I think Obama is losing it, his grip, his magic touch, and his formerly impeccable sense of timing. Just look at hte mess his life is becoming and all of it started on such an orgasmic note (if you’ll please forgive the vulgarity) and he’s degenerating now that there’s no one to prop him up.He can’t just walk away and there is no one but him to get himself out of this mess.
“I thought they were clever commies choreographing every move they made”
They’ve been able to choreograph everything but the results of their actions. They can’t order the economy to improve and they can’t just choreograph a successful business development. Obama is clueless of the concept of ‘process’ and that is the crucial part of his administration’s failure to get the ocuntry back on track. He is too used to things simply appearing on a silver platter and then things happening. In the Presidency, it isn’t as easy, which is why teh most successful presidents have been those with a solid business background.
Barry has never had results in anything he has “done” - in quotes, because he hasn’t done anything, really, except move his way up the food chain. Even in this, he has been essentially moved ahead by other people who found his stupidity and skin color useful to them in furthering their goals (to make the US into a socialist or fascist country).
I agree that he’s losing it, not necessarily because of lack of results, but because he’s not getting the ego-stoking that he used to get. That’s what he lives for. The press is still with him, although there are murmurs even there, but it is becoming clear that the general population, even those who voted for him, are no longer prepared to fall down and worship. It is also becoming clear that even the press can’t protect him forever, and that maybe our political system is stronger than his dictatorial drive and is beginning to push back.
As you say, he has never been in a business situation where reality intervened and made him assess his behavior. I’m not sure he’s actually capable of doing this, because I believe he’s seriously unstable (the other word might be “crazy”) and has created his own reality, and he’s not going to like it if his enablers suddenly stop supporting his fantasy. The question is whether he has enough power to be a threat on his own.
I’d be interested in knowing whose idea it was to suddenly “order” Congress to have a joint session; was it something that floated across Barry’s Magic 8 Ball of a mind and which he did personally, or was it a serious miscalculation by his handlers?
