Is Barack “Losing” It?

Fascinating blog item from an unnamed “insider” who previously worked in the Obama White House. I believe this is legit. Why? Because I had a conversation earlier this week with a friend who is a major source of campaign funds for Democrats and told me about a recent conversation with a senior White House official, who was venting about Hillary Clinton. That comment tracks with the blog postings from Ulsterman linked below. Anyway, the “insider” offered the following juicy tidbits:

It’s time to get the word out. It’s time to challenge the inept status quo that is currently running things. People are scared – hell, I’m a bit scared myself. But enough is enough – this political train has got to get back on its tracks. And I’ll tell you this, my talking to you, and your little blog stories, is already helping. More people are ready to talk. It’s already happening. And more is coming. The media won’t be able to ignore it anymore. This administration, the leadership in Congress, they need to account for how they have totally mishandled the responsibilities given to them. That accounting is coming soon enough in November – we are going to get what we deserve. But I am still hopeful it is not too late to save 2012. . . .

What I mean is exactly this – we got Congressmen and Senators running for re-election right now whose political careers are about to be ended because they supported a president and a Democratic Party leadership that told them to do so. They trusted they would be politically protected, that the American people would agree with the agenda. Well guess what? That hasn’t happened. Good people, good Democrats, are being tossed aside like so much trash – and this White House DOES NOT GIVE A DAMN. In my eyes that is absolutely unforgivable. You just don’t do that to your own people. . . .

So how exactly has President Obama failed to help members of his own party? (Leans forward – clearly agitated.) Loyalty – loyalty – loyalty. This White House doesn’t give a damn for the concept of loyalty, dedication, sincerity. This White House is the most self-centered, arrogant, and ignorant…they just don’t care to know what they are doing. And when they do it – consequences mean nothing to them. NOTHING. And that is not to say it’s all bad at the White House. There are some very bright people working there. But you know what, those people have been marginalized, pushed aside, and are now leaving. You watch – the exodus from this White House will prove to be of historical proportions. . . .

What have we done? We were led to believe this man was one thing, but everything I have seen, heard, and understand, points to the indisputable fact he is not what we hoped for. Not what we were promised. Maybe he might have been. Maybe a full term or two in the Senate and he would have had the experience and maturity to handle the job of President of the United States. But right now – the man is simply not up to the task, and yet it is loyal Democrats who are paying the price for his incompetence and incoherence. The health care bill? Do you know I was told he has never read the bill? Not one part of it? NOT ONE. Sounds like something you would hear on one of the talk radio shows, right? And I wouldn’t normally consider such a possibility, but this came directly from one of those good Democrats who might now see their political careers ended because they supported that bill and now its being used against them like some political sledgehammer. How is that supposed to make someone who put their career on the line feel? Betrayed. A whole lot of us are feeling betrayed these days and it just pisses me off.

Yep, talk about a Homer Simpson moment–DOH!!

A prior piece published on 7 September laid out these disturbing details:

But after Obama was sworn in, things began to change? Almost immediately. Obama loved to campaign. He clearly didn’t like the work of being President though, and that attitude was felt by the entire White House staff within weeks after the inauguration. Obama the tireless, hard working candidate became a very tepid personality to us. And the few news stories that did come out against him were the only things he seemed to care about. He absolutely obsesses over Fox News. For being so successful, Barack Obama is incredibly thin-skinned. He takes everything very personally. . . .

What about Hillary Clinton? Obama is scared to death of Hillary. He doesn’t trust her – obsesses over her almost as much as he does Fox News. He respects her though, which might be why he fears her so much as well. He talks the game, but when it comes down to it, she has played the game on a far tougher level than he has, and Obama knows that. . . .

So if Obama doesn’t appear interested in the job of president, what does he do day after day? Well, he takes his meetings just like any other president would, though even then, he seems to lack a certain focus and on a few occasions, actually leaves with the directive that be given a summary of the meeting at a later date. I hear he plays a lot of golf, and watches a lot of television – ESPN mainly. I’ll tell you this – if you want to see President Obama get excited about a conversation, turn it to sports. That gets him interested. You start talking about Congress, or some policy, and he just kinda turns off. It’s really very strange. I mean, we were all led to believe that this guy was some kind of intellectual giant, right? Ivy League and all that. Well, that is not what I saw. Barack Obama doesn’t have a whole lot of intellectual curiosity. When he is off script, he is what I call a real “slow talker”. Lots of ummms, and lots of time in between answers where you can almost see the little wheel in his head turning very slowly. I am not going to say the president is a dumb man, because he is not, but yeah, there was a definite letdown when you actually hear him talking without the script. . . .

Like I said, it’s been a while since I was last at the White House, but I don’t have a problem saying that the president is losing it. I don’t mean he is like losing his mind. I mean to say that he is losing whatever spark he had during the campaign. When you take away the crowds, Obama gets noticeably smaller. He shrinks up inside of himself. He just doesn’t seem to have the confidence to do the job of President, and it’s getting worse and worse. Case in point – just a few days before I left, I saw first hand the President of the United States yelling at a member of his staff. He was yelling like a spoiled child. And then he pouted for several moments after. I wish I was kidding, or exaggerating, but I am not. The President of the United States threw a temper tantrum. The jobs reports are always setting him off, and he is getting increasingly conspiratorial over the unemployment numbers. I never heard it myself, but was told that Obama thinks the banking system is out to get him now. That they and the big industries are making him pay for trying to regulate them more. That is the frame of mind the President is in these days. And you know what? Maybe he is right, who knows?

The fear of Hillary is real. When my Democrat friend described the comments the White House contact made with respect to Secretary of State Hillary I was stunned by the pettiness. I cannot go into the details because it would compromise my source. But I couldn’t believe that the White House has such a siege mentality with respect to Hillary.

But that’s not just my opinion. Did you see Glenn Greenwald’s latest?

Last night, Barack Obama spoke at a $30,000 per plate DNC fundraising event at the “home of Richard and Ellen Richman, who live in the exclusive Conyers Farm development in Greenwich [Connecticut]‘s famed ‘back country’ neighborhood,” and said the following about liberal critics of his presidency:

Democrats, just congenitally, tend to get — to see the glass as half empty. (Laughter.) If we get an historic health care bill passed — oh, well, the public option wasn’t there. If you get the financial reform bill passed — then, well, I don’t know about this particular derivatives rule, I’m not sure that I’m satisfied with that. And gosh, we haven’t yet brought about world peace and — (laughter.) I thought that was going to happen quicker. (Laughter.) You know who you are. (Laughter.) We have had the most productive, progressive legislative session in at least a generation.

So, just as Robert Gibbs before him explained (albeit more harshly), if you’re one of those people dissatisfied with large parts of the Obama presidency, that’s only because you have something wrong with the way you think (you need drug testing/you “congenitally see the glass as half empty”), and because you are saddled with extremely unrealistic, child-like expectations (you’re angry that the Pentagon hasn’t closed yet/bitter that Obama “hasn’t yet brought about world peace: ‘I thought that was going to happen quicker’ (Laughter.)”). In other words, you’re just a petulant, unreasonable, unrealistic, fringe child who doesn’t appreciate the greatness and generosity he’s given you (h/t Jane Hamsher). Contrary to what many of you thought, it’s these flaws within yourself that cause you to be dissatisfied with the administration, not because of any of this. . . .

This may sound like a serious problem, but I’m sure it’s nothing that can’t be solved by just a couple more Obama speeches delivered at $30,000 per plate dinners in Connecticut, at which the President derides their concerns as nothing but the by-product of congenital grievances and insufficient gratitude — maybe he can even throw in a couple strawmen: “these union workers won’t be satisfied until I’ve seized the means of production and abolished capitalism” — followed by a celebratory column in the Post from Stephen Stromberg giving the President a reverent high five for slapping down those petulant union ingrates. That’ll do the trick.

(Be sure to follow this link and read the whole thing. Devastating.)

The last time we saw this level of paranoia at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue a guy known as Tricky Dick Nixon was roaming the halls. Looks like the ghost of Nixon is haunting Barack Obama.

  • Khan Krum

    This all seems to jibe with the results we see.  It appears that the al-Bama White House is on an agenda without ever adjusting it for unforeseen contingencies like reality.  It also seems to have no problem throwing anyone under the bus to get more traction.  Eventually the non-Communist Democrats (while there are still some left!) will have to do something or the whole party will be obliterated for the foreseeable future.

  • Yttik

    “This White House is the most self-centered, arrogant, and ignorant……”

    Yes, I believe many of us labeled him a narcissist and an empty suit.

    Remember how Bush wanted to “build his legacy” before leaving office? I was not a Bush fan, but at least he was aware that he had to actually do something to be remembered for it. The current president is a legacy in his own mind already.

  • West Virginia

    Great find, Larry.  Now we can stop wondering and start to really worry, as our WH is no place for Ted Mack contestants.

  • foxx

    “. . . we were led to believe . . .” !!! ???

    It took me 30 minutes of research to figure out Obama is a crook and a fraud. But he didn’t get to the white house by himself. All these “loyal” “good” democrats went along for the ride, knowing who he was, participating in the election fraud.

    Either they are gutless or corrupt (or both). The ones in my state (New Mexico) are gutless. They will never get my vote again.

    What I’d like to see addressed is WHY. WHY did enough of the core of the democratic power structure push Obama on us? Because they thought he wouldn’t make any waves?

  • Geoff C.. The Saltine

    ” Maybe a full term or two in the senate and he would have had the experience and maturity to handle the job as President of the United States” Most people work for along time before they are ready to lead anything let alone a country. An now the people that put him the white house are having regrets, why the hell did they not do their home work on boo, oh yea they had to have a historic first. Now the country is going to hell in a hand basket and for the next two and a half years we the people are stuck with this lazy, paranoid, petulant, incompetent, loser. I wish he would be the one to lead the exodus from the white house. As more comes out along these lines of comments, everone who help foist this fraud on us should apologize and that includes the people who voted for him, I won’t hold my breath on that. Its a real danger to have someone like him running our country. Come on Nov 2nd    

  • Janis

    Because Clinton threatened to end their gravy train, and Barky could be relied on to deliver the goods — insurance and bank bailouts, which Hillary would never have sat still for.

    They knew she WOULD make waves.

  • propertius

    During the 2008 campaign, I remember discussing my doubts about Obama with one of my precint committee people (I was a county vice-chair at the time). I talked about Rezko, Obama’s policy flip-flops, his dubious fundraising, his misogynistic attacks on Clinton, his inexperience, his lack of any tangible record, and his close ties with the corrupt Chicage machine.

    He replied, “Yeah, the guy is obviously mobbed up – but he can win.”

    I think a lot of Dems were so intoxicated by the prospect of an electoral victory that they completely forgot about the business of governing – and they assumed that their candidate would magicaly manifest skills and principles that he had never shown before.

    I really wish I hadn’t been right about Obama.

  • Peggy Sue

    I’ve read several articles over the last few weeks, either insinuating or outright stating that there is a siege mentality taking shape in the WH and more often than not, Richard Nixon’s name is alluded to. 

    Is it true? 

    Personally, I have a very hard time explaining the President’s behavior, his insistence that the legislation passed is all good and his and/or the WH staff for blaming the “noise” on progressives, liberals, whatever, all members of his own party and the very people [myself excluded] who helped put him into office. IMHO, this is neither presidential or smart politics.  And though POTUS seems to love the campaign-like fund raisers and spends an inordinate amount of time flapping his lips, his has yet to really explain any of this legislation to the public, how it’s going to work, why it was drafted in the way it was and/or how it’s going to be good for ordinary Americans.  He does, in fact, look bored and disinterested.

    He didn’t read it?  I can believe that. Members of Congress who drafted the bill admitted they didn’t read it.  And we shouldn’t forget that POTUS said he would go through the bill line for line.  Ha!

    The one place I do take exception with the writer is with phrases like this:

    “We were led to believe this man was one thing, but everything I have seen, heard, and understand, points to the indisputable fact he is not what we hoped for.”

    Sorry, no one was led to believe anything.  And if this writer had done his/her homework, what we’re seeing now was a given.

    Or here,

    “I mean to say that he is losing whatever spark he had during the campaign.”

    The so-called “spark” was created, the words crafted, the historic moment brought to you by marketing schemes and lies.  The Dems ran with a faux image and now they are horrified as the image breaks apart?
    This is what happens when you try to pull a fast one on the electorate.

    This is the House that lies built.  And in doing so, these blind supporters destroyed a party with a long, proud tradition.  Excuse me if I don’t weep. And I’m a life-long Dem.

    Good piece, Linda.

  • Geoff C.. The Saltine

  • Rich

    Very good  article.
    My concern and fear is that we do not just go for anyone but Obama or anyone but the Democrats.  When either the far right or left are in charge, the country suffers for with either there is no cooperation.  We do not live in a black and white world and most if not all answers are not all right or all wrong, but each has degrees of positive and negative consequences.
    The Tea Party makes me afraid for they do not like anyone in the middle or who can be reasonable and can work with both sides for a workable solution.  That means they will bring more uncertainty and that will further hurt America.

  • susiepuma-still a crazy cracker

    I’ve heard rumors that the ‘insider’ is not a democrat but a republican in disguise – for instance, until the dems more or less threw me out of the party on 5.31.08 I always called myself a member of the democratIC party and referred to the party as the democratic party – now that I have become an Independent and read alot of Repub and/or Conservative sites and watch mainly Fox News (the others make me sick) I have discovered that dems are referred to as just Democrats and the party as the Democrat Party – in reading this insider report noticed that dems are referred to as Democrat Party so just makes me a little suspicious – that being said, I believe the truth is being spoken about the fraud in chief – only, too little, too late – many of us saw this way back when – which is another reason why I will never vote for another Dem – screw ‘em – the progressives took my party and changed it into something I no longer recognize and damm it – I didn’t even notice this was happening – so shame on me too………………

    Also, gotta say that I’m kinda enjoying all the hate being directed at Karl Rove (that 2-faced POS) – he helped orchestrate the fraud’s election too & pissed on the Repubs (their ingrained elistist group hated McCain) – Rove was (don’t know if still is) lunch buddies with Donna Brazille and used to regularly meet with her – this came out during the campaign & as far as I know, no one has ever asked him about that – I didn’t like him before, I don’t like him now, and I don’t forsee liking him in the future – IMO – there are just as many fake Repubs as there are fake Dems and I wish them all to burn in hell………….. Guess people on both sides of the aisle are waking up and seeing how all of those progressive elitists have screwed the American people……………….. November is getting closer and closer – can hardly wait…………………

  • FLDemFem

    Oh please, they were salivating at the prospect of getting their hands on Obama’s email and donor list. He promised to share it, and funds raised, but, true to form, never did. He refused to help senatorial candidates running in the same election. He would show up and give a speech for them, as a fundraiser for himself. The DNC figured that Pelosi and Reid could do the actual governing, I guess, or Rahm or Axelrove. What they wanted was the campaign funds from his lists. They still haven’t got those lists. He won and he still isn’t sharing. They should have realized what sort of person he was when he campaigned against FISA, swore he would vote against it, and then went back to DC and voted for it. I remember the posters over at DKos turning themselves into pretzels trying to justify and explain why he did that. It wasn’t about skills or principles, or lack thereof, it was about money. Campaign money. Not the good of the American people, or the country, just money and getting re-elected. The DNC sold out and got taken. How stupid is that???

    Doctor Zero writes:

    “Virtually no one in America gives a damn what Barack Obama says about anything at this point. What could be more predictable, and less interesting, than Obama’s opinion on any given subject? Who wants to contemplate the economic wisdom of a guy who looted the Treasury for a trillion dollars, with less benefit than we could have achieved by stuffing hundred dollar bills into random cereal boxes? Who’s excited to hear about the next plan to convert taxpayer dollars into Democrat campaign funds? Who’s hungry for another hour of tedious excuses about permanently broken markets and the titanic dead hand of George W. Bush? Who wants a lecture on ethical business practices from the titular head of the party that gave us Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters? What use is another hollow foreign-policy speech from a man who sees no global adversary to rival the menace of Arizona? Even Obama’s supporters don’t hear anything he says any more. There’s nothing left to hear.”

  • TeakWoodKite

    Barack Obama doesn’t have a whole lot of intellectual curiosity.

    Hillary does.

    Hillary. You described her once as “scary smart”. The latest example of this is the Secratary of State’s recent comment on the US debt being a national security threat. BO? He’s out there telling the Latino and black” caucuses to go and motivate the troops….sadly that mojo has left the building.

    No, Nixon was just plan parinoid, Bo is that and and whole lot more. Gold at an ALL TIME high, last time that happened Carter was president.

    That’s the thing about “pay to play”, the music stops when the money runs out.

    Now you all have to stop dissing Bill Clinton because he publicly praised the Tea Party.  He said all politicians should listen to the Tea Party–they are saying everyone in the U. S. is doing okay except for average people and the economic statistics bear that out.

    I don’t think it’s possible for Obama to be “losing it,” because he never really had “it” in the first place. He is exactly what he has always appeared to be to many of us, just a self centered, empty suit with no experience and no leadership skills. When you puff up a part time community organizer and try to transform him into a Nobel  Prize winning fantasy, this is what happens.

    Tea Party:  We are reading lots of different thinks about the Tea Party.  The leader actually claims they are Moderates who are fiscally conservative but have not given up on creating a just, human society–high quality of life in U.

    Somewhere, the diety that blesses the heart of True Republicans – NOT the “Southern Strategy” racists of 1968 and their spawn, or the single-issue idiots who are concerned with other peoples uteri, but the real, “What We Need is Another Good Depression to Straighten These People Out,” and, “All the REAL money was Made Before the Income Tax,” Republicans is laughing his/her ass off.

    A blind man, a small boy and a yellow dog could have accurately  predicted the economy turning to shit when all the growth was based upon casino theory, abetted by the idiocy of repealing Glass-Steagall.

    And, who presided over this little donny brook? Who greased the skids for the pernicious Wall Street thieves to loot the assets of your IRA and 401K while screaming the war cry, “the Markets will self-police?”

    And WHO pushed upon us a little number nicknamed The Patriot Act that turns the Bill of Rights into toilet tissue for any tinhorn in the Executive Branch?

    Why, the Midland Mussolini and a Republican-controlled Congress.

    Expecting the economy to crater about 2009 and NOT looking to receive any credit for it, the Republicans nominated one of their perpetual palookas (Harold Stassen being unavailable), insuring that the Democrats would give it to the first fool idiot enough to WANT the presidency.

    “It be TIME for a black man to be president,” they cried, failing to notice that Obama had less in common with them than they have with crackers, rednecks and mill honkies.

    Did Obama ever, “Step to the back of the bus?” on his way to that exclusive, private school in Honolulu? Ever see a, “WHITES ONLY,” sign in real-time, in real life?

    “‘Bama gonna pay my mortgage and fix all this sheeit,” they intoned, ignoring his screaming dearth of intellectual rigor and total lack of experience working in the real economy.

    And, there was the, “My union sez to vote for Obama,” sheep and the, “My grandfather voted Democrat and I’m voting Democrat, by God!” crowd. 

    “If we don’t vote for him, people will think we’re RACISTS, Claire!” intoned a shoal of Urnfeld-Americans (aka, “white people”) who care a little too much about what Others Think of Them and not enough about What Others Are Stealing from Them, and should have seen through this charlatan in less than 30 seconds.

    “I deserve that presidential baton,” Obama might have said, not noticing the brown end of the stick.

    Well, the first idiot to lie and wheedle enough to get it has, in fact, become the First Idiot, and has demonstrated that, except for a knack for having (expecting) his ass to be kissed, couldn’t lead a pack of Cub Scouts onto a city bus without throwing some of them under it.

    And, it’s turning the people so against the Democrats that a whole case of Republican “tomato cans,” (boxing anology) will be elected this cycle, with or without the Tea Party Express and Koch brothers money.

    In other words, the Republicans Sold It to morons for $5, and, the morons having watched it circle the bowl and disappear, are going to sell It back for $1 four years later, all the while blaming Obama, Porkulus, TARP and, for all I know, the Arbor Day Foundation for the, “Downturn.” 

    The morning of the first Wednesday in November next, somewhere in Republican Heaven (Darien, or New Canaan, or Aspen), Republican God
    will be chortling mightily in eager anticipation of 2012.

    My question to you is: have you had enough of Alinsky’s Houseboy yet? 

    PS: I SO wanted to say, “Alisnky’s Lawn Jockey,” but the Faint of Heart, “Toujours PC!” crowd and The Perpetually Offended for the Sake of Others Less Able to be Offended crowd would have accused me of being Rayciss ‘n Sheeit.

    What is a principled Democrat?

    Janis,

    As usual, you hit the nail on the head!  obama could be trusted to continue their gravy train and bail out the banks and Wall Street.  He’s a puppet for the corporate elites who have controlled our government for decades.

    Hillary knows how the power game is played in D.C. and they knew that she could play it better than they (the party leaders and their handlers the coporate elite) cou.d.

    This obama debacle is exactly why we should put more women in power (real power) because we all know they won’t be given a free pass and will be held to a higher standard.  Obviously, we can’t trust the men to hold themselves to the same standards they impose on women, which is why our country is in the horrific shape it’s in today.

    “ Obama gets noticeably smaller. He shrinks up inside of himself. ”
    ————————————-
    Do i like hearing that yes, why?
    because, Obama’s over confidence 
    is his undoing, he became to greedy

    Do I enjoy hearing that the king is not
    master of his domain, hell yes.

    Obama’s friends are content to wait
    and then they abandoned him like rats
    on a sinking ship.

    As for Hillary,well that ship has sail for me
    but it does prove, that she is just as dangerous
    as Obama is.

    I guess in the end Obama is only as good as
    his backup and without it he is just a amateur.

    Barack hasn’t “lost it” because he never “had it” to begin with. I knew and know that and so did the majority who have commented over the course of the years.

    What is happening is that those elitist wheels so loosely affixed to the administration-policy axles are coming off one by one. Next stop-the ditch.

    the dumb dems are never going to get their credibility back.  They are screwed, blued and tatooed.  To turn this dyed in the wool dem in myself to a person who now loathes the democrat party says a whole heck of alot on how stupid and irrational their thinking truly is and how much they have slapped the American people in the face.  Sorry peeps, I am not down with being in abusive relationship.

    Personally, I have a very hard time explaining the President’s behavior, his insistence that the legislation passed is all good and his and/or the WH staff for blaming the “noise” on progressives, liberals, whatever, all members of his own party and the very people [myself excluded] who helped put him into office. IMHO, this is neither presidential or smart politics.

    _________________________________________________________________
    It isn’t even sane – never mind smart or presidential – because he isn’t fully. And most narcissists ARE paranoid and suffer from ideas of reference (the delusion that they are being discussed or mocked when they are not). Nixon was smarter and a self-made intellectual and he was also more paranoid than narcissist. The obvious overlap is that both narcissists and paranoids regard themselves as “victims of persecution”. That is where the similarities begin and end for me. 

  • AC

    Neither you Ferd,  nor yttik are the only ones but you both express other’s thinking (mine included) very well.

  • propertius

    I don’t understand the howls from the fauxgressives that they were somehow “deceived”. Obama flip-flopped so many times during the campaign that the phrase “Backtrack  Barack” became a cliche’. Everytime he pulled one of these stunts, his backers made excuses and credited him with some sort of grand, strategic intent. Obama didn’t deceive them, they deceived themselves.

    I guess I should be glad that they seem to be catching on, but what of all the people who lost their jobs, their retirements, their homes, or their lives on his watch? People who spend to much time in politics tend to start regarding it as a game.

    It’s not a game.

    “What this country needs is a president who is focused on the job more than on themselves.  Obama is not that individual.  I actually hope he doesn’t run again.  Looking back, as much fun as the campaign in 2008 was, Hillary Clinton should have been the nominee.  Hillary was ready to be president.  Obama was not ready.  He had never lost a campaign.  Everything was handed to him.  He doesn’t really understand the idea of work – real, hard, get your heart and soul into it work.”

    Many Dems have strong principles.  They may be unrealistic principles grounded in fantasy, but principles nonetheless.  What Thee One contrived to accomplish is to position Himself as a mirror upon which these principles could be projected: “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for . . . “   The Messiah is here at last!  We’re saved!  And now the mirror isn’t shiny anymore . . .

    Well, HARP, the below citation is from an article posted right now on Drudge:

    “O’Donnell’s comments about witchcraft were made during a 1999 taping of comedian Bill Maher’s “Politically Incorrect” show.
    “I dabbled into witchcraft. I never joined a coven,” she said on the show, a clip of which hit the Internet as O’Donnell canceled Sunday appearances on two national news shows, citing commitments to attend church and the GOP picnic in Delaware.
    “I hung around people who were doing these things. I’m not making this stuff up. I know what they told me they do,” O’Donnell told Maher.
    “One of my first dates with a witch was on a satanic altar, and I didn’t know it. I mean, there’s little blood there and stuff like that,” she said. “We went to a movie and then had a little midnight picnic on a satanic altar.”

    If she actually said this, and if they have tape of her saying it, well, it’s so bad it actually makes me laugh . . .

    Many years ago I was on the fringe of a civil war which was raging inside one of the five New York Mafia families. Meanwhile the FBI was using the full force of RICO to bring them down.  I found it ironic that the people running the family were more concerned about infighting than the external threat. Apparently, that is true of the Obama people as well. What they should be worried about at this point is their inability to govern.  Instead they obsess about 2012 and what Hillary might do. They never got over the campaign.  They never realized that as of January 29,2009 the task was to govern.  As a result they will go down.

    Well I just read some comments Ms. O’Donnell made today and she said these episodes happened when she was in high school.  High school!  Geez, the press acts like it happend last year.  So she was friends with some witches/warlocks and tried a few witchy things.  Big deal.  It obviously didn’t interest her long term since she moved on. It’s not like she admitted sacrificing animals or conjuring up spells to kill people. It wasn’t like the movie “The Craft” for crying out loud.

    Supposedly what the Democrats CLAIMED they stood for, we believed.  THEY DID NOT follow their own claims and acutally ended up DOING even worse than they complained of the Republicans.

    I was being honest on the other thread, BH’s about the Tea Party.  Democrats are not pro Choice.  They are only pro Abortion.  They have absolutely NO tolerance for someone who really is trying to make the decision and CHOOSES LIFE, instead of ABORTION.  They actually MOCKED Sarah Palin for her honesty in debating if she should have an abortion when she found out she was pregnant with a DS child.  She chose to safe his life.  I don’t know if I could have done that.  That is AMAZING to confront such life challenges and expenses, but she did and they could only joke about it.

    The best I can say about the NEW Deocratic Party, they need some heart.

    Why repeat a toe the line Democrat talking point?  Tea Party doesn’t like anyone in the middle?  There’s only one place you can get this nonsense from.  And it has nothing to do with reality.

    “Oh those extremists.  Those racists.  Those radicals.”

    And now Obama’s team is thinking about running an ad campaign against the Tea Party?  rofl.  I would actually love that.

    Good thing they don’t come to the Tea Party’s in Santa Fe.  It REALLY shakes the Libs up here.  ”Oh NOOOOO!” I could not believe in our small city, how many Obama protesters we had.  Some showed up to claim they were  Tea Party members supporting Marxism.  But his friend who held up a signs that told all “you old rich white Republicans go home”  was more telling”. lol  Don’t you feel sorry for them?

    The musings of this insider ring true . . . but it’s nothing that the readers and writers here, and a few other blogs, did not see a few years ago.  A quick examination of Obama’s past political record revealed a pol who never really accomplished anything.  All he ever did was raise money, make deals and run for higher office.  I have always seen him as arrogant, petulant, and lazy when it comes to actually doing the job.  It’s amazing to listen to how many times Obama has said, “I’m not gonna rest . . . ” until this or that gets done.  And then he goes off on vacation, to another party, or goes and plays golf.  Honestly, I think at this point that most of the American people have tuned him out.

    And it’s so typical that he would think that if you don’t appreciate his greatness . . . there’s something wrong with YOU.  I’ve been noting what the NYTimes writers and others have been saying about voters right now.  They say we’re like impatient children, having a temper tantrum, and that we just don’t appreciate Obama’s wonderfulness.

    Well, November draws closer.  These Democrats, and Obama, have it coming in a big way.  And if new Republicans coming in don’t do what’s right, and try to restore some fiscal sanity to this nation, we’ll throw their asses right back out in 2012 as well.

    When I read these pieces a couple of days ago I thought it was opposition research and done fairly well. Why oppo? It uses the term Democrat Party. It refuses to discuss Michelle and her obvious problems, and it constantly references Obama’s genious campaigning. It also talks about how smart he is. When someone turns they turn and this person has not completely turned if it is true. But this piece does bring forward several themes that have been forbidden in the the press. Obama’s self righteousness, his laziness, and what I think will be his real downfall, screwing Democratic officeholders  who went along with his crap only to get double crossed. Obama is going to double cross anyone who he can con. He has no conscience.

    I reread most of these pieces and something else occured to me. I do think that it is a insider, but someone who did not support him but has to toe the party line. I also think that it is someone who does not think wives and children should be dragged throught the mud. But I think this is a Democratic Party ratfucking. They are bypassing big media who own Obama and rigged his marketing campaign for president to get these themes out and acknowledge them, frame them, and make it impossible for traditional media to ignore. This is a vicious White House schooled in Chicago politics who will steal closed divorce records to destroy a person, spouse and their children. Is it possible that Democrats who were threatened, punished, marginialized, and humiliated could do this? Absolutely and they are going for the jugular.

    I am a woman but women will not get a free pass from me, they can be just as arrogant and self-serving as any man.  Just look at Amy Klobuchar and Betty McCollum from MN.  Betty McCollum didn’t show up for her only televised debate against Teresa Collett yesterday.  Just blew it off, now if find out she has done that for at least the last 3 election cycles.  I used to be a democrat, I didn’t know she did that, I guess I never wondered and the media here never said a word.   Haven’t heard mention of her stunt yesterday either.

    Nancy Pelosi has real power, and look at her choices.  Remember her marching down the road between buildings with her big gavel instead of using the tunnel.  She was trying to create an incident to blacken the names of honest hardworking Americans.  And when no one took the bait she stood by while one of her colleagues lied about us.  

    No, I wonder if any person either party has fostered can effectively represent the people who vote for them rather then the party that fostered them.  That means, for congressional representatives at least we should draw names out of a hat.

  • AbigailAdams

    If there’s anything at all that is a bright spot in any of this, it’s that I’ve learned the hard lesson of my own responsibility as a citizen who wishes to be involved in elections.  And it begins in knowing American history — as much of it as possible.  It’s a grind and heartbreaking sometimes.  But I learned that if I don’t understand how we got here, I don’t know anything about contemporary politics and elections.

    For all the potential and relative “good” this insider may offer, it’s not worth knowing at all if it can’t be understood within the entire universe of political history of the U.S.  It’s all fine and dandy to now start comparing barry to Nixon, but it’s like a doctor observing yet another red bump on a body, scratching his head and mumbling something insincerely soothing to the patient — “I’ve seen something like this before.  It could be a harmless bug bite, or maybe a heat rash.”  It could also be smallpox, chickenpox, syphilis, or any of 180 or so diseases that cause red skin bumps.  But how can we know what the hell it is if we don’t look at the other symptoms or history of the patient? 

    For a lot of people this story will just be another isolated symptom in a body of illness they don’t take the time to understand.  And to a lot more, it will be the disease itself, pointing to no chronic or systemic political health problem.  Even this insider talks about resurrecting the Democratic party.  It’s laughable.  It comes off as “The South shall rise again!”  When the right answer is the south should never rise again.  Not when the south is career politicians who have been shown to be incurious, incompetent, ”loyalty, loyalty, loyalty”, lap dogs.

    And that goes for all political parties.

You just can’t defeat the President without politically targeting the Republican and Democratic Leadership with STRONG independent candidates. Create a political power vacuum that as junior statesmen you can exploit and then you just might get some things accomplished.

  • Noogan

    Of course, he’s losing it. And, there’s a very good reason why he’s losing it. Because his carefully constructed facade is crumbling, and it affects him far more deeply than most people can imagine. He’s NPD: Narcissistic Personality Disorder. 


     

    Sam Vaknin’s writing on Narcissists is accurate, though he is not a mental health professional; this is an accurate description of the disintegration process when a Narcissist’s carefully constructed facade is threatened: 
    “The pacific mask crumbles when the narcissist has become convinced that the very people he purported to speak for, his constituency, his grassroots fans, the prime sources of his narcissistic supply – have turned against him. At first, in a desperate effort to maintain the fiction underlying his chaotic personality, the narcissist strives to explain away the sudden reversal of sentiment. “The people are being duped by (the media, big industry, the military, the elite, etc.)”, “they don’t really know what they are doing”, “following a rude awakening, they will revert to form”, etc.

    “When these flimsy attempts to patch a tattered personal mythology fail – the narcissist is injured. Narcissistic injury inevitably leads to narcissistic rage and to a terrifying display of unbridled aggression. The pent-up frustration and hurt translate into devaluation. That which was previously idealized – is now discarded with contempt and hatred.

    “This primitive defense mechanism is called “splitting”. To the narcissist, things and people are either entirely bad (evil) or entirely good. He projects onto others his own shortcomings and negative emotions, thus becoming a totally good object. A narcissistic leader is likely to justify the butchering of his own people by claiming that they intended to kill him, undo the revolution, devastate the economy, or the country, etc.

    “The “small people”, the “rank and file”, the “loyal soldiers” of the narcissist – his flock, his nation, his employees – they pay the price. The disillusionment and disenchantment are agonizing. The process of reconstruction, of rising from the ashes, of overcoming the trauma of having been deceived, exploited and manipulated – is drawn-out. It is difficult to trust again, to have faith, to love, to be led, to collaborate. Feelings of shame and guilt engulf the erstwhile followers of the narcissist. This is his sole legacy: a massive post-traumatic stress disorder.

    Speaking of the ditch, here’s a couple of comments from the democrats.org blog post on the new Dem logo:

    #

    People chose to believe the “words” of a conman even though the facts stared them in the face.  At the end of the day, he had a catchy slogan and the color of his skin trumped all. He lied about being conceived because his parents were “swept up” in the march of Selma.  He lied about his uncle liberating Auschwitz. And the list goes on.  All he had to fall back on was that anti-war speech (which there is no record of) and for all we know, it was something he mentioned in passing at the dinner table in Ayers’ house.  Give me a break, and now this insider is surprised that Barry is an arrogant empty suit?  The Dems wanted him because of his American Idol persona, and all along, they had hoped that he would bring in more people to the party.  THEY.THOUGHT.WRONG. 

  • trixta

    I think you’re on to something, Alibe.  The “donor list” is most likely a fraud.  BO’s campaign coffers were filled by the puppet masters (i.e. Wall St, Soros, the Saudi’s, and other globalists) who saw it in their best interest to win the WH.

    Funniest thing about this “insider” crap, at least to me, is that somehow they still “need” to believe that Oblahblah has lost the “spark” he had during the campaign. What damn spark?

    People saw what they wanted to see. I feel no sympathy for those who “allowed’ themselves to be fooled. Now we will probably have a plethora of whines about how he’s let them down. He is what he is and what he’s always been. Not much.

    I am always amused at the whimpers of the bamboozled. Unless you are under 10 or your I.Q. is YOU are responsible for “being’ bamboozled. YOU are the ones that “believed” you what you thought you saw because you wanted to “believe”.  YOU must be the kinds of folks we out here in the boonies see every time a carnival comes to town, or the County Fair is up and running. YOU’ll spend more money than you can afford on some cheap trinket and then whine that they “cheated’ you. No, nitwit, you allowed yourself to be cheated.

    When you refuse to face reality and fall for some politician’s B.S. you bamboozled yourself and you have no one to blame but yourself.

    A large number of pages is included in the free sneak peek.  It’s pretty interesting.  One stat that jumped out at me is that (I think it’s back in Jan or Feb, ’10) 50% of the tea party are political centrists or just left/right of center — and not self-identified as Republican, which very much supports my own experience.

    I think we have a bit of 2008 Obama revisionism going on.  Obama was NOT a tireless campaigner as you have suggested.  He did love the adulation but he was always exhausted.  Hillary ran rings around his whiny campaign.  But since he has become President, he barely makes even a minimal effort.  He is a fraud, a con artist and not near as smart as he thinks e is.  He must have a very limited vocabularly.  he uses the word heartbroken all the time.  And I mean all the time.  Every time anything happens, obama is heartbroken.  So much for articulate!
