AWAKEN, O AMERICA, YOUR LIBERTY IS CALLING

Is this a trick question?
"The president’s problem isn’t that he is too visible; it’s the lack of content in what he says when he keeps showing up on the tube. Obama can seem a mite too impressed with his own aura, as if his presence on the stage is the Answer. There is, at times, a self-referential (even self-reverential) tone in his big speeches. They are heavily salted with the words “I” and “my.” (He used the former 11 times in the first few paragraphs of his address to the U.N. last week.) Obama is a historic figure, but that is the beginning, not the end, of the story."
"There is only so much political mileage that can still be had by his reminding the world that he is not George W. Bush. It was the winning theme of the 2008 campaign, but that race ended nearly a year ago. The ex-president is now more ex than ever, yet the current president, who vowed to look forward, is still reaching back to Bush as bogeyman."
"He did it again in that U.N. speech. The delegates wanted to know what the president was going to do about Israel and the Palestinian territories. He answered by telling them what his predecessor had failed to do. This was effective for his first month or two. Now it is starting to sound more like an excuse than an explanation."
That’s from Howard Fineman, whose next appearance on “Countdown” is likely to be, shall we say, stormy. Meanwhile, WaPo’s Richard Cohen is troubled:
They’re just NOW figuring that out?
He’s a narcissist. Most narcissists are harmless.......unless he’s POTUS...............
Ever since he showed up with his “Office of the President Elect” logo, it’s been disgusting.
“Obama is a historic figure”
It’s sad that the first “black President” is going to leave his kind of legacy. The way he’s going, he’ll easily top the “worst Presidents ever” list.
Yes, Obama is an historic figure. He’s the first President ever who was born on August 4.
I see some depression setting in with some of these lefties.
They so much wanted a “good guy”. What they got was a juvenile narcissist.
All the signs were there way before the election. They wanted to win so they dumped any integrity they had left and jumped on board the jackass.
Now they are left with a nothing is bigger than I, me, or my, empty suit. Am empty suit that is unable to think beyond his own self interest.
The world is laughing at Obozo. The world’s bad guys are setting themselves up to exploit the foolish leader of the US.
..a time bomb is ticking...
What's so hard to understand?
He probably figures that it worked for him all through the campaign when idiots all across America voted for him because he "made them feel good".
“I see some depression setting in with some of these lefties.

I guess anyone could become a narcissist if day in and day out the media treated them like a god.
To be fair, there is and has been an office for the President-elect long before Barruh the Commie came to power, but he’s the first to blow it completely out of proportion—kinda like the czar issue. Yes, they existed before BTC, but he’s just taken it to a whole new level of abuse of power.
And he should know as former head of Mass General's psychiatric departement.
“The world is laughing at Obozo.”
I don`t know about that. In Europe, at least, it seems he is very popular with the average peron in the street. It will be interesting to see if he manages to become a lame duck by the end of his first year.
Obama is a fascist - period.
Keep it pithy . . .
