The President's remarks reveal he's reached new heights in psychological maturity

masterful speech at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) revealed more than his growing comfort with his own power and with the gravitas of leading the most powerful nation on earth. Moving him forcefully into the center stage of world diplomacy without relinquishing his familiar message of bipartisanship, responsibility, and a never-ending quest to improve the lot of nations, Obama’s speech was the latest in a series of behaviors that revealed a kind of psychological maturity not seen on a presidential level in recent memory.

In an interview with Jeffrey Goldberg published in the Atlantic two days before the speech, Obama revealed an attitude that only someone feeling powerful and confident could hold, dismissing war as a distraction: “At a time when there is not a lot of sympathy for Iran and its only real ally [Syria] is on the ropes,” he said, “do we want a distraction in which suddenly Iran can portray itself as a victim?” Obama’s ability to put “war talk” in its place was not only a harbinger of his AIPAC speech but also showed his clear appreciation of the literal power of language. At AIPAC, he used words as genuine weapons to confront Israel (and some American Republicans) about the danger of loose talk – almost scolding them. He asserted Presidential power in new ways, not just by urging people to search for common ground, but by setting limits.

Baloney from a brainwashed Obama supporter. Time mag. What did you expect? The truth?

Partisan Shill ping. This shill authored “Bush On The Couch” and now “Obama On The Couch”. Amazing how many stunning psychological differences can be discerned without meeting someone, strictly based only on the public actions of two politicians, added to the factual past known about one and the largely obscure or fictionalized past of the other.

Thanks SJackson.

This posted article is worth as many barfies as an article can possibly receive.

How much did Dr. Frank "earn" from the Obama campaign or its PACs or any of the Soros-funded leftist groups (J Street, perhaps) for doing this overtly biased "psychiatric profile"?

Kind of reminds me of the old Soviet staple of interjecting psychiatry into each and every issue of public policy: people who endorsed the official government position were always psychciatrically "normal" or even "super-normal," while those opposed were mentally ill and liable to be sent for "treatment" from which they sometimes never returned.
