Wow—you have a really nice blog! (I couldn’t resist paying it a visit; I plan to go back! There’s a lot of good stuff there. :) You made me glad I don’t have Rush-24-7; if I had the option of watching as well as listening, my productivity would plummet. ;)
Anyway, back to the issue of Obama’s instability and his handlers’ nightmare. You put your finger on it when it comes to press conferences. As the state of the union worsens, even the sycophant press is going to be obliged to ask a semi-serious question once in a while. This really is the handlers’ nightmare, because malignant narcissists don’t handle any form of criticism well on a good day. The longer Obama is ‘trapped’ in a job he’s not enjoying nearly as much as he anticipated, the fewer good days he’ll have. The things he could blurt out on a bad day must keep the powers behind the throne awake at night.
If you look at Obama’s work history, you see that not only did he rarely apply himself: he never stayed in any one position more than a couple of years. He has a harder time conforming to any kind of expectation and/or constraint than even the average narcissist. This guy is getting antsier by the day, and you can see it in his increasingly reckless pursuit of diversion. His craving for five hr golf outings, for instance, has long gone past the point of anything that could be considered semi-normal for a POTUS.
Things can only get worse from here. Obama is destroying the economy, and that alone will keep his poll numbers sinking. The lower they go, the more erratically this starving (for wholesale adulation) narcissist will behave. What a mess!

Thanks for the blog compliment.
On to your assertion about him getting worse. He certainly will.
All he has ever done is give speeches about what he will do. Having never really done anything it is all speculation of “hope and change” that is what he did as a “community organizer”. Stir up people and pump them up to do something.
But when he finally gets what he wanted and has the power of the entire congress behind him and implements these pie in the sky dreams everything falls flat.
He has never been questioned by anyone because he has never been responsible before. Even in the senate he voted present so he never faced any repercussions for his decisions. Now he has had 2 years to do what ever he wants with a majority of congress who gave him everything he wanted. It tanks .. he can’t handle the fact that he didn’t know as much as he thought he did. he doubles down figuring his entire life of vast knowledge .. pumping people up and never being called on anything .. well he can’t be wrong in his own eyes. he has always been the one to go so far he thought. Always had a better solution.
Now .. what can he do? You have never heard him take the rap for anything without first blaming someone and summarizing with blaming someone else. It is always some one else who is to blame. God knows if you watch youtube at a speech where the teleprompter went down or he was giving an unscripted unrehearsed and uncontrolled question answer session he is all “ummm .. errr .. ahh .. well .. the thing is .. is is is is .. the thing is ... well hold on I’m getting to it .... I think .. err .. emmm ...”
Now imagine him getting hammered for his own antics and the fact that his policy is doing more harm than good. he can only go back to “campaign mode” the MSM is over it, the party is over and if he starts that they can’t cover for him anymore. he will get angry. His latest “Give me a break I am trying to eat shrimp” is an example of that.
he couldn’t answer without a script, didn’t want to discuss his failures, no one to spin for him and the things may have gotten nasty for him. he knows it .. but soon .. very soon, while he is out campaigning for his rats he will get stuck. I will bet any money on it that he will get drawn in at a fund raiser or political stump for someone and they will have him sucked in and it will go bad.
He will have a melt down. I for one am gonna love it. I just hope he doesn’t commit us to something that we can’t handle.
