Obama going off the deep end
By Floyd and Mary Beth Brown
Commentary
________________________ _____________
A recent analysis by Roger Simon of PJTV Media maintains that Obama is showing signs of mental illness. A wide variety of commentators have observed that Obama displays severe narcissism. Obama is conceited, and he is demonstrating a serious disassociation from reality.
A recent case in point was Obama's bizarre and meandering 17-minute, 2,500-word answer to the simple question about how he could justify raising taxes for ObamaCare during a recession when citizens are already overtaxed. Obama's wildly inappropriate answer left the audience stunned and led commentator Charles Krauthammer to mockingly say, "I don't know why you are so surprised. It’s only nine times the length of the Gettysburg address, and after all Lincoln was answering an easier question, the higher purpose of the union and the soldiers who fell in battle."
This lapse of delusion occurred in front of a friendly audience. Overall, Barack Obama seems to be slipping into a slightly more delusional state these days.
On Monday, following his embarrassing answer on Saturday, Obama stopped by the Washington Nationals home opener to loft an effeminate toss toward home plate constituting the ceremonial first pitch. After this display, Obama was mucking it up in the press booth talking about his love of the Chicago White Sox. The announcers asked Obama which players he supported growing up a White Sox fan. After hemming and hawing for about 30 seconds, Obama responded that he grew up in Hawaii and was actually an A's fan. Again, he avoided mentioning any players by name. Obama seems to believe that he can say whatever he wants, and not reap the consequences or be forced to defend his empty assertions. Obama behaves in a manner so disconnected from reality that he is shocked when someone has the audacity to question him. Obama acts like his word is infallible.
In March of last year Obama was on “60 Minutes” with Steve Kroft. Throughout the interview as Kroft questioned about the economic downturn and people losing their life savings, Obama just kept laughing. A one point CBS’s Kroft stopped him and asked, “Are you punch drunk?" How will the American people react to seeing their president laugh off their predicament? Obama’s inappropriate laughter clearly demonstrated he has lost touch with the pain that people are feeling.
Obama portrays himself as the larger-than-life figure towering above the political fray. At the summit when Obama was pushing his health care package through Congress, he attempted to act as if he were the chief arbiter of truth. With petty insults, he slapped down what the Republicans proposed and audaciously claimed his was a “bipartisan bill.” Obama distorts the truth with such frequency that one must start to question if Obama even realizes he is lying or is so disassociated from the truth that he believes what he says.
A further example of Obama’s delusions of grandeur occurred when he gave himself a “good solid B plus.” Believing that his presidency was an above average success when America is hurting is absurd. Obama went so far as to claim that he would give himself an “A” once health care was passed. Obama is not living in the same reality as the rest of us.
As Charles Krauthammer wrote, “Not that Obama considers himself divine. (He sees himself as merely messianic, or, at worst, apostolic.) But he does position himself as hovering above mere mortals, mere country, to gaze benignly upon the darkling plain beneath him where ignorant armies clash by night, blind to the common humanity that only he can see."
Obama sees himself as the greatest man to be president in all time. He truly believes it when he said "we are the ones we have been waiting for," and "this is the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and the planet began to heal." He believes that he can do anything he pleases and the people will love him for it. Obama plans to radically transform this country and go down in history as, in his mind, the greatest ever. Obama is clearly disconnected from reality.
Obama is, according to Newt Gingrich, “potentially the most dangerous (president), because he so completely misunderstands reality.” Gingrich was referring to Obama’s inept and weak stance on missile defense amongst other things. Even Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said that Obama is an amateur; so much for wowing the world. Obama lives in an alternate universe where he treats our friends poorly and expects our enemies to change and become our friends. Here’s hoping that the voters help to connect this president back to reality in November.

Sorry he hasnt gone off the deep end.This is what and who he is.This is a man that wrote two autobiographies when he hadnt done a fucking thing in his life.Yes,he is an ego maniac,but what most miss is his HATRED for this country and what it stands for.Frankly his ego is not something I worry about,I worry much more about his purposefull destruction of the country.
-
I actually thought this was a pretty well crafted article with many examples that the Obamabots refuse to acknowledge.
-
I think he may be on anti-depressives (happy pills). I saw the "punch drunk" interview and could'nt believe how he laughed through the questions. The way he is behaving is a classic example of someone high on happy pills.

Maybe he was just born with happy pills flowing in his veins? I know Arnold was. The way Arnold acted in Pumping Iron reminded me of someone on "happy pills" - the carefree laughter during stressful situations. Happy pills will give you that!!

The dcotors report did say he needs to cut the alcohol intake.

What would the analysis and doc reports about YOU say?
Hell you are already the biggest nut on the board.

Care to ever comment on the point of the article instead of trolling me like an obesessed teen after the HS quarterback?
-
The point of the article shows nothing but the failing hypocrisy of the constant Obama haters trying to latch onto to ANYTHING to whine about.
When your article has the phrase "according to Newt Gingrich"... well that pretty much says it all since he attempts to do nothing but polarize topics for his own benefit.
But given this so called "analysis" of Obama, one can only wonder what the outcome of the same "analysis" of the GOP party leaders would be. You know... Palin, Steele, Rush, etc....
Try again.

I think the title of this thread could be said for the starter of this thread...

WHAT THEY WOULD SAY ABOUT RUSH IS "THE MOST LISTENED TO TALK SHOW HOST IN THE COUNTRY AND THE MOST SUCCESSFUL POLITICAL COMMENTATOR OF ALL TIME WITH AN AUDIANCE OF 20 MILLION!A man that has predicted EVERYTHING Obama would do to the letter and is right about 99% of the time on every issue.A man that truly does have talent on loan from God.

Very true. He and Thomas Sowell were one of the few conservatives who confidently predicted beyond a shadow of a doubt that he would do these things. Dont get me wrong, I said that if he believed half the things he says and did half the things he said he would do that he would be a disaster, but I felt there was a chance he would be more moderate since I thought that he must want to be a successful president. How wrong I was.
-

I would never believe anything talking heads said about any sort of analysis of their opposition. Whether it was Bush, Obama, or Kermit the Frog.

One can't exhibit hypocritical hatred and daily contradictions at the rate he does without having some kind of mental illness.

Obama administration: Intent on destroying the U.S. economy, Republic
How to Destroy the U.S. Economy: Regulate Carbon Dioxide
By Alan Caruba Monday, December 7, 2009
www.canadafreepress.com
________________________ ________________________ _
In the course of the first year of the Obama administration, it has become clear to many close observers that it is intent on destroying the U.S. economy and, with it, the Republic.
It has virtually shut down all exploration for energy resources such as oil and natural gas despite the bonus of thousands of jobs and billions in tax revenue that this would generate.
It has declared war on the mining and use of coal even though coal provides just over half of all the electricity generated nationwide.
Its “Stimulus” bill, at this point, has largely distributed funds to state governments to help them pay for Medicare and other entitlement programs. The program has claimed new jobs in congressional districts that don’t even exist.
All the while unemployment has risen and there is no evidence of any actual new jobs because, sensibly, large businesses and small are waiting to see if Obamacare will take over one-sixth of the nation’s economy, slashing billions from Medicare, and raising the cost of health insurance. The other major legislative initiative, Cap-and-Trade is a huge tax on energy use, raising the cost of doing business in America.
“Business Fumes Over Dioxide Rule” was a headline in the December 7 edition of The Wall Street Journal. Considering that one major corporation after another has gone out of its way to demonstrate how “Green” they are, it is a little late in the day for corporate America to wake up to discover that the entire agenda of Green organizations has been to strangle the economy in general and their ability to operate in particular.
Two Obama appointments signaled the Obama administration’s intent. One was the appointment of Carol Browner, a former EPA director in the Clinton years and an avowed socialist, as its climate czar, and the appointment of Lisa Jackson as the new Director of the Environmental Protection Agency. Others include the Secretary of the Interior and of Energy, all global warming scare mongers.
The EPA is momentarily expected to announce an “endangerment” finding that carbon dioxide (CO2) is a “pollutant” and thereby subject to EPA regulation under the Clean Air Act. If that is true than everyone exhaling in the nation is, by definition, a polluter. Humans exhale about six pounds of CO2 every day.
In January, I wrote a commentary, “Glorious Carbon Dioxide”, that was a look at the science of CO2. It can be found here.
One simple fact invalidates the EPA’s claim. All life on Earth is dependent on two gases, oxygen and carbon dioxide. A reduction of CO2 would be a reduction of the gas that all vegetation relies upon for its existence, but the EPA claims that a rise in CO2 is responsible for a rise in the overall temperature of the Earth.
The EPA is doing this as a completely natural cooling cycle has been occurring since 1998. It is doing this despite ample scientific data that demonstrates that CO2 does not play any role in the increase of the Earth’s average temperature, but in fact increases many decades, even centuries, after such an increase.
It is the Sun that determines the climate of the Earth, not CO2, and the Sun is in a natural cycle called a solar minimum, producing less radiation to warm the Earth.
At times in the Earth’s 4.5 billion year history, the amount of CO2 has been much higher than its present concentration of a mere 3.618% of the atmosphere. Estimates of how much man-made CO2 contributes to this tiny amount are set at 0.117%.
Despite this, the EPA is intent on regulating man-made CO2 emissions as if this would make any difference in light of the fact that many other nations also emit CO2 in the process of developing their economies. China and India come to mind and it is no accident that both were exempted from the UN Kyoto Protocols to limit CO2 emissions.
The entire purpose of the current Climate Change Conference taking place is Copenhagen is a treaty to limit CO2 emissions that the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change asserts is necessary to avoid a “global warming” that is NOT happening.
The conference, however, must ignore revelations that one of its primary providers of climate data, the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia, has been deliberately fudging the data, falsifying it to justify the treaty. Another major source of such data has been NASA’s climate program, both of which have fought efforts under the Freedom of Information Acts of both the UK and the USA, to require them to make their data available for scientific peer review.
As the Wall Street Journal article points out, “An ‘endangerment’ finding by the Environmental Protection Agency could pave the way for the government to require businesses that emit carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases to make costly changes in machinery to reduce emissions—even if Congress doesn’t pass pending climate-change legislation.”
If either the EPA or the climate change legislation called Cap-and-Trade are put in place or enacted, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is on record warning that it would “choke off growth by adding new mandates to virtually every major construction and renovation project.” It would add to the cost of all electricity by industry, business, and all consumers.
As the Wall Street Journal article notes, “Electricity generation, transportation and industry represent the three largest sources of U.S. greenhouse-gas emission.” What it doesn’t say is that such emissions play no role in climate change.
Other nations, however, would not be subject to such costs and the result would be a mad rush to move as many U.S. industries as possible to foreign shores. Other businesses would have to shut down or raise the price of everything they produce.
The current Recession would escalate into a full-blown Depression as millions of jobs would disappear or never return.
If that isn’t a plan to destroy the economy of the nation, I don’t know what is.

I'm pretty sure the government has already set up concentration camps ... ;D

They dont need to set them up, we have the IRS code as well as a plethora of other regs that all together keep you for all practical purposes controlled from the minute you wake up till you go to sleep. .

there were a lot of ppl who believed bush suffered from some mental illness. it's not impossible for a prez to face this - it's the most stressful job on earth. highly educated ppl are more likely to go crazy as well, statistically, I believe. Who knows. Politically, you'd have to hide that. And presidents always hide illnesses. So maybe obama is losing his marbles, what can ya do?

Ever considered that the "idiots" (your word, not mine) who put Obama in place already know what's coming and have set their sails accordingly?
If someone is financially literate, it won't matter what is going on in the economy, they will always find a way to make money & increase their wealth. The rich will continue to get richer and the poor & middle class will be wiped out. Knowing this... many choose to join the ranks of the rich.
What are you going to do? Are you going to join the ranks of the rich, ...or are you going to continue to rant & rave and seethe with hatred? Seriously 333, you're like a man watching doplar radar, who sees a rainstorm coming, ...but rather than put on a raincoat, galoshes and grabbing an umbrella, ...you stand there screaming about the coming storm, and get even more upset when your best leather jacket gets ruined. You have no excuses.

3333, people have called me insane for how much I post on this forum. Since the election your daily post count is 4 to 5 times higher than anyone here.... maybe someone without anything to do could blog about the insanity of that and post it here. If i'm nuts for how much I pot here, you must be totally gone lol...

I have a lot of problems with Obama and have already posted on thoses when the topics have come up. I do not think he's mentally ill ::)

I'm not kidding Hugo - no one else seems to be able to answer this question, not the professional pundits, the members of his own party, his supporters, etc etc.
And this has nothing to do with me, attack me all you want, WHATEVER.
I'm trying to get an answer from someone who voted for him what they think can be attributed to what can only be labled as utterly bizarre behavior the lat year or so.

Does Obama meets five of these symptoms to be diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder?
psychcentral.com ^ | Sunday September 26, 2010
________________________ ________________________ __-
Which five or more describes Obama to a "T"?
Narcissistic Personality Disorder is characterized by a long-standing pattern of grandiosity (either in fantasy or actual behavior), an overwhelming need for admiration, and usually a complete lack of empathy toward others. People with this disorder often believe they are of primary importance in everybody's life or to anyone they meet.
In order for a person to be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) they must meet five or more of the following symptoms:

Inflated self-esteem can be decidedly counterproductive.
American students, for example, took first place in self-judged mathematical ability in a comparative study of eight countries, but last place in actual mathematical competency.
Korean students, in contrast, ranked themselves last in self-judged mathematical skills and took first place in actual mathematical performance.
The idea that self-esteem produces better performance, reversing the direction of better performance boosting self-esteem, is clearly a concept that's been oversold. But we feel good -- whether it's self-evaluations of leadership skills, looks, personality or math ability, it's not unusual for 25 percent of American students to self-judge themselves to be in the top 1 percent.
The downside can be a declining nation that's overstocked with egotistical and incompetent narcissists.
That might be the problem at the White House.
U.S. Rep. Marion Berry, D-Ark., made public President Obama's answer to conservative Democrats, worried about the unpopularity of ObamaCare in their districts, when they asked in a White House meeting why 2010 might resemble the negative backlash that greeted Bill Clinton's flawed 1994 attempt at health care reform: "Well, the big difference here and in '94 was you've got me." That's what Sonny said to Cher, 1965.
The actual "big difference" turned out to be Obama losing even more seats than Clinton. "The Democratic Party under Barack Obama in 2010 suffered the greatest defeat for a newly elected president in a midterm since the Republican Party under Warren Gamaliel Harding in 1922," reports James W. Ceaser, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and professor of politics at the University of Virginia.
Patrick Gaspard, former community organizer, ex-lobbyist for the Service Employees International Union and now director of Obama's Office of Political Affairs, is quoted in a 2008 New Yorker article describing what Obama said to him during his job interview: "I think that I'm a better speechwriter than my speechwriters. I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I'll tell you right now that I'm gonna think I'm a better political director than my political director."
In his biography of Obama, "The Bridge," David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker, quotes White House senior adviser and longtime Obama friend Valerie Jarrett: "I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary. He knows exactly how smart he is. ... He knows how perceptive he is. He knows what a good reader of people he is. And he knows that he has the ability -- the extraordinary, uncanny ability -- to take a thousand different perspectives, digest them and make sense out of them, and I think that he has never really been challenged intellectually. ... So what I sensed in him was not just a restless spirit but somebody with such extraordinary talents that had to be really taxed in order for him to be happy. ... He's been bored to death his whole life. He's just too talented to do what ordinary people do."
Talk about a "yes man" -- or a devotee woman. The boss is so "extraordinary," so above the "ordinary" man, that he's been long-term bored to death -- untaxed, unhappy, uncanny and unchallenged.
And now unappreciated -- simultaneously called "pathetic" and "tone-deaf," respectively, by the left in The Progressive and the right in The Washington Times.
Turns out that Jarrett's wrong -- there's nothing "extraordinary" about Obama's talent in reading people or understanding economics.

WHAT THEY WOULD SAY ABOUT RUSH IS "THE MOST LISTENED TO TALK SHOW HOST IN THE COUNTRY AND THE MOST SUCCESSFUL POLITICAL COMMENTATOR OF ALL TIME WITH AN AUDIANCE OF 20 MILLION!A man that has predicted EVERYTHING Obama would do to the letter and is right about 99% of the time on every issue.A man that truly does have talent on loan from God.
You are calling Rush a conservative? He is nothing of the sorts. He is a neo-con prick. A fat miserable bastard who acts tough but would not survice 10 min in a society where he was not protected by societys laws. He acts like he is an alpha male when in reality he is a little fat pussy. I hate that guy he is an embarrasment to the human race and definetly NOT a conservative!!

________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ______________
A tweet from a CNN reporter traveling with Obama on Air Force One, describing an irrational remark and behavior exhibited by the President, has brought to the surface the question of his emotional and mental stability. Put together with the craziness going on at American airports with the groping of travelers genitals by poorly trained inspectors, more questions are arising as to what is going on in behind the scenes in the White House.
Rumors have been making the rounds of the Internet for months about Obama's short temper and the quarreling between him and his staff. Now there is speculation that the November 2, 2010 election in which Obama and the Democrats were slapped down by voters, has pushed Obama over the edge. Along with Pelosi and Reid, left with dwindling power, the thinking is there is some mental disabilities in their refusal to accept that the Tea Party helped to defeat them and reject the socialist-leaning programs forced through the Congress with cajoling and bribes.
Speculation has begun to surface about whether Obama has a drinking or drug problem or if he is suffering from a Narcisstic Personality Disorder. According to the Mayo Clinic, NPS is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration...believe they are superior to others....is characaterized by dramatic emotional behavior in the same category as antisocial and personality disorders.
Some of the symptoms as described by the Mayo Clinic are that appear to be shown by Obama include:
•Believing one is better than others
•Fantalizing about power, success and attractiveness
•Exaggerting achievements or talentsd
•Believing one is special and acts accordingly
•Expressing distain superior to others
Because the Internet has become a communication tool, no longer can a president's behavior be hidden from the public. As shown by the Tweet of a CNN reporter, there are thousands of reporters, representing both the news media and private citizen reporters, that keep politicians under constant scrutiny.
Now the question about whether or not the White House has turned into a cuckoo's nest will continue to be investigated and no matter how much money Soros pours into trying to control the media, the truth will out.

Obama disintegrating before our very eyes
The Examiner ^ | November 23, 2010 | Gil Guignat
________________________ ________________________ _______
Obama has a very recognizable way of pounding people into submission. He first has to make them red out with anger.
There is a proverb attributed toEuripides, that goes like this:
“Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad (angry)”
Obama’s only way of governing is to enrage various groups of people. Before you let yourself be enraged, realize that that is the way you destroy yourself from within and end up giving in to the source of your rage. This is a well known psycho-political technique to totally enslave and destroy the masses. One very well known example is the German hatred of the Jews in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Germans were whipped up in a red hot hatred of the Jews and they ended up destroying themselves in the most gruesome way. Remember this example the next time you hear Obama spewing his poison against a group of people.
Obama pits one group against the other. Hispanics, anglos, Muslims, rich, poor, employed, unemployed, TSA gropers, airport travelers all have one thing in common. They are all whipped in a frenzy of anger to be at each other’s throats. That is the Obama way to a Marxist-socialist utopia.
More and more there are stories as to whether Obama is not completely breaking down. Remember those who stoke the fires of hatred as Obama has will eventually completely disintegrate and self destruct.

Along with Pelosi and Reid, left with dwindling power, the thinking is there is some mental disabilities in their refusal to accept that the Tea Party helped to defeat them and reject the socialist-leaning programs forced through the Congress with cajoling and bribes.” More…
Lest you think the above is exaggerated, Dick Morris has just informed us that Obama plans on ruling the country dictator style by simply signing executive orders giving him powers by side stepping the congress totally. He plans on signing into effect the DREAM act which is blanket amnesty for illegal aliens, card check which makes union voting by the rank and file available for all to see, an energy policy which will strangle the American economy. If you cannot see that these are the actions of a lunatic, don’t worry there is more.
“Does President Obama plan to move to the center in response to his overwhelming rejection at the polls on November 2nd? No way! Instead, he is moving to implement, through executive action, two of the most controversial items in his 2010 agenda — a carbon tax and pollution permit system and a ban on the use of secret ballots in union elections. Through executive action by the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the Obama Administration is planning to effectuate both policies without asking Congress.
Never mind that he couldn’t persuade even a top heavy Democratic Congress to pass either program. Or that public opinion polls show massive rejection of both measures. Or that each is a sure job killer by itself — and together, they are even worse. This arrogant, ideologically-driven radical is determined to have his way and the public be damned!” More…
If you think that our accusations that Obama is more and more showing the signs of a dictator in the making consider the government’s new implementation of the TSA pat down techniques. These are the actions of a totalitarian government. This government action is nothing more than a trial balloon to see how much Americans can be pushed to submit. Isn’t it odd for example that Janet Incompetano, our Secretary of Homeland Security, is considering giving Muslim women a pass on the pat downs in the airport but ordinary Americans are going to be subjected to body cavity checks like inmates of a prison? Remember how we explained how this government likes to pit one group against the other? You are witnessing it in real time.
Consider the below Popular Mechanics article by Bruce Schneider where he asserts that the TSA techniques will not stop any terrorists. We have to ask that if the TSA strip searches will not stop terrorists then why is the government doing this do you suppose?
“Since 9/11, cryptology expert and security consultant Bruce Schneier has been one of the most pointed critics of the government’s anti-terrorism security programs. In his 2003 book “Beyond Fear,” he coined the phrase “security theater” to refer to measures which are undertaken not because they will be effective at thwarting attacks, but because the agencies carrying them out need to appear to be doing something useful. We spoke to Schneier about the recent controversy involving the Transport Security Agency’s use of invasive scanners and full-body pat-downs.” More…
Finally we like to end with an example of our very own Arizona. Obama has gone out of his way to make border security as unsafe as possible. He has peppered the state with lawsuits preventing police from doing its job and he is pulling the National Guard off of the US-Mexico border all in order to get the Hispanic vote.
“LISBON, Portugal — President Barack Obama on Saturday acknowledged some travelers' "frustrations" with having to go through full-body pat-downs and scans at airports, but he said the enhanced security measures are necessary to keep America safe. “ More…
But wait if it is Obama’s objective to keep Americans safe, why is he preventing Arizona form defending itself and leaving the borders defenseless. Obviously the issue is not public safety. It is public enslavement.
Everything Obama does is designed to make people as angry as possible and if he gets you to bite on the bait he will destroy you from within! If you don’t bite on the bait and realize what he is doing he will destroy himself. After all if you know how the sorcerer does his trick, what hold does he have over you? None!

The Presidential Wars-Tracking the source of Obama’s strange and troubling attitudes
Frontpagemagazine ^ | Jul 13th, 2011 | David Solway
________________________ ________________________ ________________________ _______
The temper of mind of the current occupant of the White House has led to considerable controversy and much speculation respecting causes and origins. For some, like Stanley Kurtz and Dinesh D’Souza, Obama’s strange and troubling attitudes are not hard to fathom and track to their source; his insecure past, random upbringing and dubious influences may well have given us the third-rate and self-regarding dilettante orating on the national stage today. For others, mainly among a skeptical lay populace, the president remains something of an enigma. But most of his critics agree that, as the intellectual ward of sundry leftist ideologues, his lack of any significant political accomplishments prior to his elevation to the presidency and the crippling dearth of fresh ideas and original solutions to national problems should come as no surprise. Whatever factors might account for his lack of fit—D’Souza, for example, believes that Obama is motivated primarily by an anti-colonial rage learned from his father—it is becoming increasingly clear that Barack Obama is egregiously unqualified for the highest office in the land.
This is not to suggest that he is entirely without gifts. He does command a potent rhetorical flair, albeit with the help of his ubiquitous teleprompter. He flashes a winning smile when it suits. He knows how to target and malign his adversaries, a technique he picked up from the writings of his mentor, Saul Alinsky, which he has followed with exemplary fidelity. His studied mellifluousness is able to cajole an impressionable audience (so long, that is, as he stays on teleprompter and the device works properly). Such attainments make him a formidable figure in any conceivable debate, encounter or address.
But aside from the neo-Marxist agenda he rigidly adheres to, his is not a stable personality. He is a classic narcissist, enamored of his mediatric presence, self-indulgent, thin-skinned, incapable of making clear decisions that require the labor of thought and which he generally outsources to his aides and advisers, and indifferent to the consequences of his actions—or lack of such. It is fair to assume that he is far more preoccupied with his own welfare than with the welfare of the nation he was elected to govern, which he never ceases to lecture on the virtues of austerity while himself enjoying abundant leisure, frequent vacations and a millionaire’s income. This makes him not only a narcissist but a hypocrite.
Perhaps more interesting is his concept of who qualifies as an enemy or a problem. It is certainly not the genocidal and anti-American Iranian regime with which he has sought to enter into sympathetic conversation, or the Syrian butcher Bashar Assad whom his secretary of state has called a “reformer,” or the Muslim Brotherhood which patently envisages the subversion of America and which he now esteems as a formal partner in dialogue, or the Russian autocracy currently flexing its muscles in the international arena, or China and its expansionist designs. Obama’s policies with regard to these actors are limp and recessive, if not actually non-existent.
On the contrary, Obama has redefined the concept of an enemy or a problem to incorporate America’s democratic allies, such as Honduras and especially Israel, two countries that have felt the brunt of his scorn and even his anger. No less distressing, Obama has turned his vindictiveness on diverse sectors of his own people, be they conservatives, Republicans, Tea Partiers, certain News organizations, radio hosts, middle class white voters, various job-producing industries, defenders of the southern border against cartel-related violence and infiltration, patriots who reject blanket amnesty for “illegals,” those who earn more than $250,000 per annum and, indeed, anyone who dares challenge his ascendancy or oppose his socialist and redistributionist program for the nation.
Tom Blumer, who refers to Obama as a “punk president,” remarks that the president’s administration “seemingly treats anyone who would disturb its budding empire as an enemy and not merely as an opponent.” No “seemingly” about it. Blogger Doug Ross has provided a salient if partial list of those whom Obama reckons as enemies. For Obama, the enemy or the problem is not someone who wants to blow up Times Square or enter the country illegally or build a mosque in the vicinity of Ground Zero but anyone who entertains a different idea of what national security, social cohesion and economic prosperity may entail.
In fact, the enemy is a large segment of the very population he is sworn to protect and honorably represent, if not the very country itself he ostensibly leads. His campaign against the vigor and solvency of the United States is indisputable, whether we are considering the unsustainable exorbitance of “Obamacare”; or the bid to install cap-and-trade; or the printing of fiat money; or the defamatory assault against the Chamber of Commerce; or the strangling effects of excessive bureaucratic regulation; or his intention, let’s say, to raise high the debt ceiling, carpenter; or his politicization of the Department of Justice; or his reluctance to drill for oil which would move the country along the path to energy self-sufficiency and create hundreds of thousands of new jobs in the process. It is hard to avoid the conclusion that for this president, the United States is Battleground America.
True, probing so inscrutable a personality as Barack Obama can be a frustrating proposition. The president, after all, is vexingly protean. Is Victor Davis Hanson accurate in his playboy depiction of Obama as “an inexperienced, hard-left, messianic president whose job apparently was to enjoy life, politick, play golf, hang out at Martha’s Vineyard, pick up prizes and awards, and turn the economy and foreign policy over to the Ivy League professoriate.”? Does “Obama clearly ha[ve] Muslim sensibilities,” as African-American clergyman E.W. Jackson claims? Is Stanley Kurtz right to see him almost exclusively as a “stealth” socialist or is Dinesh D’Souza closer to the truth when he posits a hatred for America stemming from Obama’s anti-colonialist father? Theories abound.
Nevertheless, as I have pointed out, several aspects or features of his “career” are plainly observable: his relatively obscure past, air of resentment and obvious irascibility, his anti-American training and agenda, his indecisiveness in foreign policy, and his evident belligerence and even hostility toward those of his fellow Americans who tend to disagree with him. As Alinsky recommended in Rules for Radicals, “pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it.” And this is precisely what Obama has done, though sparing America’s self-declared enemies where such a tactic would be useful and productive.
Instead, he has applied Alinsky’s Rule 13 not only to America’s geostrategic allies, but also to those amongst the American electorate whom he views as competitors, or as obstacles to his leveling ambitions, or indeed to anyone who resists on principle his vision for the country’s future. As has been well-documented, he does not engage in reasonable discussion; he attacks, denounces, slanders and strikes—he will bring a gun to a knife fight. And where he can, he will govern by executive order. There is lots of temper in his temperament. Such is his modus operandi.
Let Americans not be deceived about this. They are ruled by a gimcrack president with a chip on his shoulder who has bought into a loony and retrograde ideology. Worse, the nonsense Obama spouts and enacts is nothing short of destructive. As novelist and poet Mervyn Peake has said, “Nonsense can take you by the hand and lead you nowhere.” In the case we are examining, a winning smile is a losing proposition. As for rhetoric, it is as often as not a strategic distraction; by their deeds shall ye know them. The economic plan Obama is implementing looks to bankrupt the country. By his lights, Congress is a nuisance to be circumvented, as in the Libyan affair. The dictates and Resolutions of the United Nations appear to take precedence over the Articles of the Constitution, which is an impediment to his political designs. We are informed that America is no more “exceptional” than any other nation. And as we have seen, Americans of a different persuasion are to be frozen, personalized and polarized.
All this is so well known as to require little commentary; yet many are loath to draw the inescapable conclusion. A president for whom the major battle to be fought and won is not with totalitarian entities or hegemonic Islam but with center-right, consensus America is a president who is himself the enemy or the problem.

BOB WOODWARD: Obama Is Showing 'A Kind Of Madness I Haven't Seen In A Long Time'
Brett LoGiurato|Feb. 27, 2013, 9:23 AM|20,519|49
The Washington Post's Bob Woodward ripped into President Barack Obama on "Morning Joe" today, saying he's exhibiting a "kind of madness I haven't seen in a long time" for a decision not to deploy an aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf because of budget concerns.
"Can you imagine Ronald Reagan sitting there and saying, 'Oh, by the way, I can't do this because of some budget document?'" Woodward said.
"Or George W. Bush saying, 'You know, I'm not going to invade Iraq because I can't get the aircraft carriers I need?'" Or even Bill Clinton saying, 'You know, I'm not going to attack Saddam Hussein's intelligence headquarters,' ... because of some budget document?"
The Defense Department said in early February that it would not deploy the U.S.S. Harry Truman to the Persian Gulf, citing budget concerns relating to the looming cuts known as the sequester.
"Under the Constitution, the President is commander-in-chief and employs the force. And so we now have the President going out because of this piece of paper and this agreement. 'I can’t do what I need to do to protect the country,'" Woodward said.
"That’s a kind of madness that I haven't seen in a long time," he said.
Woodward's harsh criticism came after he stirred controversy last weekend by calling out Obama for what he said was "moving the goal posts" on the sequester by requesting that revenue be part of a deal to avert it.
Here's the clip, via Mediaite:

The Defense Department said in early February that it would not deploy the U.S.S. Harry Truman to the Persian Gulf, citing budget concerns relating to the looming cuts known as the sequester.
"Under the Constitution, the President is commander-in-chief and employs the force. And so we now have the President going out because of this piece of paper and this agreement. 'I can’t do what I need to do to protect the country,'" Woodward said.
"That’s a kind of madness that I haven't seen in a long time," he said.
Woodward's harsh criticism came after he stirred controversy last weekend by calling out Obama for what he said was "moving the goal posts" on the sequester by requesting that revenue be part of a deal to avert it.

Obama married a narcissistic sociopath because that's exactly what he is. He's been able to hide it better than his wife though. But his wife is really starting to show her true colors and it has to weigh on Obama.

Forensic profiler: Obama 'slipping mentally' Veteran of O.J., Natalie Holloway cases expects 'more
wnd ^ | 7/13/14 | Bob Unruh
Posted on July 13, 2014 3:50:55 PM EDT by Nachum
A forensic profiler whose career has included work on the double-murder case against O.J. Simpson and the Natalie Holloway disappearance says Barack Obama is confessing he’s under enormous pressure and is “slipping mentally.”
“Not madness such as total loss of control mentally, but more and more drastic behavior seen in disturbed traumatized leaders,” said Andrew G. Hodges, M.D., who wrote “The Obama Confession: Secret Fear, Secret Fury.”
Hodges, an expert who previously suggested Obama was revealing alarming ideas about martial law and described how the president wants “total gun control,” provided to WND an analysis of some of Obama’s recent comments, specifically those from speeches in Minneapolis in late June.
“On June 27, he said that Republican inaction ‘drives you nuts … and it drives me nuts.’ He reveals his enormous internal pressure – far greater than his conscious mind knows.

Is Obama’s constant, inappropriate laughter a sign that he is suffering from a mental disorder?

Obama looking stupid
One of the classic signs of serious mental illness is “inappropriate affect.” In this context, “affect” is the emotional face we present to the world. To the extent that a narcissist’s only emotional fixed point is his own need, most of a narcissists affects are actually faked, but that doesn’t mean they’re inappropriate.
The narcissist knows that it would harm his best interests if he were to giggle uncontrollably at a funeral or pick a fist fight with a patient in hospice. Normal people wouldn’t even think of doing such things (outside of the comedy universe), but a narcissist might want to do both, only to stop himself for fear of breaking cover.
Sometimes, though, narcissists, and other sick people, are so disconnected from reality — including their reality of their own best interests in a given situation — that they can no longer stop themselves from presenting an entirely wrong emotional face to the public. That completely disconnected emotional presentation goes by the shorthand title of “inappropriate affect.”
One of the major subsets of inappropriate affect is “inappropriate laughter.” There are seldom any good excuses for behavior. Here’s one short, computer-generated, somewhat repetitive list of some of the major causes behind inappropriate laughter:
Causes of Inappropriate laughter:
The following medical conditions are some of the possible causes of Inappropriate laughter. There are likely to be other possible causes, so ask your doctor about your symptoms.
•Drug intoxication
•Substance abuse
•Dementia
•Temporal lobe injury
•Alcohol intoxication
Common Causes: Inappropriate laughter
Some of the possible common medical causes of Inappropriate laughter may include:
•Drug intoxication
•Substance abuse
•Dementia
•Temporal lobe injury
Other Causes: Inappropriate laughter
Some of the less common causes of Inappropriate laughter may include:
•Tic disorders
•Tourette syndrome
•Social anxiety
•Angelman syndrome
•Pseudobulbar palsy
•Gelastic epilepsy
•Brain tumors
•Multiple sclerosis
•Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
I don’t mean to write a psychological treatise here. I freely admit I’m not qualified to do so, other than having the dubious pleasure of knowing over the years people suffering from narcissism, schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, dementia, etc. Instead, this information is a set-up to the fact that Barack Obama has been behaving very peculiarly lately, with the most obvious manifestation of this peculiar behavior being inappropriate laughter.
Think back to his meeting with Texas Governor Rick Perry regarding the tens of thousands of children storming the border. This flood of humanity has been overwhelming resources and bringing both crime and disease in its wake (and that’s not even counting the crimes visited upon the children themselves, especially sexual crimes).
Even if Obama’s ideology means that he is celebrating the breakdown of America’s border, a high-functioning narcissist would recognize that the public doesn’t want to see the American president laughing about a man-created disaster our southern border. Laughter, however, is precisely what the president offered to the American people:
Obama thinks the border is a joke
Obama thinks the border is a joke 2
Looking at that picture, the first thought a mentally healthy person would have is “There’s something very wrong going on there.” (As for the laughter from Obama’s entourage, we know he surrounds himself by “yes” men, so it’s not unreasonable for those same “yes” men to laugh when the boss laughs, no matter the absence of actual humor.)
It would be easy enough to pass off what happened in the Texas meeting if it weren’t for the fact that Obama was at it again just today. This morning, news broke that Malaysian Airlines, which already lost a plane with all its crew and passengers just a few months ago, once again lost a plane.
This time, if reports are accurate, pro-Russian forces in the Ukraine deliberately shot down a passenger jet traveling from Amsterdam to Malaya. All 295 people aboard the plane died, including 23 Americans.
No matter how one looks at the crash, it’s no laughing matter. There’s the human tragedy of so many deaths, there’s the national tragedy of so many American deaths, and there’s the international concern of Russian forces shooting down planes. Putin may have bitten off more than he can chew with his Ukraine adventure, but the fact remains that it’s a big deal when the Russian military kills close to 300 people, many of them Americans, and apparently does so intentionally.
So what does Obama do in the face of this big and serious deal? He gives the event a cursory 40 second salute and then, as if by the click of switch, reverts to his prepared remarks, smiling and cracking jokes:
The videos currently available don’t quite capture Obama’s bizarre emotional transition. It remains to the press, many of whom are or have been Obama supporters, to paint a picture of his emotional distance:
Obama, in sum: A plane crashed. It may be tragic. We’re trying to see if US citizens were on board. Hey, great to be in Delaware!

— stuart stevens (@stuartpstevens) July 17, 2014
Even Piers Morgan (Piers Morgan!!) was shocked by Obama’s cavalier attitude towards a human tragedy and international problem:
President Obama massively dropped the ball just now. 23 Americans killed and he says ‘it looks like a terrible tragedy’ then back to jokes? — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 17, 2014
Let me help, Mr President – it IS a terrible tragedy, and it’s more probably mass murder of your citizens & many other nations’ citizens.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 17, 2014
Singer Josh Groban added his own two cents to Morgan’s comments:
Just awful > Rt @joshgroban @piersmorgan I totally agree. Bad prep. I was shocked. — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 17, 2014
Obama’s bizarre quips and laughter have also surfaced in connection with an increasingly voiced concern that he has created a serious constitutional crisis by ignoring Congress’s laws and creating his own. The preceding 43 presidents, if they were challenged on the ground that they violated their constitutional oath, would strike back with carefully prepared remarks justifying their conduct and pointing to authority.
That’s not what Obama has done. Instead, as Rich Lowry details, he’s once again engaged in peculiar and inappropriate flights of “humor”:
President Barack Obama styles himself a wit, and some of his best material lately has to do with his abuse of his powers.
“Middle-class families can’t wait for Republicans in Congress to do stuff,” Obama told a crowd on the Georgetown Waterfront on July 1. “So sue me.” Hilarity ensued.
He cracked them up in Austin last week. “You hear some of them,” he said, referring to Republicans, “‘sue him,’ ‘impeach him.’ Really? Really? For what? You’re going to sue me for doing my job?”
[snip]
It takes a truly blithe spirit to play the constitutional deformation of his office, and the ensuing congressional reaction, for laughs.
Once again, rational people must look at Obama’s misplaced jocularity and think to themselves “There’s something very wrong happening there.”
Going back to that laundry list, above, detailing the most common reasons for inappropriate laughter, it seems to me that there are only a few we can discount immediately, such as Tourette syndrome, Angelman syndrome, tic disorders, etc.
Others raise themselves as real possibilities. Take substance abuse, for example. Given Obama’s youthful problems with marijuana and cocaine, it’s perfectly reasonable to believe that, as the stresses of his office pile up (including the stress attendant upon setting up an imperial presidency), Obama is self-medicating. There are also perennial rumors that both Obamas, Michelle and Barack, drink too much.
If there’s no substance abuse, Obama’s bizarre behavior could stem from an organic disorder. This disorder could run the gamut from dementia and schizophrenia to a brain tumor.
Or, of course, and perhaps most likely, we could just be seeing the grandiose stylings of a malignant narcissist drunk with power. Surrounded by his flunkies and acolytes, enjoying the permanent job security that comes with his race, and delighting in the downfall of a country he hates (his own, as it happens), Obama may perceive himself as a man without any of the limitations that confine ordinary people. Nothing can touch him.
Regardless of the cause, when the president of what still is, just barely, the most powerful nation in the world begins to behave abnormally in public, people have to start worrying. Whether our president is under the influence, crazy, ill, or just power mad, we Americans are suddenly finding ourselves in exactly the same position as Europeans of old who suffered through the madness brought about by hereditary monarchs in the grip of megalomanias that resulted from everything from inbreeding, to syphilis, to the mental corruption of absolute power.

accurate, but that's pandering. Palin actually tried to connect with them thru "education is bad!" and Romney tried the "I'm also unemployed" card after "Who let the dogs out" failed.
All politicians try to find ways to connect with their base. Some shoot legislation with rifles lol. Obama is choosing junk food. Personally, I think the junk food is his way of shitting on the first lady, who knows.

Is Obama Presidentially-Incapacitated by Narcissistic Rage? --

Is Obama Presidentially-Incapacitated by Narcissistic Rage?
For those perplexed by Barack Obama's often inexplicable behavior, wonder no more.
An individual with narcissistic personality disorder exhibits extreme self-importance, has a constant need for attention and admiration, is secretive and controlling, cannot empathize with others, and has a heightened sensitivity to criticism. To get the attention he craves, a narcissist may try to create crises or diversions that return the focus to him. The narcissist feels entitled, that the world owes him, regardless of whether he makes a contribution.
Narcissists are selfish and self-centered people, who are capable only of thinking about their own issues regarding power, prestige, and personal adequacy. They cannot understand the problems of people around them, and are not aware of other peoples' feelings. Although they act superior and confident, this actually hides the fact that they have very fragile egos. They live with the illusion that they are perfectionists and that people revere them. The slightest disrespect or challenge can quickly lead to the development of "Narcissistic Rage," a term coined by Heinz Kohut in his 1972 book "The Analysis of the Self." The fuming rage the narcissist exhibits is different from the anger that people usually feel; it is either irrational or severely blown out of proportion from an insignificant remark or action. According to Kohut, this rage impairs a narcissist's cognition, therefore impairing his judgment.
A narcissist needs to sustain the illusion of being bigger, larger, smarter and more successful than everyone else in order to feel stable. Narcissists need constant admiration, attention and compliments, not to increase their self-esteem, but to prevent a feeling of instability that could lead to dysfunction or breakdown. Narcissistic rage occurs when that core instability is heightened. In essence, the reason narcissists are so self-centered is that their grandiosity-based personality needs to be constantly reinforced to remain stable.
In the present context, narcissistic rage can take two forms:
I. Explosive - The narcissist attacks everyone in his immediate vicinity and is verbally and psychologically abusive.
II. Pernicious or Passive-Aggressive - The narcissist sulks, gives the silent treatment or is vindictive, plotting how to put the transgressors in their proper place. They can sabotage the work of people whom they regard to be the sources of their mounting wrath.
As described by Ernest Istook, Obama's behavior matches the American Psychiatric Association's definition of passive-aggressive behavior, "a habitual pattern of passive resistance to expected work requirements, opposition, stubbornness, and negativistic attitudes in response to requirements for normal performance levels expected of others." Often, such persons see themselves as blameless victims, projecting fault onto others. Commonly, they follow erratic paths and cause constant conflicts.
Obama is cautious and dithers even on perilous issues like confronting the ISIS threat, not as a result of campaign promises, but because to make any decision risks the reassuring adulation of his political base and a fawning media.
And nothing the narcissist says is ever what he means. Language is simply used as a tool for deception, and manipulation. Everything they do is for show, or only meant in the moment. That's why everything around them seems so chaotic and confusing.
Obama's vindictive and illegal use of the IRS results from his perception that critics are enemies, seeing Republicans as a greater threat to him personally than terrorists. When you are a narcissist, the world looks like it should approve, adore, agree and obey you. Anything less than that seems like an assault and a narcissist feels justified in raging back at it.
No one should expect a significant change in Obama's behavior because narcissists demonstrate an enduring pattern of inflexibility that is pervasive across a broad range of personal and social situations.
Nevertheless, even narcissists eventually have to be held accountable for their actions.
