Right and left finally agree: Obama has checked out
Market Watch, The Wall Street Journal ^ | July 16, 2014 | Darrell Delamaide

It’s one thing if hardened critics like Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly ask whether the Obama presidency is “imploding,...”

Or if Republican lobbyist Ed Rogers says Obama “seems to have taken something like an early retirement,”…..[his]recent speeches reveal “a state of mind that suggests he has checked out.”

It is another, however, if the chief U.S. commentator for the Financial Times, Edward Luce, takes Obama to task, as he did this week, in an op-ed titled “Farewell to trust: Obama’s Germany syndrome.”

Luce takes the flap over the CIA spying on an ally like Germany as symptomatic of an administration that has lost the trust of the public both at home and abroad.

Sun Tsu would be dissapointed in us if we really believed obama has checked out. He would criticize us for underestimating obama.

Never underestimate the enemy.

L4B is a drug addled degenerate fraud. The puppet masters put him in the Lie House with every intention of using his time there to end the American We The People Republic. In their eyes, the degenerate is a raving success.

When MSNBC anchor Mika Brzezinski interviewed Obama last month on the subject of Iraq, network commentator Donny Deutsch, an avowed Democrat, said, “I’ve never seen a less-engaged look in his eyes.”
Deutsch added: “He almost seemed — I don’t want to say checked-out because that is not the right thing

this is eerily similar to what Perry had to say of Zero when he met with him just the other day

“Generally, he never did anything longer than 3 years”
“I read somewhere (here?) that that’s a sign of narcissism.”

I’ve worked with plenty of grifters who talk their way into executive positions they’re not qualified for, stay a few months, then ease on down the road before they get exposed. Obama has no other job to escape to, so he’s stuck.

Also, one of the conservative radio commentators made an excellent point this week about the majority of lottery winners who burn out and go bust within about five years. I think that’s a valid comparison, as well.

When people are advanced repeatedly through affirmative action by being rewarded not for what they do or have done but simply for the sake of “diversity” as a consequence they sometimes come to believe that their doing nothing is actually doing something. It becomes a persistent delusion. Their own words speak to them louder than actions.

Exactly and he knows nothing will happen no matter what he does. It’s not like he can be arrested or impeached or run for another term. He is fear-less. I just wish, just once, someone would do something to make this man crap his pants-someone who has the “goods” on him, someone who can outsmart his “handlers”, someone to be one step ahead of him.

But he has black-mailed anyone who would be able to take him down. He has the IRS, FBI, CIA in his pocket willing do go after Americans. He rules with a middle finger and makes a joke out of all the chaos he has caused...and will cause...in the next years to come.

You are exactly right on all points. He is becoming more obstinate and determined by the day.

All the people in the position to do something to stop this evil thug must have been threatened (along with their families).

I see the republicans making noises but they don’t dare cross the line.

If this keeps up, Rush, Levine, D’Souza (sp) et. al. will all “decide” to retire, conservative social media will be shut down, etc.

I used to think it was possible to se an American Pinochet but now I don’t see that.
