Krauthammer’s Take: ‘The President Doesn’t Even Know His Own Mind’ By NRO Staff September 3, 2014

“We thought a week ago [President Obama] didn’t have a strategy,” says Charles Krauthammer. “Now we know that he doesn’t even have an objective.” That is Dr. K’s takeaway from the president’s morning press conference, at which the president both pledged to defeat the Islamic State and suggested he’d be fine with degrading it to where it was merely “manageable.”

“He doesn’t know if [his objective] is to destroy or containment,” Krauthammer said.

I like Krauthammer, but I think it is more the case that Obama either doesn’t care, or doesn’t want to tell the truth. He is being pressured by lousy poll numbers to appear strong, and so is doiing it all haphazardly.

Krauthammer is right though, but in a general sense - I firmly believe Obama is severely mentally or emotionally disturbed. He reminds me of one of my brothers who is a sociopath-lite.

Krauthammer for President.

In 2008, I said “AnybodybutObama”...
In 2012, I said, AnybodybutObama”...
Now, I say the same thing and it is more urgent now than ever with the exception of Hilliary. HECK, even dumb dink head Kerry could do a better job.
What a sad state of affairs.

ISIS is like a cancer. Eradicate it or it will kill you.

Bingo.

He doesn’t want to lose popularity with the American people, but first things first, and he does have the objectives you name. He figures on living large in the USA and regaining popularity a la Clinton, or, equally acceptable, living large in exile. No big. He will live large either way.

Charles K cracks me up. The other night he said, as he has many times, that Obama is a “narcissist” and he’s surrounded by “Sycophants”....

LOL, Obama is president BECAUSE he abandoned his “mind.”

The moment he tries to get it back for himself, he’ll have to answer to Jarrett.

And his weenie can’t handle that.

Lately, O looks and behaves like he is on some type of psych meds. I think he is totally “losing it.”

Why Jarrett hasn't achieved the status of Rasputin, the evil advisor who had the ear of the last Romanovs, is beyond me. It's though she doesn't exist in the scheme of things to eradicate this country as she sits at the right hand of the Destroyer.

She is just as teflon as he.
