Obama Really Doesn't Like People
The American Thinker ^ | 11-19-15 | Ed Lasky

Posted on 11/19/2015 5:51:06 AM PST by afraidfortherepublic

A comment made by one of President Obama’s closest aides explains his blasé attitude toward the lives of Americans. In late 2012, Neera Tanden, who had been one of President Obama’s closest aides, observed:

Clinton, being Clinton, had plenty of advice in mind and was desperate to impart it. But for the first two years of Obama’s term, the phone calls Clinton kept expecting rarely came. “People say the reason Obama wouldn’t call Clinton is because he doesn’t like him,” observes Tanden. “The truth is, Obama doesn’t call anyone, and he’s not close to almost anyone. It’s stunning that he’s in politics, because he really doesn’t like people.

Barack Obama had been warned that leaving Iraq without a residual American force could lead to genocide. When questioned about this risk, he complacently answered that preventing genocide was not a good enough reason to have troops in Iraq .

Barack Obama’s coldness towards Americans -- and others, for that matter -- was obvious before 2012.

Barack Obama has long had an Empathy Deficit, as I wrote in 2010. He easily and coldly boasted he would destroy the coal industry and kill thousands of jobs with the aplomb of Chairman Mao and Josef Stalin reengineering their societies. The jobs that were promised after passage of the trillion-dollar stimulus plan never materialized because as Barack Obama jocularly put it two years later “shovel-ready was not as shovel ready as we expected.” When Texas was hit with devastating forest fires, Obama was cracking jokes at a California fundraiser, “You’ve got a governor whose state is on fire denying climate change.” He has articulated his contempt for so called everyday Americans many times (see my 2012 column, What Obama Thinks of Americans and my 2014 column, Obama Thinks You Are Stupid, That’s Why)

I don’t really like Obama. For me, “don’t like” is too mild a term to express my feelings. For that matter, “Despise” is too mild a term to express my feelings toward him.

Why the surprise? Thousands of people warned us in 2007, including Jonah Goldberg and author Kylie Schiver:

Read 100% accurate prediction here based on history:

“Barrack Obama, The Quintessential Fascist.”

http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html

Obama is a “psychopomp”, a harbinger of death and destruction who has caused the useless deaths of millions of people, much of it genocidal.He thrives in darkness and secrecy , abhorring the light. We must prevent Obama from twisting America further with his sadistic Utopian fascism.

Good for him that the media gives him a lifetime pass. Only people who can read between the lines realize the damage he is doing.

No, it’s white folks that he doesn’t like. And perhaps Asians.

Few people could set off my late husband, Dr.O., like the sociopathic, Muslim Marxist Barack Obama.

I read all the comments at the link and some made me smile: (I sometimes like arm-chair shrinks ... lol) I didn't necessarily post those I found amusing.


In my opinion, there is a strong possibility that America's president is a psychopath.

Nothing he says or does is in keeping with the duties and responsibilities of the office he holds. He speaks condescendingly at all times and glares malevolently at critics and criticism. He scoffs at the law, and he mocks those who reasonably request that he follow it. He lies without compunction, including directly to the families of Americans who have died in service of their country about why they died and who is responsible. He incites racial unrest, and condones Islamic terrorists.

He was never politically vetted. His transcripts remain sealed, his associations with Billie Ayers, the Rearend Wright, Tony Rezko and numerous other assorted ner-do-wells were and remain simply ignored. His regime is loaded with the corrupt and the incompetent, many condoned by Congressional approval.

Then there are those eyes. Cold, dead, reptilian. If the eyes are windows to the soul, Rspect's show only empty darkness

The "historic" presidency is in fact a great tragedy. The only unknown is the magnitude of the tragedy. A tragedy deliberately orchestrated by Barack Hussein Rspect and his handlers, the sycophant media and academia, and aided and abetted by a congress that simply refuses to do its duty and remove him from office, if not for the multiple high crimes and misdemeanors, then for reasons of mental issues making him unfit to serve.

If not a psychopath, certainly a sociopath- - - one who has no regard for other people and does not empathize with their suffering. The character traits of sociopaths are vanity, arrogance, an absolute faith in their own intelligence being greater than most other people's, and a lack of interest in the opinions of others. They can be engaging when they have to be but are most often aloof.

Seem how many of these criteria for sociopathy fit our current "commander" in chief:

According to ICD-10 criteria, presence of 3 or more of the following qualifies for the diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder (~sociopathy):

Callous unconcern for the feelings of others.

Gross and persistent attitude of irresponsibility and disregard for social norms, and obligations.

Incapacity to maintain enduring relationships, though having no difficulty in establishing them.

Very low tolerance to frustration, a low threshold for discharge of aggression, including violence.

Incapacity to experience guilt or to profit from experience, particularly punishment.

Markedly prone to blame others or to offer plausible rationalization for the behavior that has brought the person into conflict with society.

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM IV-TR) is another widely used tool for the diagnosis and it defines sociopath traits as......
(A) Pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others occurring since age 15 years, as indicated by three or more of the following:

Failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest

Deception, as indicated by repeatedly lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure

Impulsiveness or failure to plan ahead

Irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults

Reckless disregard for safety of self or others

Consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations

Lack of remorse as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another

Let's look back further. While in the Illinois Senate, Obama was noted for his mere 'Presence'. However, one issue was dear to his heart---the Illinois version of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act. He spoke vociferously against the protection of babies that survived abortion. He repeatedly voted againt such protection. He wanted those babies dead, period.

To be sure, he cloaked his murderousness in 'womens rights to decide' but he showed his bloody hand early on, but hardly anyone looked to see what a monster's paw looked like. Certainly, the Democrats did not care about it. They deliberately chose to foist this ghastly thing upon the country, keep him in place, support his every word and deed---even to the point of hailing him as a god. This is Obama.

Ann Barnhardt’s last video? Does that mean her most recent, or she will make no more?

Good question. I really don't know, but it sounds like she won't make any more. Otherwise it would just be her "latest" video.

“He is in love with himself.”

I think the opposite. I believe he does not like himself much at all.

He had a broken early childhood abandoned by fathers, confused middle childhood into teens raised by leftist white grandparents, was abandoned by his leftist mom who then died, tried discovering himself in college, and got indoctrinated and used instead.

He then got seduced by attention and acclaim by the left, primarily for reading aloud with his good vocal cords.

But, he doesn’t know who or what HE really is. He is a tragic character in the end.

The article does a great job outlining what a pathological narcissist looks like. Other lives don't matter to him because, to him, they're not really lives. To the narcissist, other people are not human beings they're objects to be manipulated for the narcissist's benefit/pleasure. It's the reason Obama handled Danny Pearl's or James Foley's deaths the way he did. To Obama, they were merely inconvenient events in his manipulation of the objects in his universe, just bumps in the road.
