying white people must die to eradicate inequality, she underlines that belief. Caribbean singer Harry Belafonte also urged Obama to kill white people.

Ergo, Obama religiously believes he can and should ignore US laws. Unfortunately Obama has the power to do as he believes.

This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it.

Your post about seeing Obama as a normal person doing bad things is brilliant.

Effin’ brilliant.

I wish I had a way to spread your thoughts around. I only have time for Facebook, and that seems to have become worthless for talking about the state of our nation — even among my like-minded friends. Photos of my puppy get a lot of likes, though.

Bump, my friend. Good call.
