The Abuser in Chief (Good piece by Lasky)
American Thinker ^ | November 15, 2011 | Ed Lasky

Calling America "lazy" last weekend was only the latest and broadest insult from President Obama. America has become accustomed to Obama's lashing out at entire groups of people. What has been all too little appreciated is his seeming delight in bullying, if not demeaning, individuals face-to-face. He is protected from angry responses not just by the Secret Service, but by the reverence his victims have for the office he holds.

This is a level of respect for the institution of the presidency that Obama does not share or hold dear. For him, the bully pulpit has taken an entirely different -- and disgraceful -- meaning from the one given to it by Teddy Roosevelt. What does it say about Barack Obama that he indulges in personal insults? What does this mean for America?

Barack Obama first rose to national prominence when he gave his speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. The soaring rhetoric -- there is no white America; there is no black America; there is no blue America or red America; there is the United States of America -- established him as a person who could warm our hearts with promises of unity and not division. He seemed ever so likeable.

But the façade soon slipped when we began to hear the real Barack Obama -- not the one reading so well from the teleprompter that fateful night in Boston. The pose could last for only so long.

The mask began to slip, of course, way back in April 2008, when we learned how Obama really felt about small-town Americans:

At an early age he watched "South Pacific"..."you've got to be carefully taught..." and thought it was directed toward himself...

His lazy American comment is going to make a great campaign commercial for us.

Do you think the GOP will use it? Might offend someone's sense of "fairness."

Wow, great catch. I’d forgotten all about that song. It really fits.

All of the GOP and ALL of the independents who aren’t brain dead should mass together to defeat this impudent little weasel the MSM and the dems have foisted on us.

Our very lives may well depend on it.

I usually abhor armchair shrinks, but I've always wondered if he has a lot of anger under the surface from his mom leaving him in Hawaii with his grandparents while she traveled the world.

He's just a typical liberal skunk who never learned to hide his disdain for everyone who disagrees with him. Liberals like him are always quick to turn to derision of their adversaries because that's all they have. They can't have honest heartfelt debate because their positions are full of lies and deceit. I've known a lot of liberals who do the exact same thing when they are defeated with facts.

In my opinion it's really not much deeper then that.

Paul Johnson’s book, called “Intellectuals,” explains how narcissistic men get people to fawn over them by treating them abysmally and behaving like he is king. These men are also generally sexually promiscuous. For example, Rousseau Marx, and Sartre.
