Obama's bizarre and frightening response to the shoot down of MH17
American Thinker ^ | July 18, 2014 | Rick Moran

Posted on 07/18/2014 5:28:42 AM PDT by maggief

President Obama was in Delaware on Thursday when a Malaysian airliner went down near Ukraine's border with Russia. The president was scheduled to give a speech on transportation issues, but began his remarks talking about what, at that time, was thought to be a shoot down of a passenger jet.

Daily Mail:

President Barack Obama provoked fury in the U.S. on Thursday by casually devoting less than a minute to the deaths of 295 people aboard a Malaysian airliner, as he began an often jokey 16-minute speech about the need to expand America’s transportation infrastructure.

There are no confirmed American dead and the White House issued a statement on Thursday evening which said they were still seeking any 'information to determine whether there were any American citizens on board'.

An earlier Reuters report claimed that it was feared that as many as 23 U.S. citizens had perished.

Obama declared in Wilmington, Delaware that 'it looks like it may be a terrible tragedy,' but not before enthusiastically declaring that 'it is wonderful to be back in Delaware.'

Before I begin, obviously the world is watching reports of a downed passenger jet near the Russia-Ukraine border. And it looks like it may be a terrible tragedy. Right now we’re working to determine whether there were American citizens on board. That is our first priority.'

'And I've directed my national security team to stay in close contact with the Ukrainian governemnt. The United States will offer any assistance we can to help determine what happened and why. And as a country, our thoughts and prayers are with all the families and passengers, wherever they call home.

Obama then jarringly quickly returned to his prepared remarks.

'I want to thank Jeremie for that introduction' he said. 'Give Jeremie a big round of applause.'

It translates, I think, to “You people are so freaking stupid it amazes me”.

The only real question for me is wondering if he is doing this to satisfy his Muslim side, His ego or sees it as forwarding Cloward Piven. Granted, all three apply, but I’m sure he favors one.

I fully buy that he is mentally ill with a variety of issues on top of it all, though I’m not sure which takes precedence. The narcissism or the sadism. I am starting to lean sadism because he really seems to enjoy the misery he inflicts on people globally.

Yup. The eyes of the world are not on you, DimBulb, so it’s no big deal, right? Perhaps we should outsource your next overseas flight to Malaysia Airlines instead of Air Force One.

Obama then attended a Democratic National Committee fundraiser at the home of venture capitalist Deven Parekh on the Upper West Side, before heading east to the Fifth Avenue pad of philanthropists and conservationists Amy Goldman and Cary Fowler to address guests invited by the Democratic House Majority PAC.
Like his wife, Fowler is avid horticulturist. He’s the executive director of the Global Crop Diversity Trust that helps run a global seed vault program. The duo also grow heirloom vegetables at their 200-acre farm in Rhinebeck upstate

Wiki:

Sol Goldman

In 1941, he married Lillian Schuman.[3] They had four children: Allan H. Goldman, Diane Goldman Kemper, Amy P. Goldman, and Jane Goldman.[2] Upon his death at the age of 70 in 1987, he owned New York’s largest private real estate portfolio with more than 600 properties valued at $1 billion.[3]

Regardless of whether it’s proper English, it’s still clumsy and poor writing.

I really believe he’s on drugs.

He has become Valarie Jarrett's circus monkey.

But then again, maybe he always was.

Pure sociopath. Every thing this clown, Clown Prince nobama, does is intentional. Many have difficulty accepting the truth of that because of its implications.

But that’s just it. Is he? And by that I mean does he even function at a level high enough to enjoy it for real or is he literally a manchurian candidate that someone just turns on and off?

I would bet the pharmacy that keeps him ‘regulated’ could supply a mental institution. And there are plenty of examples of him looking like he’s coked up one day and thorazined out of his mind the next. Take for example the devates/Day 1 and the famous ‘Possessed” pic.

there were stories making the rounds about him walking around in a fog backstage at various events then like someone flipped a switch, suddenly going into a manic state onstage.

So is he medicated to extremes, nuts, both or is it all psyops?

With this crew anything that would normally be considered ‘ridiculous’ is completely believable.

The problem here — well, one of the many problems — is that Obama is not capable of speaking naturally, without teleprompters and a prepared (by someone else) script. When a leader is first informed of some catastrophe, there may not be enough info to dictate a condign, specific remark about that catastrophe. However, any leader besides Obama would have been able to say something along the lines of, “This is obviously a very serious development, so I am going to wrap this up quickly...” and then spend a couple of minutes on the original topic, but without making jokes or lighthearted remarks.

It was a perfect example of narcissism on display.

Absolutely correct. His personality flaw was fully on display again! He doesn't have an empathetic bone in his body. He is more likely thinking about how he is going to get blamed for this tragedy too, rather than displaying some sort of appropriate emotional connection.

Are you going to take grammar lessons from rarestia? The point is that at least the Daily Mail reported on this and their journalists, unlike ours here in the US, are shocked by the president's extremely bizarre behavior.

You may not like their writing style, but they did say what no one at NTYLATWPCT or any of the other media outlets said. The MSM was not concerned about his statement or the context in which it was stated. They seem unconcerned that our president is acting like a circus monkey putting on a show for all the big donors while the world around him burns to the ground.

But you guys prefer to just criticize the words these journalists use rather than comment on the substance of their article.

Oh don’t get me wrong. I don’t doubt or deny that. At all. I just think there is a lot more to it.

The guy obviously doen not want to be there. He wants to simply speak and have his words manifest themselves like a Star Trek Replicator. Or like God...

But he’s obviously on the lower end of the IQ scale so SOMEONE/S put him there to capitalize on his blackness. And since he is as stupid as he is, and as prone to childish outbursts as his history shows, he has to be closely ‘managed’. Chemically.

The guy is such a creation his hair changes colors to match the speech/situation like a mood ring. So much so that no one even comments on it anymore. And I think the special FX are more than simply external.

Agreed. There's no doubt in my mind that he watches the chaos he causes and sits there, laughing, in sheer delight.
