Portrait of a Narcissist   

OH MY GOD. Matthews actually said that????? Are you serious?

I've always said that liberals are the worst kind of racists because they engage in condescension and Matthews comments are blatantly condescending. Will any black people call him out? I doubt it.

I need to correct something: 0bama referred to himself 114 times; not 161. I was pulling from another speech where he referred to himself 161 times.

Scott Brown's election will cause the Democrats to mutiny because more than anything else self preservation is the order of the day. 0bama isn't going to accomplish anything now because his own party will turn on him. I even doubt he'll get his party's nomination in 2012.

Yep, he said it. I heard the recording, saw the video and read the quote in context.

It's a tragedy that Obama has that personality disorder. He could do so much good, and yet as long as it's all about him the country will decline lower and lower as will our standard of living. Stock your pantries and get ready for a long, hard 3 more years and beyond.

I went and found the video...the sad thing is he really thought it was being complimentary.

Did you ever see the video of Barbara Boxer talking down to Henry Alford?

Yes, I saw that and was ashamed for her. Good for him for standing up to her with dignity, which is a quality so few of our officials have these days!

I had thought racism was pretty much a thing of the past until Mr. Obama ran for president. Then I saw that is was here, stronger than ever and the racists of all colors were even more arrogant and self-righteous than before.

I've found that the more vehement the denial, the greater the guilt. At least when it comes to politicians.

All 0bama did was reveal the racism of the left; it did nothing to alleviate racism in this country, which, while will never be wiped out, is greatly diminished from the days of Jim Crow laws.

Here's a great article about the SOTU speech...:

http://www.politicsdaily....

It's getting to be impossible for 0bama to hide who he is anymore. He is losing control of the message and he's plainly not smart enough to fool the country for very long.

It took Bush 7 years to make the country hate him as much as it hates 0bama after merely one year.

Kennyrose I happen to be one of the people who left the Democratic Party in absolute shame. Last election was the first time since I became eligible to vote I did not vote for a Democrat.

I know, and it's really creepy the way they are filtering reality to suit their beliefs about who and what he is.

I'm not sure how I feel about the SCOTUS decision. I'm big on free speech but the ruling is a double edged sword. But ultimately it's not going to change the way DC works and it's more important to protect Free Speech than to strike an imaginary victory against corruption. Politicians were for sale before the decision and that's not going to change....

...clarification....... but becsuse we did not go over the cliff, nobody can appreciate the job they did to save the economy. Look at the stock market.... Sorry.

I'm sorry, but an intelligent person doesn't need a teleprompter to speak to grade school children. 0bama has never struck me as intelligent. Cunning, egotistical, arrogant, but not intelligent.

His focus on himself is actually a sign of very poor leadership. Any good leader will tell you that that. He makes everything about himself and he actually comes across as selfish and petty. I didn't see a leader last night. I saw a petulant child scapgoating and lecturing.

That's just it: he's trying to "PULL" Republican's along. That's not leadership. If you're a good leader you don't have to drag people anywhere; they will WANT to follow you. And he's not listening to WE THE PEOPLE who have spoken loud and clear that we do not want his agenda. It's clear he doesn't care about the will of the people who elected him; he only cares about his own agenda.

Once again, divisive and poor leadership.

He is the most left wing president we've ever had. He has nationalized banking, the auto industry, and now he's looking at healthcare. If you understood socialism you'd understand what's happening. Currently the US ranks below Canada in the index of Economic Freedom. That's left wing.

I'm not the one who needs to open my eyes. You've said nothing that has any bearing on reality. Were you aware that the real unemployment rate is 17%? Right now 0bama's approval rating is the lowest of any president in this period of their administration; if the election was held tomorrow 0bama wouldn't get elected dog catcher. The country is NOT happy with him and that's not going to change. I doubt he'll even get his party's nomination for a second term, and even he's alluded to the fact that he's going to be a one term president, which is good because it will allow us to undo all the damage he's done.

And the idea that people can't be racist: where ever did you get that idea? Institutional racism isn't the only kind of racism and actually comes out of individual racism.

According to the Princeton.edu website, racism is defined as "the prejudice that members of one race are intrinsically superior to members of other races" My dislike of 0bama has nothing to do with his race but with his ideology and agenda. His skin color is immaterial to me. However, it is very important to the people who voted for him. In fact, many people voted for him because he was black and not because they understood what he stood for. And the fact that people think he's so intelligent; if we were a white man no one would think he was especially intelligent; the condescension of the left has blinded people into thinking he's intelligent in spite of being black, like his skin color is some handicap that he had to overcome.

If I were black that would piss me off.

...Sorry I didn't read your entire post, as I said, in essence, people see what they want to see to stay in the place they want to stay. Anyone who was President of the Harvard Law Review, no matter what you say or think, is incompetent. Give it up, you can try to make your own reality if you want. He's brillant! Let's see what the future brings. The real unemployment rate is 20%. They only sample amyway. You stay where you are, as the train moves on. "o) No problem.

You're basing your assertion of his brilliance on the fact that he was at Harvard? Really? So was Bush.

Based on 0bama's performance at Columbia he should have never been given entrance into Harvard. He never produced anything of merit while at Harvard but he had a whole lot of powerful, influential friends to get his where he wanted to go.

SndCain, it may be true that some African American people voted for Obama because he was black.

But I'd wager that an awful lot of White people voted AGAINST him because he was black as well.

I remember getting dispatches in my email from the KKK and the Confederate Pride Organization that accused Obama of being a Muslim and a non-American citizen before anyone else did, when he was not even president elect yet. I watched these charges when they were first leveled and witnessed them spread to the mainstream after being repeated, before anyone thought of them, by such racist organizations. I saw it happen.

Now all of the conservative are echoing the same claims that originated with those groups.

You may not be racist, but I would think long and hard about who I was getting my talking points from.

opalina... while your talking points obviously come from MoveON.org.

Funny.... as a Conservative who receives a lot of mailings, I never received any from the KKK or Confederate Pride (never heard of THEM).

I can guarantee you though, that a lot of white people voted FOR 0bumbler, and the only group that was making the election about race was his supporters.

I oppose him because he is a self-admitted Marxist and because of his ideaology and his hatred and disdain for America and everything we represent.

As more people see what he is about, the more his popularity plummets.

In other words, those of us who opposed 0sama0bama were right, and a lot of people are now realizing their mistake.

So much for your idea of racism being behind the opposition of this lying basturd.

opalina143 What new jobs? Everything I read says just the opposite.

I think you describe yourself quite accurately though...

a muslim AND a communist? that is unusual...

Islam and Communism are more similar than you'd think at first blush. Both demand total submission to the ruling powers and preach collectivism.

point was people aren't both. communism doesn't recognise religion (even if it practically is one).

Well, he was raised Muslim and his mentor (Frank Marshall Davis) was a communist.

He has also stated that he gravitated to the Marxist philosophy and read everything he could on it... and picked his friends accordingly.

So yes, he is both.... and his policies reflect that.

destiny, you have forgotten to include 'fascist' as well...

Yer right, and he is definitely a Fascist as demonstrated by the government takeover of GM. Government running business ids the very definition of Fascism.


Check out the pic in my avatar with any historical pic of Mussolini, and see the Fascist jaw tilt that both individuals possess.

That jaw definitely invites a line drive from a Louisville Slugger...

that is not quite the definition but that was funny. i love the 'politician tilts his head back' argument - a classic

Mussolini defines fascism as "the merger of corporate and government power"

There is also this...

Although the broadest descriptions of fascism may include every authoritarian state that has ever existed, most theorists see important distinctions to be made. Fascism in Italy arose in the 1920s as a mixture of syndicalist notions with an anti-materialisttheory of the state; the latter had already been linked to an extreme nationalism. Fascists accused parliamentary democracy of producing division and decline, and wished to renew the nation from decadence. They viewed the state as an organic entity in a positive light rather than as an institution designed to protect individual rights, or as one that should be held in check. Fascism universally dismissed the Marxist concept of "class struggle," replacing it instead with the concept of "class collaboration." Fascists embraced nationalism and mysticism, advancing ideals of strength and power.

Fascism is typified by totalitarian attempts to impose state control over all aspects of life: political, social, cultural, and economic, by way of a strong, single-party government for enacting laws and a strong, sometimes brutal militia or police force for enforcing them.[19] Fascism exalts the nation, state, or group of people as superior to the individuals composing it. Fascism uses explicit populist rhetoric; calls for a heroic mass effort to restore past greatness; and demands loyalty to a single leader, leading to a cult of personality and unquestioned obedience to orders (Führerprinzip). Fascism is also considered to be a form of collectivism.

In short... Fascism considers the government to be the ultimate answer to everything, and individuals and liberty are subject to the government's whim.

Sound Familiar?

0bama thinks he is the answer, and that more government control under his rule will solve all our ills.

hi destiny - you've been agoogling then. well done - doing research is a good thing. i am pretty sure however your figurehead is not a fascist, communist or muslim. more seriously and talking about your country in general, i think it has a snowball's chance in hell of becoming communist - don't worry, this one is not going to happen. fascism slightly more likely but still not something to be too concerned about just yet. there is a strong fundementalist religious movement in the us but although it has things in common with islam it is not islam. your country is a democracy, although i think it has strong elements of an ogliarchy and i would worry about this. google ogliarchy and you will see what i mean.

I know what an Oligarchy is... and Communism, Fascism, Socialism... they are all examples of Oligarchy. So you are not telling me anything new... it is called Big Government here in America, and us Conservatives are in opposition of anything like that.

As to your reservations about America becoming communist... well, that is why so many of us oppose 0bama, because the fundamental shift that he was talking about is communism.

That is the agenda that this self-admitted Marxist has been working on with his healthcare reform and his talk of Cap and Trade... and the rest of his agenda.

Here is a bit of news for you ...


America is not a democracy... and it never has been.

It is a Representative Republic by design.

The founders abhorred democracy as mob rule.

Christianity, which America was founded upon, has no aspects of Islam... and for you to make such a claim demonstrates your ignorance of the subject.

Islam is a Theocracy... a religion, culture, and government in one all encompassing package, whereas Christianity is not.

Christians do not perform honor killings, nor the rest of the pagan rituals that Islam demands.

The foundations of Christianity and Islam are completely different and bear no relationship to the other.

The office of president is much more than a figurehead... it is the Executive Branch of our government.... even though the present officeholder is a complete and utter moron who is sadly lacking in the skills that holding that office require.

He is not a leader and never has been.

As to my research... it allowed my to effectively demonstrate that you were mistaken in your preconception of Fascism.

is really all i can add to that destiny, i recommend you do some more googling.

In other words... you have nothing to add.

The fact is that you made an inaccurate statement and got caught out by it.

You are the one in need of additional research.

I knew this stuff without having to look it up... I just needed a link that proved you to be in error... and I succeeded.

no i didn't. you don't actually know what a fascist is destiny and to be honest saying your president is either a communist or a fascist is demeaning to those that lived or live under those regimes. which were horrendous and what you have in comparison are minor complaints. hyperbole doesn't help your argument. now i know you are going to argue about this until the cows come home which is why i was planning to leave before.

Show me where your statement was accurate... go ahead MATE... prove it!

Your ignorance of history and politics is appalling... are you trying to claim that 0bama is a conservative?

He is a self-admitted Marxist, and his policies are Fascist.

Some of the people who actually lived under those types of governments are warning about the dangers of 0bama and his policies.

You are the one demeaning the things that occurred to those people.

Nice attempt at a straw man argument though... however, is that the best you can do?

I NEED that avatar!

lol

I forgot my initial comment -- I was too worried about that avatar!

"do you think his opponent would have done better if the election results were different?"

I don't know much about "better," but I know that Obama is borrowing a heck of a lot of McCain's campaign talking points to run America. Things he said were bad ideas when McCain mentioned them are suddenly golden when Obama wants to implement them.

I don't think McCain wuld have gone on a world wide apology tour kissing the butts of people WHO WANT TO KILL US while disrespecting our allies. I don't think McCain would be granting civillian rights to enemy combatants either.

And where do you get these facts (if that's what they are) from?

One of the main things "I" object to - is all of the meetings going on 'behine closed doors, and if that doesn't smack of shady dealings - it sure seems to.

I've never in my almost 69 yrs., seen such a time when politicians are doing everything they can as fast as they can, before anyone even knows what they're up to - or consistantly doing what THEY WANT, instead of yeilding to their constituants. It's just abhorrant!!

Actually, unemployment is at 10% and RISING. It is at a 26 year HIGH. The true figures are at about 17%.

The unemployment figures that are being released are for those people newly unemployed, and do not include those who were already unemployed.

All those figures mean is that less people lost their jobs than has been the case.

Comrade 0bowMao's policies are destroying the economy, not fixing it.

Whatever gains the economy is making is in spite of him, and definitely not a result of his policies.

Bush had it right when he same the economy was basically sound. The recent improvements prove that point, and have little to do with the temporary stimulus. If 0bumbo is not careful, these recent gains will vanish and the economy could go into another tailspin as a result of his failed and foolish policies.

That is their goal.
