Obama the Narcissist
Related Categories: Politics
In this blog since the election, I have tried to give our new president every benefit of the doubt to fulfill his many campaign promises. I did so with the hope that his ideas will work, even though I believed they would not. It is thought that one will campaign from the extremes of his party but then, if elected, governs from the center. Not so for Obama. He campaigned from the left and has governed beyond even the extreme left of his own party. He is making Ted Kennedy look like a conservative.
His answer to our economic woes - we can spend our way out! We now have a debt that is beyond comprehension with no end in sight. Socialism is right around the corner if not here already. His plan for health care reform - nationalized medicine with the certain net result that all of us will eventually be mired in a Canadian-like model where the government makes the decisions on your care. Ask any Canadian if he likes his health plan. They don't and that is why they come to America when they are really sick. His answer to Iran's totalitarian regime and its slaughter of young people in the streets over a rigged election - let's talk and reason together. Check out this site and tell me if these jihadists are even remotely reasonable.
His laxity in condemning this joke of an election is appalling. Congress had to pass a bill to condemn the slaughter going on in Iran because our president would not. He even went as far as to take credit for what he calls the "debate in Iran" attributing the revolt to his speech in Egypt. This is narcissism at its worst. Only after his own party urged him to be tougher in his condemnation did he do so. When Ronald Reagan stood before the Berlin wall what did he say? "Oh, please Mr. Gorbachev let's talk about how we can learn to respect each others' ideas." No, he said, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." That is leadership. That is decisiveness.
Obama has lost an incredible opportunity to effect change in an enemy country, an axis of evil state. I am sure he thought that if only he could talk to their Ayatollah he could use his power of oratory to convince them to hold a new election. Instead, men and women in Iran looking to the U.S.A. for encouragement and support are being brutally suppressed while our president bows to his own immaturity. His solution to the North Korean threat - we will follow your boat and ask for permission to board, but we must say, "Please." And if they say, "No?" "Pretty please with molasses on it."
I am convinced Mr. Obama is too inexperienced and immature to lead this great nation. The hope is that he will not do too much damage before the next election when hopefully someone with greater wisdom can be elected. Until then, we must pray that our nation will not sink into the abyss of the dangerous left-wing agenda.

financial institutions who have sent this economy into near oblivion while their CEOs walk off with gazillion dollar bonuses. I do not know how it will turn out but there are certain things of which I am very sure. We are reaping what we have sown as a nation. This bailout will likely be successful but short-lived. As a nation we have been fighting a culture war for almost two generations. 
decade and a half to make organized religion one of my favorite targets. I often explained to people, 'I don't need to make fun of religion, it makes fun of itself.' And, then I go ahead and make fun of it too, just for laughs. With religious fanatics like George Bush and Osama bin Laden now taking over the world, it seemed to me in recent years that this issue -- this cause of debunking the man behind the curtain -- needed to have a larger, more insistent and focused forum than late night television. I wanted to make a documentary, and I wanted it to be funny. In fact, since there is nothing more ridiculous than the ancient mythological stories that live on as today's religions, this movie would try to be a real knee slapper. Unless, of course, you're religious, then you might not like it."
