Do you agree with President Sarkozy that Obama may be insane?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. dragon54u (15681)   ranked 28 out of 3,985 in politics 2 years ago

I don't know French and perhaps something was lost in translation but here's the article:

http://canadafreepress.co...

Apparently Sarkozy says that Mr. Obama is acting dangerously and not taking any advice into account in his decisions. The article says in part, "According to this report, Sarkozy was “appalled” at Obama’s “vision” of what the World should be under his “guidance” and “amazed” at the American Presidents unwillingness to listen to either “reason” or “logic”."

What do you think? Is it just a matter of disagreeing on how to govern or does Sarkozy really hold that opinion? Do you think Obama is one brick shy of a load or is he merely narcissistic and headstrong?

IT doesn't sound like what he promised in his election years. "I am wanting to hear opposing ideas." Will I guess he didn't promise to do anything about what he would hear but just wants to know what he is up against so he can fight it. Sounds pretty smart to me. Not right, but smart.


myLot reputation of 97/100. dragon54u (15681)   ranked 28 out of 3,985 in politics  2 years ago

There have been presidents who have listened to very bad advice and we have suffered for it and those that wanted to appease everyone. I'm pretty sure our current prez is narcissistic to a fault and obsessed with his "legacy" but I'm not ready to say he is mentally ill. I think he makes some very poor judgments but that's hardly reason to say he's loony.

I certainly do not think that I am qualified to say Obama is insane. It is bad enough to think that an arrogant, narcissistic, egoist is running our country without adding madman to his list of personality traits.


myLot reputation of 97/100. dragon54u (15681)   ranked 28 out of 3,985 in politics  2 years ago

I think your description is more apt than Sarkozy's. He either was overreacting or someone did not translate correctly.

Hmmm very interesting Dragon.

Well, anything is quite possible and who knows, the French may not be wrong about Obama, and it is clear to someone like me that he is arrogantly headstrong yes.


myLot reputation of 97/100. dragon54u (15681)   ranked 28 out of 3,985 in politics  2 years ago

My opinion, too. I don't think he's insane but he is arrogant and narcissistic.


myLot reputation of 85/100. valentinesdiner (802)   ranked 19 out of 3,985 in politics  2 years ago

Isn't being somewhat arrogant and self-centered (maybe not narcissistic) part of the job description for that job?

Imagine the chutzpah it takes to think that you can be the leader of the free world and to take taht message across the country and get both the adulation of millions and the scorn of millions.

I would want to wait for others to speak on this than a befuddled French President.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Hatley (48774)   ranked 587 out of 3,985 in politics  2 years ago

my gosh people did you want a wimp for president a yes man, sure he may come off a bit arrogant but he is trying to do something, and for eight years we had a president who just made a total mess and turned out economy upside down, Obama is not responsible for the horrid economy and maybe his so called arrogance will some day get us out of it,okay off the soap box for I believe in not kicking someone when he is down and help him to unsnarl this mess maybe we need a headstrong man with some guts,not a wimp like Bush.Now please do not throw any bricks at me. please.


myLot reputation of 78/100. debrakcarey (2673)   ranked 137 out of 3,985 in politics  2 years ago

I have posted this information here once, but I will post it again for the benefit of those who would have us to think Mr. Obama is actually DOING something constructive. When Bush left office our deficit was about 45 Billion dollars. 100 DAYS into Obama's administration and our deficit was projected to be in the TRILLIONS! Count those zeros! The jobless rate is STILL at an all time high...and some experts say it is getting worse than during the Great Depression. I will not get into the damage he's doing to our standing worldwide...many world leaders who are NOT Muslim think he is rash and arrogant. But then, it IS fashionable to put down Bush, and I've heard it said that only racists put down Obama...I will say this before any of you think to insult me with that label, so much for FREE SPEECH in America.

Well I do not believe that narcissism and bull headed are signs of insanity, but I do agree that Obama lacks the ability to listen to logic and reason. Logic like, I won so nothing else matter does not count as logical skills.


myLot reputation of 97/100. dragon54u (15681)   ranked 28 out of 3,985 in politics  2 years ago

I agree with that assessment.

I would rather reserve judgment on Sarkozy's comments until it is confirmed. Other wise, yes Obama is very narcissistic and ridiculous.

I thought his comments were a little extreme. I put that subject on my Google news update to keep tabs on it.

dragon54u it depends on whose reason and whose logic? I think he is a new President in a highly biased US that probably had hoped to reelect the witless Bush again or his clone. I think he is trying to undo all the mess that Bush left in 8 years and most Americans want instant results just like we want everything else instant, we cannot wait, so we rail at him, and make up all sorts of the most awful stories about him, and I do not believe a tenth of this crap handed out about our president. for better or worse, he does deserve to be supported as he took on a horribly challenging job in the worst time ever, he did not make this horrible economy yet he is blamed for everything under the sun. Of course he is not insane but all this crap spread about him would make me feel insane if I were in his shoes. I really do not know who is right or wrong but I do know there are a lot of white people, I am also white, that did not want a colored man in the white house. I seldom respond to political discussions as thats a sure way to get insulted. I do not think Obama narcissistic either, he is a man who has a job I would not want wished onto me no matter what it paid and he is sure getting enough crap to turn a lesser man into resigning.devildunce capevil grin


myLot reputation of 97/100. dragon54u (15681)   ranked 28 out of 3,985 in politics  2 years ago

I would never insult you for expressing your opinion. There are a lot of people who think Mr. Obama is doing a good job but I myself think he is very dangerous and is turning this country into something we definitely won't like. And yes, he inherited a mess but he actively campaigned to inherit that mess and now he's got it so he should quit whining about it.

A president just can't win, you know. If they start a program they will get criticized. If they change their minds because the people don't want it, they are criticized anyway. It is a thankless job but all I ask is that the president so what is in the best interest of the country. I don't think Mr. Obama has this country's interest at heart and I would love to be proven wrong. But I don't think he's insane, just self-absorbed.

7. myLot reputation of 22/100. kennyrose (5047)   2 years ago

I had a discussion on this a couple day's ago it now is on page two here in politics.
Commentators are asking this question is Obama mentally ill?
during an interview awhile back the discussion was the American people are having a tough time,Obama broke out with a laugh not once but twice,the interviewer stopped the interview and ask Obama are you "PUNCH DRUNK"
The other day Obama was asked a very simply question which was,is this the time to be raising tax's on the American people? Obama's answer was 2,500 word's over the span of 17 minutes.
Obama wandered from one thing to the next the whole 17 minutes when he came out of his trace he said "I'm sorry that was really a long answer"
As most of us know Barack Obama was a cocaine user,in Chicago he was known as a big party boy.
People have been also asking this question should Barack Obama be drug tested?
Sarkozy dose not get along with Barack Obama well,he may not even like Obama,but he may be on to something possibly suggesting Barack Obama is insane?
People in our own country are beginning to asking the very same question.
Obama is all that has been said in the answers to your discussion.
In my opinion Obama was extremely power hungry and soon as it was handed to him he begun misused his newly found power.
The day George and Laura Bush was leaving Washington D.C. after most gracefully handing the key's to our house to the the Obama's,Barack Obama stood beside Joe Biden as the Bush's begin their walk up the stairs to their flight Joe Biden saluted George W. Bush rightfully so,Obama stood with his hands both at his side.
Obama is all that your responders has said and even more he is the most arrogant,ratical and dangerous man ever to sit in the oval office~ ~ Rose





(These are some of the remarks made in this article "IS OBAMA INSANE",you can click the link below to read the article)

http://www.westernjournalism.com/?p=7119

A recent analysis by Roger Simon of PJTV Media maintains that Obama is showing signs of mental illness. A wide variety of commentators have observed that Obama displays severe narcissism. Obama is conceited, and he is demonstrating a serious disassociation from reality.


A recent case in point was Obama’s bizarre and meandering 17-minute, 2,500-word answer to the simple question about how he could justify raising taxes for ObamaCare during a recession when citizens are already overtaxed. Obama’s wildly inappropriate answer left the audience stunned and led commentator Charles Krauthammer to mockingly say, “I don’t know why you are so surprised. It’s only nine times the length of the Gettysburg address, and after all Lincoln was answering an easier question, the higher purpose of the union and the soldiers who fell in battle.” This lapse of delusion occurred in front of a friendly audience. Overall, Barack Obama seems to be slipping into a slightly more delusional state these days.

Rose, I used the myLot search engine to look for similar discussions and the piece of crap didn't show me any results! confused Sorry to duplicate! blush

I don't think he's on drugs but I do think all this has gone to his head and he has an agenda that we aren't going to like! Look at how he treated the Prime Minister of Isreal, that was appalling and I was ashamed of it. Our one ally in the Middle East and he does his best to alienate them.

I read about that 17 minute reply. Mr. Obama is very, very good at evading questions by eating up time with trivia and unrelated subjects. He's a master of double-speak.

I really hope the country survives this non-violently.


myLot reputation of 78/100. debrakcarey (2673)   ranked 137 out of 3,985 in politics  2 years ago

The fact that ANYONE would even ASK that question tells me a great deal about how far we have sunk as a nation. There has always been those who disagree with any President...Democrat or Republican. But for it to be in the press that some think he's insane...is SCAREY! How do we deal with this?

I think that our president has delusions of grandeur; he is self important. This makes him dangerous in his present position. That is my opinion.


myLot reputation of 97/100. dragon54u (15681)   ranked 28 out of 3,985 in politics  2 years ago

I share your opinion. I do not think he is insane but he is definitely dangerous to our country and our liberties.

You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. I can still remember when he paraded around the idea of mandatory health insurance as being a bad thing, and he slammed Hillary for supporting the idea.

We all know how that worked out.

Politicians say and do what they must to get our approval, and then the facade isn't quite as necessary. Personally I think the man is just another bone headed moron and forked tongue liar, but that's just me. "Crazy" is giving him the benefit of the doubt.


myLot reputation of 97/100. dragon54u (15681)   ranked 28 out of 3,985 in politics  2 years ago

I guess we are the ones who are insane. Voting for politicians year after year, knowing that they lie but still wanting to believe them, and nothing ever changes.


myLot reputation of 63/100. Latrivia (1976)   ranked 226 out of 3,985 in politics  2 years ago

American's are expected to eat the feed our leaders give us. If we don't, we're radical or anti-government.

We're locked in to a very narrow electoral system, and few realize it has to be that way. If everyone voted for who they really liked, rather than who they think could win, we might end up elected people who (while dishonest and boneheaded), are not as bad as some of our more recent choices.

I always expect politicians to lie, which is why I'm never disappointed when they do.

I don't think Obama is insane. I certainly don't agree with his "transformation of America" and his world vision. I think Obama is thin-skinned, arrogant, and a know-it-all. I won't be voting for him in 2012, even if he moves to the center. I've seen enough in a little over a year...


myLot reputation of 97/100. dragon54u (15681)   ranked 28 out of 3,985 in politics  2 years ago

That's pretty much my take, too. I saw through him before the election and steered clear.
