Obama's 'Delayed Empathy' over Fort Hood Massacre
American Thinker ^ | 11-7-2009 | Rick Moran

Posted on 11/07/2009 6:42:13 AM PST by no-llmd

This hasn't gotten half the play it should have and for good reason; President Obama's weird, off-putting introduction to his remarks about the Fort Hood massacre reveal him to be something of a cold fish. Shocking insensitivity.

It was his Narcissistic personality on full display.

Yes! One cannot delay that which he does not have. It looks like some members of the press are beginning to see the hoodwink. Any supposed empathy that obummer displays is tightly scripted to give the illusion of caring. As time goes on, experience will show his true colors, and his disguise is wearing very thin right now.

“reveal him to be something of a cold fish”

Let’s see, a baby is a ‘punishment’, and a baby who survives an abortion should not be given medical care and allowed to live, but the Ft. Hood incident REVEALS that Dear Leader is a “cold fish”.

Well, g-o-l-l-e-e-e-e-e-e, what a surprise!

O’Reilly was particularly disgusting last night.

“not an idiot; a narcissistic”

I thought it was very telling when Michelle O was recently interviewed and asked to describe the Big Zero and she immediately said, “He’s perfect” and then hastily went on to blather about tennis or something.

I suspect that at times he makes her crazy with his superior attitude and the fact that he is convinced he is God.

I once knew someone similar to the Big Zero and, over the years, he gradually went rather nuts.

Obama was raised a moslem. He would not care if a bunch od non believers are killed by a fellow moslem. He does not care what happens to any non believer and that is why he is killin America.

The issue is deeper than empathy.

President Obama is Commander-in-Chief. The buck stops at his office. That means President Obama is liable for those crimes, unless he enforces the law and holds his officers accountable for the events to occur.

The worst possible state of affairs between officer and enlisted is for an officer to draw a weapon on an enlisted man. Nothing else causes more damage to trust faith and confidence in the chain of command.

What has the Commander-in-Chief done as a leader, a commander, or even a public figure whi is in the direct chain of command of the perpetrator of this crime?

Empathy doesn’t mean crap.

That was the Ron Brown funeral.

There is also the famous photo of Clinton and Walter Mondolt in full raucus guffaw at the Wellstone Memorial Fune-O-Rama and Monster Truck Rally.

The man is a socio/psychopath: Sociopath definition...

Antisocial Personality Disorder is also known as psychopathy or sociopathy. Individuals with this disorder have little regard for the feeling and welfare of others. As a clinical diagnosis it is usually limited to those over age 18. It can be diagnosed in younger people if the they commit isolated antisocial acts and do not show signs of another mental disorder. Antisocial Personality Disorder is chronic, beginning in adolescence and continuing throughout adulthood. There are ten general symptoms:

not learning from experience
no sense of responsibility
inability to form meaningful relationships
inability to control impulses
lack of moral sense
chronically antisocial behavior
no change in behavior after punishment
emotional immaturity
lack of guilt
self-centeredness

Obama fits the mold perfectly. And this is not a good thing for someone in the Presidency of the United States.

I think this was intended to be lighthearted and flippant and disrespectful.

I think it was the equivalent of putting his middle finger to the side of his nose in that speech talking about Hillary.

He could never disown the Muslim shooter, any more than he could disown the Muslim community.

I only watched bits and pieces of O’Reilly last night (”The March of the Penguins” was being shown on the Weather Channel), but the Peters segment was worth watching. I must have missed the disgusting parts of the program.

O’Reilly was waffling so much it was disgusting. That may have been because Geraldo Rivera was sitting in the studio with him. Rivera is always ready to read-into the mind of a criminal, and quick to excuse a minority.

Yep. The minute a muzzie commits an act of terrorism, the “muslim community” automatically becomes the victim.

Zero and his ilk hate the military and think they are a useless waste of money that would be better spent on “social programs”.

I posted my outrage at The Won’s Thursday “shout out” at the American Indian Panderfest and Multi-Culti Photo Op thusly...

The first thing that came to my mind was the near “sprint” to the microphone our Dear Leader did to express his OUTRAGE over the STUPID actions of the OBVIOUSLY RAAAACIST Cambridge Police Officer for arresting (what videp tapes proved) the mouthy, beligerant, (though by Obama’s claims he was a dear, profoundly educated leader in this field) Prof. Gates. THAT was importantly race baiting and agenda fitting.

Some “profoundly educated leader in his (military psychiatric) field, dear Muslim (obviously, like Prof. Gates a victim of RAAAACISM) shooting up a bunch a soldiers in Texas...well...what is there to find outrage in that?
Will Hasan be invited over for a beer?

Czar Nicky abdicated the throne with pistols from his military officers aimed at his head.

I could live with that were it to happen in current times ;)

“Obama AGREES with the terrorists!

Obama is a Muslim and AGREES with this “devout Muslin” that slaughtered our military men and women.”

I’m afraid you’re right. This is going to be a rough 38 months till the sob is gone from office

Empathy and sincerity are valuable traits in a leader, at least in a democracy. If you don't have them, it's almost as good if you can fake them convincingly. Clinton could fake them, which was a big part of his political success (notably after the Oklahoma City bombing). Obama is too cool and detached--he doesn't try to fake them.

Clinton is also a sociopath, but probably did less long-term damage in two terms than Obama will do in his first term.
