Note: I wrote this in reply to a question posed in the Delphi “Bully Pulpit” forum, a political discussion board which can be found in the Internet Resources list in the right column of this page, and which I frequent.
The Question was;
“Why is Obama failing so Badly?”
My reply;
He is arrogant in the extreme.
He is narcissistic in the extreme.
He is an ideologue in the extreme.
He is a racist.
He treats the Office of the Presidency as if he has been given a turn at kingship.
He treats it as if it is a position from which to ‘fundamentally change’ America to suit HIS ideology, rather than as a stewardship of America’s Constitution, and the ideology that founded Her and has made Her great.
His youth was spent being indoctrinated to the “virtues” of Socialist/Communist forms of government, and to despise, distrust, and possibly even hate the ‘white’ race.
He has spent his adult years, both in his professional and personal life, sequestered with people which agree with and reinforce the beliefs he acquired as a youth.
He has been groomed, and groomed himself, to engage in politics as a means of furthering his ideology.
His narcissism, whether a native aspect of his character, or instilled in him by the grooming and preparation for political life by those around him, has become a palpable, if not an overriding aspect of his ‘id’.
To a large degree his success[being elected President] AND failures are the result of timing.
He achieved success largely because he was tapped to run for the Presidency at a point in time when America was ready to elect a Black as President….both because racism for most Americans is no longer an appreciable issue…and because a fair number of Americans are suffering from guilt rooted in ‘The Sins of Our Fathers’, and are eager, if not desperate, to assuage that guilt.
His failure is partly, if not largely, the result of having been tapped to run at a point in time when much, if not a large majority, of Democrats that hold National Office are almost or just as far to the left as he is, happened to hold a ‘super Majority’ in Congress, and so are willing to suffer the slings and arrows of the American people in order to get their agenda through while they have a President who they know will not VETO their assault on American principles of Capitalism and the Free Market.
Another reason for much of his failure is that in his arrogance and narcissism, and due to his exposure to and association only with others of his ilk throughout his life, he actually and honestly assumed that a majority of Americans share his political ideology, and would welcome his agenda with open arms, and that his “gift”(his own word), would give him the power to win over the few who did not agree with him.
He came into office expecting his every desire to be handed to him on a silver platter.
Instead he has met unprecedented resistance from America at every turn.
This frustrates him, confuses him, and angers him.
This is displayed almost every time he opens his mouth without a teleprompter in his face…which is also when his racism shows on occasion.
He does not like America…We the People do.
He does not like Capitalism and Free Enterprise…We the People do
He considers the U.S. Constitution a “Charter of negative liberties”…We the People Do Not.
He believes in massive redistribution of wealth….We the People Do Not.
These are just a few of the reasons he is failing so badly .
I would trade much to have all of America see this man-child speak and respond to real and un-vetted questions, unassisted by a teleprompter, for one hour….hell….make it 30 minutes.
I know that much of what I have just said is going to be scoffed at by libs and that I will be challenged on it. I would advise them to read his books, and to search out as many interviews with him as they can find on you tube before doing so…because the evidence supporting virtually everything I have said is both voluminous and readily available.
But I will probably choose to ignore their barbs and denials for the most part.
Of course, most libs in here have already been directed to much of that evidence and are choosing to ignore it, or to rationalize it into something benign, and so presenting it again will have little or no impact, as by this time most have proven themselves so steeped in Kool-Aid that they no doubt piss in Technicolor.
Nevertheless, what I have stated is what I have concluded and what I think…and each and every day B.O. does nothing to dissuade my perception….but he does and says much to reinforce and validate it.
