A very perceptive take on our first Halfrican-American Prez by AmericanInTokyo
In any setting, corporate, government, even social, when a person feels the need to constantly explain her/himself, they are expressing profound insecurity. A hero, a champion, a top performer simply preforms. There is no need for explanation because the results are apparent.
What we have from the man-child is an incessant need to explain to the public why he is so great and why what he has done so far has worked. If you have to explain it, then you have already lost.
Corollaries to Obama’s childish antics:
He argues constantly that his policies have worked and on the other hand, sometimes in the same sentence, he blames Bush or Republican or both for his policies not working.
He does not say plainly what he has done. He pleads. He begs you to believe him. This is a typical sign of a lie. If I ask where were you yesterday and you say, I was at the Mall. Ok That is the end of it. However, if you say, I was at the Mall. Really I was. I promise. I was there really. Then I have my doubts. If you have to ‘sell’ rather than ‘state’ a situation then there is a problem.
This is why he is never working. He is afraid of his job. Like an irresponsible child, he runs to what makes him ‘feel good’. In this case that would be carefully chosen adoring crowds and a fawning media. When he is at work, no matter who is in the room with him, no matter what the issue at hand, he is always the least qualified person in the room. Although his arrogance covers most of this, it eats at him. Eventually he needs another dose of adulation which he uses as a balm for his fragile and frightened ego.
Furthermore, when he is missing meetings and work while on a self-imposed junket across the nation, he gives himself, subliminally, an excuse for not attending all those meetings which intimidate him so much. Essentially, he is ‘running away’ in a very real sense. So no matter what decision is made, if the outcome is negative, he can always claim, I was out of town when they did that.
Obviously, in big-boy world this strategy can never work. But Obama has the mentality of a child and does not know that. In the end, he will be yelling, Why is everyone blaming me!? I was out of town when that happened.
Obama is a child. Eventually, we are all going to pay, Republican and Democrat, for putting this inexperienced, lazy, unqualified, rookie in charge of our country.
This view is interesting, but Zer0’s antics could be just as easily explained as the motions of a puppet.
THat is/was a great post. He’s so freaking obvious to anyone with a shred of common sense or seen some useless person promoted beyond their capacity in a business setting. THis is exactly how they act.
Clueless electorate + complicit media = loser for four years (unless impeached)
