Rush off to a great start...hitting it on Dear Leader’s racism towards the Tea Party and Holder ‘not prosecuting’ his people.

I am waiting for info to come (for HS aged son) from Duquesne. Will use their postage to send my Catholic displeasure back.

130 percent of AfAm voted for Duh Won. Oh, Media Matters must be melting down.

“Rush off to a great start...hitting it on Dear Leader’s racism towards the Tea Party and Holder ‘not prosecuting’ his people.” ~ PennsylvaniaMom

Yes, he said Obama is a coward according to Holder’s own definition. Rush also mentions the fact that Obama has a chip on his shoulder and it is reflected in every one of his speeches and policy decisions.

These facts prove that Obama is a “Passive Agressive”

Doubt it?

Who does this remind you of?:

Passive–aggressive behavior, a personality trait, is passive, sometimes obstructionist resistance to following through with expectations in interpersonal or occupational situations. It is a personality trait marked by a pervasive pattern of negative attitudes and passive, usually disavowed resistance in interpersonal or occupational situations.

It can manifest itself as learned helplessness, procrastination, stubbornness, resentment, sullenness, or deliberate/repeated failure to accomplish requested tasks for which one is (often explicitly) responsible.

Signs and symptoms
The book Living with the Passive–Aggressive Man lists 11 responses that may help identify passive–aggressive behavior:[1]
Ambiguity or speaking cryptically: a means of creating a feeling of insecurity in others.
Chronically being late and forgetting things: another way to exert control or to punish.
Fear of competition
Fear of dependency
Fear of intimacy as a means to act out anger: The passive–aggressive often cannot trust. Because of this, they guard themselves against becoming intimately attached to someone.
Making chaotic situations
Making excuses for non-performance in work teams
Obstructionism
Procrastination
Sulking
Victimization response: instead of recognizing one’s own weaknesses, tendency to blame others for own failures.

A passive–aggressive person may not display all of these behaviors, and may have other non-passive–aggressive traits.

Diagnostic criteria (DSM-IV Appendix B) and personality disorder

Passive–aggressive personality disorder was listed as an Axis II personality disorder in the DSM-III-R, but was moved in the DSM-IV to Appendix B (”Criteria Sets and Axes Provided for Further Study”) because of controversy and the need for further research on how to also categorize the behaviors in a future edition. As an alternative, the diagnosis personality disorder not otherwise specified may be used instead.

The DSM-IV Appendix B definition is as follows:[2]
A pervasive pattern of negativistic attitudes and passive resistance to demands for adequate performance, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicted by four (or more) of the following:
passively resists fulfilling routine social and occupational tasks
complains of being misunderstood and unappreciated by others
is sullen and argumentative
unreasonably criticizes and scorns authority
expresses envy and resentment toward those apparently more fortunate
voices exaggerated and persistent complaints of personal misfortune
alternates between hostile defiance and contrition
Does not occur exclusively during major depressive episodes and is not better accounted for by dysthymic disorder.

Diagnostic criteria (ICD-10)

The World Health Organization’s ICD-10 lists passive–aggressive personality disorder under (F60.8) Other specific personality disorders.

...true passive–aggressive behavior... is the manifestation of emotions that have been repressed based on a self-imposed need for acceptance.
