PRUDEN: The insults were only for America
Washington Times ^ | April 21, 2009 | Wesley Pruden

Posted on 04/21/2009 7:41:05 AM PDT by La Lydia

The president's critics ought to lighten up. We should give him credit for not knowing any better. (He was "finished" and "polished" at Harvard, after all.) Barack Obama is an accident of history, a street hustler from the South Side of Chicago with the gift of gab who landed on the world stage like a whale beached at the whim of a storm, the wrong man at the right time...The masses...eagerly stepped forward to take the pledge of the cult.

This wouldn't be one of Dr. Freud's difficult cases. He was born to a mother obsessed with the pursuit of inappropriate men who would treat her badly, abandoned by his father from Kenya, uprooted again from life with a stepfather in Indonesia and ultimately raised by a grandmother he would later publicly scold for her presumed racial bigotry. Why wouldn't he feverishly pursue sanction and esteem, however mindless much of it would be, wherever he could find it?

Only a man with a screwed-up psyche...would fly off to foreign shores to campaign against his predecessor and to offer abject apologies to anyone listening for the harm he imagines his country did to others, while carefully excluding himself from any of the criticism.

All for the embrace...of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez, of Evo Morales and Danny Ortega. Most of us would say, "insult my country, dude, and you're insulting me, so back off." But this is the kind of fierce pride in home, kith and kin that Barack Obama never knew; he even married a woman who said she never felt love of country until her husband reached the front gate of the White House....

You just have to wonder how low he is going to sink before people catch on. This is a devastating analysis.

I remember when we use to refer to the President of the United States as POTUS. Now I just refer to him as POS.

If & when people catch on, it won’t ever be because of even treatment by the MSM. They’ll go down with him.

I love this man so much. I ought to offer to cut his grass or change his oil. OK, maybe not. But I do cherish his columns.

I can't argue with the analysis, but it is annoying that nobody ever mentions the grandfather. In the book, Obama's grandfather (his real grandfather, the one who sacrificed his retirement years to raise him) is ridiculed almost every time he is mentioned. Obama's treatment of his grandfather is just awful.

It is not that hard to figure Barry out. Remember when Rev Wright dissed America for years while Barry sat there and did not utter a word?

He even got up to defend the man he ‘could no more disown than his racist grandmother’. That did not last long though, because when Rev Jeremiah started dissing on Obama himself, then Barry got angry and threw him under the bus. You see, as long as people diss the country Barry himself doesn’t like, it is ok, but if/when they start hating on Obama himself, well then he gets angry............

I have identified what he is infected with, it is NPD........Narcissistic personality disorder

From Wikipedia.............

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a personality disorder defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the diagnostic classification system used in the United States, as “a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and a lack of empathy.”

Fits the Messiah to a tee.........You see him smiling and laughing while his fellow citizens lose their jobs. He flies in pizzas from St Louis, his wife has a full time make up artist now. $100 lb Waygu beef for his wednesday parties, flies back to Chicago to take his wife out for dinner on Valentines Day. Nothing is too good for him, it all fits the NPD he is inflicted with.

The Obama Kneepad Tour ‘09 just keeps on giving. He is indeed a thug from the Chicago streets. Now he has buddied up with the Latin American thugocracy. Go BO go.

His supporters will never catch on, and if they do they won’t care. Many voters don’t even know who the VP is - and their votes count as much as ours (more, when they vote 2 or 3 times).
These voters will understand what’s happened only when they begin to suffer the consequences.
The moderates, though, should start to comprehend any day now. :)

I agree that this analysis was spot on. An excellent column by Pruden.

Isn’t it pretty stunning that something like this (correct in every detail) is being written by an American about the president of this country in office for only 3 months.

He is really that transparent...and that screwed up.

Ouch! As I’ve said before, Obama is just Al Sharpton with a degree from Harvard.
