Obama’s horrifyingly bad speech

He was a half hour late. His head turned from side to side as if he were attending a tennis match. He practically never looked in the camera, as if he were averting our gaze. And those were the strong parts of President Obama

Tell me one good reason to believe the DOW will not drop below its March 2, 2009 bottom of 6626. I certainly can’t think of a single reason. Don’t ask me to say when, I don’t know but I have a feeling it could be much sooner than almost anyone imagines.

Yet I work daily with people who think this Kenyan Commie is a Messiah. Makes me want to throw up. They complain to the boss if I remind them how is an utter moron.

Glad to see I'm not alone in that workplace scenario. It's tougher than most people think working with Obamanites. And they always get mad when you respond with the facts.

“Liberal establishment is gearing up to support a primary run by a Democrat.”

The last time a sitting Democrat president was not nominated for a second term we were rewarded with Tricky Dick, the first and only president to resign the office. I hope we don’t have anything resembling that to happen again.

Apparently we have not met before, I have expressed my willingness to believe exactly that on more than one occasion on FR. I think he would be accomplishing even more deliberate evil if he were not the perfect definition of incompetence.

Apparently, this writer does not know about the tele-prompter. <\I>

Totus has 'his/it's own celebrity by now. Think she is simply being a good writer by her subtle reminding to all by visual only - including Obama - just how stupid and inauthentic he looks, by his still being dependent on his dual screens. Impatient in my wanting . . .waiting; for someone to silence these 'voices' in a most critical commnunication from Obama. ( No question, there would be a 'head-offing '. In a matter of speaking, of course...)

Yes, but the drugs were for pain, not depression. Or, at least, not because of a need to keep him from having a break down over the loss of support and being exposed as a fraud. JFK had no self image problem, he knew who he was, had life long friends, and had a large, supportive family.

Obama is thin-skinned, has always felt like a misfit. There has been no large, loving family surrounding him. According to stories about his past, there seem to be no long term friends either. And he does not seem to have any friends in his life now other than those who are connected through politics or who have befriended him for the purpose of using or pushing him in the political arena. As sad as that might be, it has been devastating for our country to have someone in the WH who is so removed from normal relationships and who is emotionally unstable.

It is no wonder that when he stands before the country in time of national trials, crisis, and disasters he cannot "connect" with the peoples' pain and truly empathize. He is devoid of the ability to understand feelings. A classic narcissist who has only been a flat reflection of what he thinks people want and who has been totally dependent on his well practiced skill for hoodwinking an audience and then bask in their stupefied adoration.

Anyone notice if they made his hair grayer today than it was on Friday? Or was it a day for the darker hair color for The Emperor?

He's not allowed to dye his hair during Ramadan.

Oh, the Ramadan restrictions, forgot about that!

I guess he is still allowed to campaign non-stop though.

And lying to Infidels is always encouraged.

Oh I agree with you, don’t get me wrong. I was really just thinking that it didn’t end well the first time, and God alone knows what will happen this time.

My understanding was that JFK was well and truly hooked to the hilt on all the drugs, though he certainly had a legit medical need for at least some of them. Obama is probably hooked on something as well and shows the signs of serious substance consumption, if not outright addiction, though for different reasons.

IMO his handlers are medicating him up good as well. I think he’s getting pretty darn close to a real honest to goodness nervous breakdown. Serious one.

Yup. There are rumors flying about big money Dems behind the scenes that have had enough. True or not that’s gotta worry him/his handlers. There are many Dems not on board with the Obama agenda and they just took one hell of a financial hit. Then as this crisis deepens, the calls for impeachment will only grow, while more libs abandon him.

I can easily see him losing it and ordering the military to do something so insane the congress has to Article 25 him.

If the big-money Dems have been with Zero until today, then I guess they missed his speech when he said that there comes a point when you have enough money.

Now they'll find out that their glorious leader wasn't just talking about a specific dollar amount for individuals. Rather, what he really meant was, the USA has been a very wealthy country, has enough money, and now it is time to fundamentally change that....

Wash/Po article: Obama’s predicament — devoid of ideas, bitter about political opposition, completely in over his head."

......and mentally ill......

Obama manifests elements of schizophrenia--a mental disorder that makes it difficult to tell the difference between real and unreal experiences, to think logically, to have normal emotional responses.

The symptoms are all there:

(1) The urge to hurt someone (manifested by conducting FBI surveillance on innocent conservatives).

(2) Feeling hopeless or overwhelmed coupled with the urge to escape (numerous vacations and golf outings).

(3) Seeing things that aren't really there (bedeviled by thoughts of a vengeful Tea Party).

(4) Obsessing about phantom enemies (continually blaming GW Bush for a failed economy).

(5) Feeling he cannot leave the White House (the urge to raise a billion dollars to get reelected).

(6) Being unable to care for himself (financing ACORN, La Raza and other subversive groups as his private militia).

POSTED FOR YOUR INFINITE PLEASURE A year into the Obama presidency, Financial Times DC Bureau Chief Edward Luce wrote an account about the insiders who hold the keys to ObamaLand's inner most sanctum -- Rahm Emanuel, Robert Gibbs, Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod.

Luce wrote: "At a crucial stage in the 2007 Democratic primaries, Obama rejuvenated his campaign with a barnstorming speech, which ended on a promise of what his victory would produce: "A nation healed. A world repaired. An America that believes again."

Just over a year into his tenure, America's 44th president governs a bitterly divided nation, a world increasingly hard to manage and an America that seems more disillusioned than ever with Washington's ways. What went wrong? "

"Americans are too stupid to understand how smart you are."

========================================

When he gets kicked out of office, Americans will look back on the short-lived Obama Era as the Age of The Misfit. He promulgated cockeyed policies---not to confirm and advance the stability of a world-class culture.

Obamae catered to the Third World, to dictators, terrorists, tyrants------to every misfit on the planet.

You are right. I sometimes wonder how many of our politicians are hooked on something. Certainly we have seen that many have had trouble on moral issues. I would not be surprised that drugs are a large part of the lives of many in DC.

LBJ was not challenged in the primary. He just didn't run. The last time a sitting Democrat President was challenged in the primary, he then lost to one Ronald Wilson Reagan.
