Self-pity is never admirable in a public figure, but it seems to be Obamas default emotion when the going gets tough. Because everything is about him, the whole world is personal.
He is a victim of a vast conspiracy that includes everything from global upheaval to a domestic mood going from simmer to boil. If only everybody would just shut up and do what he says, all would be well.
Alas, Obama is right about one thing. His presidency and the country are at a crossroads. The problem is that his response woe is me means things almost certainly will get worse before they get better.
With polls showing most Americans dont like his policies, dont see him as honest and dont believe he can lead effectively, were long past the point where the wheels come off, or even the moment where the car ends up in the ditch.
Something approaching a national crack-up now appears inevitable. Recent events suggest it is coming sooner rather than later.
The creation of a new terrorist state out of parts of Syria and Iraq makes attacks on our allies and homeland more likely. Without doubt, Obamas lack of credibility with friend and foe alike guarantees years of disorder.

It was like that from the start. Right up until his election, liberals said he was going to solve all the world’s problems. Gas prices would go down, employment rates would go up, the economy would be popping butterflies and rainbows for free. Then as soon after, he was saying “Sorry folks, it’s all going to get worse. What can I do? I’m helpless here, I have no power”. And all the liberals supported him and said “It’s Bush’s fault anyway”. Pathetic.
Ahh. Ruiz. Great book. Required reading for Tony Robbins followers.

The spoiled child syndrome is characterized by excessive self-centered and immature behavior, resulting from the failure of parents to enforce consistent, age-appropriate limits. Spoiled children display a lack of consideration for others, demand to have their own way, have difficulty delaying gratification, and are prone to temper outbursts. Their behavior is intrusive, obstructive, and manipulative. They are difficult to satisfy and do not remain satisfied long. They are unpleasant to be around, even for those who love them.
My take on it is the press let the administration get away with lying early on in his presidency and it just embolden them to lie even more. Now that all the lies have been exposed, they have lost all credibility and will never get it back.
There are a few possibilibties: Obama is either too stupid, too narcisstic, too vengeful or complicit in what will be the horrific consequences to world civilization if the ISIS cancer spreads.
I pick “complicit.”
Cue the old Charlie Brown song - “Why’s Everybody Always Pickin’ on Me?”.
“I’m sorry, Barry! I didn’t mean to be disrespectful or not do what you want! Don’t hit me anymore! I’ll be good! Bwaaaaahhhhaaaaaa!”

Whiner in chief!
I have no use for Boehner. He's a worthless RINO. I hope he quits after the election and we get a Speaker with some balls in there.
The House has the power of the purse. I wish they'd use it. At least stop nobama and the wookie from taking more multimillion dollar vacations on the backs of the taxpayers.
There's a lot more the House could do to stop nobama's drive to turn the USA into a turd world country. But they don't have the balls to do it.
When Obama is down on himself, he’s being racist!
U.S. presidents are so powerful, they can do anything they want. Ronald Reagan wanted to win the Cold War and return America to prosperity, and he succeeded. Bill Clinton wanted to spend his presidency indulging his appetite for young women, partying, fund-raising, and basking in the fawning attention of the media.
Obama seems to want most of the same things Bill Clinton wanted, with the addition of the golf schedule of a retiree. However, unlike Obama, Bill Clinton was intelligent enough to end his foray into socialized medicine, HillaryCare, when he realized it wouldn’t work and would become a political liability.
Bill Clinton also had the good sense to allow Newt Gingrinch to proceed with his Conservative economic policies, such as tax cuts and welfare reform, which brought prosperity during his administration.
And Bill Clinton also had the good fortune to have his presidency end before his fatal eight-year neglect of the rise of jihadi terrorism culminated in the 9/11 attacks.
So where does that leave Obama?
If Al Gore had been elected in 2000, he would not have invaded Afghanistan after 9/11, or stayed there long enough to keep al Qaeda in check, so that what’s happening in the Middle East today with ISIS and other al Qaeda affiliates beheading their way from Lebanon to Iraq would have occurred much sooner under Al Gore instead of now under Obama.
If Al Gore had been elected in 2000, the 2007 collapse of our banking system and its destructive economic consequences would have happened much sooner, since Al Gore and the Democrats had blatantly corrupt relationships with Fannie Mae, the housing industry, and Wall Street, which President Gore would have indulged to cause a much sooner breaking point.
Unfortunately for Obama, George Bush was only able to contain Fannie Mae, etc., until 2007, when Democrats like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd took over the Banking Committees in Congress and, to help their cronies, refused to respond to numerous warnings to make needed reforms to Fannie, Wall Street, and the housing industry.
So Obama was left to pick up the pieces, and he made a huge mistake by adopting liberal, Keynesian stimulus policies that never work, while adding trillions to our national debt.
And if Al Gore had won the election in 2000, he would have been pressured by the Democratic left into adopting a socialized medicine system, and GoreCare would have destroyed our health care system long before Obama could have destroyed it with ObamaCare and gotten blamed for it.
So there stands Obama, wringing his hands and pouting. He was elected to destroy George Bush’s policies, which had contained al Qaeda, maintained good relations with Russia and the rest of the world, and brought prosperity to America until the 2007 Democratic Congress threw a monkey wrench into his efforts. No wonder Obama is in such a sorry state.
Awright you guys. Keep the secret. Don’t let out that you know that Barack Obama has bad body odor and wears adult diapers. If he suspects everyone knows, he could become positively morose.
