Obama going off the deep end

Obama going off the deep end

"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."
