...Obama took a stroll. In public. And talked to people.
Washington Post ^ | 5/22/14 | KATIE ZEZIMA

...."It's good to be out," he said as he strolled across the Ellipse, suit jacket tossed over his shoulder. "The bear is loose."...

He also ran into a very excited woman named Karen.

"Oh my gosh, this is like the best day of my life," Karen said. She then posed for a photo with Obama.

That was my first thought as well. We’ve seen this movie before.

A stroll like this is a psychological coping mechanism. He’s walking away from the box he’s in, if even for a while to get out from under the mounting pressures and complexities of his problems. Its only a brief, momentary escape.

But the hard reality is he can’t run away. Deep down, he’s also looking to come across someone who will give him some sympathy. Like Nixon, Obama is cornered and he is feeling the heat.

He knows quite well that any more bad news (e.g., another scandal, another exposed lie, another diplomatic blunder, an economic setback, a sudden drop in the stock market, etc.) might be the last straw for him and his party.

The country is tiring of this president. Voter fatigue is setting in for sure.

Slick Willie took a stroll on Normandy Beach, found a collection of stones, rearranged them into a (now un-nameable) religious symbol for a photo op.

Once again, its always about him. He’s such a narcissist, and those types of people don’t deal well with setbacks and failure. Obama is on the verge of a psychological meltdown IMO.

It’s unusual for him to take a walk? No, it would be UNUSUAL if he were in the WH working.

The public who don’t really feel for the vets even, are bound to act like they do

This arrogant maltreatment of the vets is likely so much worse than we are imagining. And will possibly turn out to be more deliberate than libs are hoping. When shinseki gleefully packs his belongings, an exposed will come in and find out

Even if it’s, and it likely will be, under a conservative in 2017

Obama cannot deal with not being adored. He wants to take his stuff and go home. But that’s not the game And his voters will blame him. They won’t blame themselves for hoping unreasonably for a messiah. They’ll try to push another fake leader. They don’t work

The republicans voted in Nixon. They didn’t realize, as all Bo’s supporters did, that Nixon was a poseur. But these people, they’ll act surprised and victimized by whoever it is stylish to blame, tea party, shinseki, repubs, BO himself, but never their poor judgement and ignorance of the constitutional principals

Oh well, it’s not as if Romney was opposition

God has a way of letting bad things happen and making good come out of it. No way to know if that’s the case here, but our vets have helped us out of a lot of jams

And this deal, which converge as with the fiasco, and blight of single payer is far reaching

BO has no friends to call on to go in and fix this for him. The dems have turned their focus on 2016 and H! Who has her own takeaway from this. She’ll be watching gleefully

Never forget she loathes the military.

You’re giving him way too much credit. President Jarrett told him to do this and told the media to cover it to show him hanging out with the peasants like a real human.

This had to be staged;borne out by the fact that he is still around to talk about it.
