Confused? Disoriented? Senile? [updated with yet another blockbuster video]

By pm317 on June 19, 2009 at 7:00 PM in Current Affairs

May be not senile. He was confused and disoriented at enough times and exhibited other behaviors that led us to question his capacity to serve.

I am of course talking about Obama.

Poor Mr. Walpin seems fine — I would stop looking for tell-tale signs of senility in his videos, if I were you.

Obama’s reasons for firing Inspector General Mr. Walpin (from the Washington Times article :) :

Many of the Eisen letter’s charges are rather vague (“he had engaged in other troubling and inappropriate conduct”; “Mr. Walpin had become unduly disruptive to agency operations”). Two allegations are more specific.

1)There was a “May 20, 2009 Board meeting at which Mr. Walpin was confused, disoriented, unable to answer questions and exhibited other behavior that led the Board to question his capacity to serve.”
2)“We further learned that Mr. Walpin had been absent from the Corporation’s headquarters, insisting upon working form his home in New York over the objections of the Corporation’s Board.”

Go on to the Washington Times article for Mr. Walpin’s rebuttal to these spurious claims. The Times has a witness on record who disputes these allegations as well. Also don’t miss earlier posts on this topic from American Girl in Italy, here and here.

What I want to highlight in this post are the few occasions where Obama showed his early signs of senility. Here we go.

Do you remember the townhall meeting in Bristol, VA? Confused, disoriented, and unable to answer questions, that about describes it.

Or this, the 57 plus 1 (plus 2? who knows what the hell he is talking about) states of the United States of America?

Or this more recent confusion and disorientation?

Or this — when did we resolve to halt the rise of “privacy” in that region? Watch for it after 0:49 mark.

Or do you remember “Cinco de Cuatro”? I don’t think he realized his gaffe but the people laughing at him did.

Can we fire him now?

[UPDATE]Take a look at the video below. At around the 0:55 mark, Obama says “..they[SCOTUS] are charged with the vital task of applying principles put to paper more than 20 centuries ago..” Hmmmm, when was the constitution written?


[h/t to commenter noobamagma for the alert]

Do we have to wait until 2012 to fire him?
