When will Obama crack in public?Posted: April 19, 2011
by Mychal Massie
At a time when many Americans can barely afford Burger King and a movie, Obama boasts of spending a billion dollars on his re-election campaign. Questioned at a recent appearance about the spiraling fuel costs, Obama said, "Get used to it" – and with an insouciant grin and chortle, he told another person at the event, who complained about the effect high fuel prices were having on his family, to "get a more fuel-efficient car."
The Obamas behave as if they were sharecroppers living in a trailer and hit the Powerball, but instead of getting new tires for their trailer and a new pickup truck, they moved to Washington. And instead of making possum pie, with goats and chickens in the front yard, they're spending and living large at taxpayer expense – opulent vacations, gala balls, resplendent dinners and exclusive command performances at the White House, grand date nights, golf, basketball, more golf, exclusive resorts and still more golf.
Expensive, ill-fitting and ill-chosen wigs and fashions hardly befit the first lady of the United States. The Obamas have behaved in every way but presidential – which is why it's so offensive when we hear Obama say, in order "to restore fiscal responsibility, we all need to share in the sacrifice – but we don't have to sacrifice the America we believe in."
The American people have been sacrificing; it is he and his family who are behaving as if they've never had two nickels to rub together – and now, having hit the mother lode, they're going to spend away their feelings of inadequacy at the taxpayers' expense.
Obama continues to exhibit behavior that, at best, can be described as mobocratic and, at worst, reveals a deeply damaged individual. In a February 2010 column, I asked, "Is Obama unraveling?" I wrote that it was beginning to appear the growing mistrust of him and contempt for his policies was beginning to have a destabilizing effect on him.
At that time, I wrote that not having things go one's way can be a bitter pill, but reasonable people don't behave as he was behaving. He had insulted Republicans at their luncheon, where he had been an invited guest. I had speculated that was, in part, what had led him to falsely accuse Supreme Court justices before Congress, the nation and the world, during the 2010 State of the Union address.
It appeared, at that time, as if he were "fraying around the emotional edges." That behavior has not abated – it has become more pronounced. While addressing the nation, after being forced to explain the validity of his unilateral aggression with Libya, America witnessed a petulant individual scowling and scolding the public for daring to insist he explain his actions.
But during an afternoon speech to address the budget/debt, he took his scornful, unstable despotic behavior to depths that should give the nation cause for concern. Displaying a dark psychopathy more representative of an episode of "The Tudors" television series, he invited Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to sit in the front row during his speech and then proceeded to berate both Ryan and Ryan's budget-cutting plan. Even liberal Democrats were put off by the act. MSNBC's Joe Scarborough questioned the sanity of Obama's actions.
Today, criticism is coming from all sides. A senior Democrat lawmaker said, "I have been very disappointed in [Obama], to the point where I'm embarrassed that I endorsed him. It's so bad that some of us are thinking, is there some way we can replace him? How do you get rid of this guy?" ("Democrats' Disgust with Obama," The Daily Beast, April 15, 2011)
Steve McCann wrote: Obama's speech "was chock full of lies, deceit and crass fear-mongering. It must be said that [he] is the most dishonest, deceitful and mendacious person in a position of power I have ever witnessed" ("The Mendacity of Barack Obama," AmericanThinker.com, April 15, 2011).
McCann continued: "[His] performance was the culmination of four years of outright lies and narcissism that have been largely ignored by the media, including some in the conservative press and political class who are loath to call [him] what he is in the bluntest of terms: a liar and a fraud. That he relies on his skin color to intimidate, either outright or by insinuation [against] those who oppose his radical agenda only add to his audacity. It is apparent that he has gotten away with his character flaws his entire life, aided and abetted by sycophants around him. …"
With these being among the kinder rebukes being directed at Obama, and with people becoming less intimidated by his willingness to use race as a bludgeon, with falling poll numbers in every meaningful category and an increasingly aggressive tea-party opposition – how much longer before he cracks completely?
The coming months of political life are not going to be pleasant for Obama. Possessed by a self-perceived palatine mindset, that in his mind places him above criticism, how long before he cracks in public? Can America risk a man with a documented track record of lying and misrepresenting truth as a basic way of life, who is becoming increasingly more contumelious? (: insolently abusive and humiliating )

None of that is accurate, but you know what? Obama killed Osama bin Laden.
So you and your buddies can pound sand, OK?
GREAT week for Obama and the US:
1) Releases Long Form BC, exposing the Birthers as petulant racists
2) Embarrasses and marginalizes Donald Trump at the WHCD
3) Puts in motion the ferreting out and destruction of Osama bin Laden; whereas all Bush the Lesser could come up with is that he didn't consider OBL that important and didn't think about him.
Way to go, Mr. President!
Well I could *go on* about the alleged (now) killing of Osama bin Laden, but leaving that aside for the moment....
WTF is this?
This dude is like the LogCabin Republicans. Talk about a "battered wife" syndrome. I have to say that after the cognitive dissonance in the prior ersatz "Maxine" cartoon, I have to give someone (???) some kind of props for getting this dude to cough up an even bigger hairball of cognitive dissonance.
Of course, some rightwing, probably white, person wrote this nasty diatribe, but this AA got paid for it. Shame on him. Yet more of the shrill whining about how Obama & Michelle have the brass-iron *nerve* to go to the WH and behave like, you know, the Pres & First Lady of the USA.
In the case of this Massie person, I'm guessing he's exhibiting the "self-hating Jew" syndrome but in his case it's the "self-hating AA syndrome"... plus exhibiting typically rightwing temper tantrum throwing irrationality.
If this person is appearing on the media outlets listed here, it goes a long way to highlighting why I almost never watch the corp-owned media. Who needs this crap?
I would say that Massie ought to be ashamed of himself, but clearly this sociopath feels no shame ever.
There have been a number of pundits lately commenting that, since Obama released his long-form birth certificate, it just proves that the Tea Partiers who pitched fits about it are just racists.
I guess the Koch brothers - who fund the Tea Party & all their "rallies"- decided to have one of their thinktank writers do this piece and pretend that an AA wrote it. Agree that Massie got paid for it.
It's being sent out to soothe Tea Partiers into not feeling ashamed for their racism and bigotry... hey if this black dude says THIS, why then, it means that I'm not a racist.
Same duchebags with the same opinions... Obama didn't get Osama - the military did... give credit to the right people that risked their lives not some duchebag sitting in an office sending people off to war... at the very least we can agree on that.
What's a duchebag?
Just like Bush didn't start the Iraqi War, the 101st Airborne did. Except that he did.
Just like the failed rescue of the hostages in 1979 wasn't Carter's fault, except that it was.
This was a joint operation between CIA and the SEALs green-lighted by who?
By the same guy who vowed to move heaven and Earth to get OBL when he was elected. Meanwhile, Commander "Mission Accomplished" STOPPED the search in 2006.
I know this is driving the Right wild (I'd have said 'insane' but conservatives are way past that now); I read it on your blogs -- desperately trying to distance what happened from Obama's leadership. That he had nothing to do with it, it was the military. That he's making it all about himself. That OBL is not really that important.
Enjoy your crow dinner.
I think I could forgive Obama some of this hypothetical "fraying around the edges," given the utter lunatics he has to deal with in Congress and the media. And bloggers like this WND loon.
I have my own opinion about Osama bin Laden, but duly noted that some rightwinger swings by to diss the so-called "Democratic" President, as if the Commander in Chief deserves no recognition for the raid in Pakistan.
Of course, if it had been W Bush at the helm, this same rightwinger would've been clapping, cheering & doing the happy dance for how "great" W Bush was Pres & CiC.
But a black "Democrat"??? - eh that Pres didn't do one damn thing; it wall the military who did it on their own, Pres had nothing to do with it.
What a typical load of rightwing horse shit. Bloody tired of the lying nonsense, double standards & insane hypocrisy of these people, who only *bring down* the tone of the whole nation. Temper tantrum throwing 3 year olds are more mature and make more sense.
(and I don't even like or agree much with Obama) sheesh
What a pathetic attack. There is nothing at all of substance in this. I KNOW the right has some serious policy disagreements with Obama yet they keep stooping as low as possible on these ridiculous character attacks. Their target audience must be nothing but drooling morons incapable of grasping anything more complex.
So hey Rederick: are you saying that you equally dislike W Bush & Dick Cheney because they sat "in an office sending people off to war..."??? They are the ones who started the Wars, fyi. It appears that Obama's trying to end them.
Don't want to plow through all this drivel? Here, let me sum it up for you:
"I'm projecting the weird behavior of the alcoholic, emotionally dysfunctional Dubya (in fact I may have cut-and-paste from a left-wing piece on the last president) onto the uppity nigger and his wife now living in the White(man's)house."
There! No need for you to waste time reading it now!
You're welcome.
So hey Rederick: are you saying that you equally dislike W Bush & Dick Cheney because they sat "in an office sending people off to war..."??? Yes They are the ones who started the Wars, fyi. okay looneytunes It appears that Obama's trying to end them. keep telling yourself that
A devastating repartee!
gala balls, resplendent dinners and exclusive command performances at the White House
The nerve of the Obamas, holding gala balls, resplendent dinners and exclusive command performances at the White House! When we know that every previous occupant had the good taste to hold them at the Hilton.
Hey. What's a black feller doin usin words like "insouciant"? Sounds uppity to me.
