Obama Meets a Grateful Planet

James Lewis
Fox News has this headline:

Obama "Never" Has Doubts About Foreign Policy Experience

Logan: Do you have any doubts?

Obama: Never.

Golly. I don't think Abraham Lincoln would have said that he never had any doubts before the Civil War. I don't think Henry Kissinger would say he had no doubts during Vietnam and the Cold War. I don't think Harry Truman, JFK, RFK, FDR, LBJ, Bush Sr, W, or any other actual occupant of the Oval Office would ever answer that way. Ever.

At least, I hope not. Because Mr. Obama has not a single  smidgen of foreign policy experience at all. His round-the-world tour is a pure PR front. There's just no time to become a foreign policy expert; that takes a lifetime of dedication.

Just as Obama has no executive experience, nor any experience that qualifies him to be Commander in Chief. He doesn't even have a legislative record in Illinois, much less the US Senate.

And the media have made up their minds to fall on their knees for this guy. They're not going to ask any tough questions at all. It's just part of their normal service to the American voter.  

Maybe that's what so mind-boggling about this candidate?  Obama has an overwheening sense of pride and limitless self-confidence. He not only uses the messiah message to sucker millions of liberals -- that's just part of the Al Gore and John Kerry playbook -- but he is fully convinced of it himself. Obama seems to believe with a faith beyond mere human understanding that he has come to Save the Planet. You think Algore the Prophet is a fraud? Wait till you see this guy.

That's weird and scary. Obama doesn't seem to have an adult evaluation of himself --- or of the formidable challenges that will face the next president. He sounds like he's on an adolescent ego trip, or worse, that he has an endemic personality defect  

Overweening pride will not solve Iranian nukes, the rising storm clouds of war in the Middle East, America's self-inflicted energy dependency, the Global Warming fraud, a Democrat Party that is both enraged and fantasy-driven, race problems that are constantly kept on the boil by the Jesse Jacksons of the world, the economy, and a slickster candidate who demonstrates no permanent principles at all, but who has the most hard-core Leftist history of any presidential candidate in American history.

Logan: Do you have any doubts?

Obama: Never.

Just think about that. What's it going to be? Global disarmament? A Global Poverty Act   The cure for AIDS? Saving the Planet from America's sins?

Consider the New York Times tale that Obama receives an email briefing every morning on foreign policy, supposedly generated by 300 -- count 'em -- 300 foreign policy advisors.    Nobody in the world, certainly no rookie, can absorb the advice of 300 different advisors. So this is either a PR lie, or it's part of the candidates florid fantasy world.

Let's just hope it's a PR lie, designed to buy off the Democrat foreign policy establishment, give them all hope for positions of power, and then, when the election in the bag, kick out all except a few. Because nobody, but nobody in the world actually listens to 300 advisors. It would take a week just to get all their opinions. Can you imagine trying to get 300 liberals to agree on a single policy? Let's all hope and pray it's a convenient lie.

Which brings us back to the Candidate of Post-partisan Change and Hope, Barack the Rorschach Blot. This campaign is throwing dust in all of our eyes. It is now impossible to tell what this candidate really believes, or what he might try to do as President. The country is voting for a pig in a poke.

If the Democrats control Congress and the Presidency, as the media now hope and predict, they will have all the power in the world. What will they use it for? Have they ever shown themselves to be responsible in any way whatsoever? Not since the Sixties Left took over the Democrat Party.

Logan: Do you have any doubts?

Obama: Never.

Just let that echo in your head for a while.

A person without any doubts is also a person without any conscience!

Of course he doesn't have doubts. Messiahs generally don't. Then again, neither do arrogant narcissists.

Obama needs to stop acting like the guy who has the answer to all questions till atleast he reaches the white house

thatz what all the previous US presidents have done ...

now that is CHANGE that Obama wants to highlight

As well, I'm sure Obama has no doubt that the Europeans, upon his arrival, will show up in adoring droves to cheer him. And, no doubt, he will not doubt their sincerity, which is entirely suspect. No doubt, Europeans aren't crazy about Obama, per se, but what he represents: the destruction of the young upstart, the United States of America. The mere prospect of that, no doubt, is making them giddy.

I, no doubt, had too much fun with this. Sorry. ;->

There are some that have named Obama's personality defect as narcissism. It's a word that's often bandied around casually, but as a diagnosis (and a genuine incurable character defect) it's terrifying that someone running for President might actually suffer from this condition. Just casually looking at Obama's responses to a myriad of questions and situations over the past months, he certain seems to fit certain diagnostic qualifications of a malignant narcissist.

Nevermind that stuff, Obama has an awesome jump shot that's been honed by hours and hours of practice. Next to Allen Iverson, who could make a better President?

What is really sad is that the first Black presidential candidate from a major party is such an empty suit. The advancements this great nation has made around race relations are being taken advantage of by a candidate who has not ever paid the price for anything having to do with being black. He is a fraud and an arrogant one at that. The only thing keeping him from being exposed by the media is his race which is quite sad since he is standing on the backs of the people who really made a difference. His world view is scary and his attachment to our great nation is only for his own personal agenda. He is an accident waiting to happen and hopefully the voters which catch on.

I was particularly dumbfounded by a comment in the Fox article to which this article linked...

Obama: "So the objective of this trip was to have substantive discussions with people like President Karzai or Prime Minister Maliki or President Sarkozy or others who I expect to be dealing with over the next eight to 10 years."

TEN YEARS!

What the h&ll does that means?

Is this "ten years" in the same manner than the U.S. consists of 57 states...or is it a more serious indication of Obama's plans.

I can think of two reasonable explanations for that degree of confidence: omniscience and naïveté. Consider the sort of people who say things like "If you're not concerned you don't understand what's happening."

And neither do Marxist-Muslims practicing "Taqiyah" have any doubts, knowing exactly how they're going to screw over the United States once they get into office, and laughing all the way to the Oval Office at having fooled 45% of the Moobat ignorant population with their deception!

All Hail the new Prophet: Barack HUSSEIN Obama (PBUH)(SAW)(SWT)!!

Oboma is Pimping Bush's ride .... and riding "DIRTY and High on the Presidents War and Surge he was totally against !
Now Oboma is a expert on how to fight any War ? B/S !

Hey! This guy is going to be great! Really. Just think, now Buchanan, Carter, and Clinton can be at peace. They won't carry the torch as the worst of the worst. B.O. will outdo them all.

It is not wrong to believe that one can make a good decision. But, one should be scared crapless wondering if one is making a good decision and after the decision if one got it right. One who isn't concerned scares ME crapless.

Oh don't confuse one with the facts! One KNOWS what one is talking about! (Fingers in ears going la-la-la-la-la)

"May you live in interesting times." Ancient Chinese curse.
Look at those BHO propaganda campaign posters of him gazing resolutely into the future...a kinder, gentler Mao-Che-Stalin. Trust the far seeing vision of Southside Big Daddy Cool. Of course there is no doubt in those eyes. Iron certitude. A pure revolutionary never doubts. Only ideologically weak sisters doubt. Its his boyhood indocrination from role model Red poet, Uncle Frank Davis in Honolulu, and pure Saul Alinsky in socialist friendly Chicago.
As an SDS sympathizer from back when, I know the drill. Any old ex-socialist hippie turned Reagan Conservative sees through the smoke and mirrors. TOTAL collapse of America from within is the sworn agenda. Complete regime change. All done nice and legal within the framework of the Constitution. Political Ju-Jitsu. Use their strength against them. Inhabit the dessicated husk of the dying nation like tireless grubworms and accelerate the inevitable collapse. It's what 'Progressive' means. (Cancer also progresses.)
How did the exemplary Roman Republic go from a democracy to an empire? There was a constitutional clause that allowed for a temporary dictatorship during national emergencies. It was based on honor and patriotism. Caesar was appointed dictator during a pending civil war and liked all that absolute power and when his term expired he arbitrarily kept the title. His brutal assassination triggered the events that collapsed the fragile Republic and morphed into Empire. Call me paranoid, but I see a slight parallel here.
Heard the Goreacle lately? We're in a global EMERGENCY. We've got ten years. Oh God! Are you scared enough to declare a DNC Politburo under Chairman Obama for the life of the crisis? 8 to 10 years perhaps? Are you ready to scrap the Old School antiquated Constitution for the sake of the world's suffering poor and our precious fragile imperiled planet? No you say? They are...believe me. It's the biggest impediment to their commando infiltration. Focus on the mission my pretties!
We must act NOW...extra-legally...it's OK in a cosmic planetary crisis! The clock is ticking. The carbon build-up is reaching critical mass. (American carbon by the way...not Chinese.) Hope for change! Wise BHO has young fresh new ideas for our salvation. He knows secret stuff!
Learned 'experts' say Red China will rule the world by mid-century. They've got the bucks and LORAL sold them the Buck Rogers. We also sold them state of the art supercomputers to forecast the weather for Olympic events. The world will be ALL theirs in 50 years. Meet the new Boss! Ask Comrade Gore, he's got an exclusive inside deal going. Firsties!
What they really need is a couple of carrier groups on their pond. They're working on that detail. Now if they can only survive the coming riots by 300 million angry disgruntled starving peasants with torches and pitchforks.(The raison d'etre of the PLA.) The memory of Tianamen Square and the massacred student's styrofoam Lady Liberty are still on the front burner. The coming Olympiad should be scintillating TV viewing!

I have no doubt that if elected BHO will be considered the worst president in American history (well after Jimmy Carter) and will lose in a landslide in 2012. God help us all.

We really need to vote for Obama, not because of the war, but the following reasons:

1. No restrictions on the right of a woman to choose whether she can afford the expense and life changing problems of having unwanted babies.

2. He will do away with the narrow view of marriage and we can all get married to whomever we want.

3. He will appoint judges that will finally do the right thing and make decisions based on what we want instead of that outdated constitution writing by a bunch of racist white men that were slaveholders. Also it is time for the African-Americans to receive their due from building this country under the whip. (and maybe this will happen fast and hopefully the democrats will have both houses of congress)

4. We can finally have some real diversity in government institutions and have a greater presence of minorities holding positions of importance, instead of just a figurehead posts.

5. The rich can finally pay their portion of taxes and this can help even out the wealth that has for too long been slanted only to a very few. It's time for everyone to share a piece of the pie.

6. We can finally begin to really use our country's wealth to do good things around the world, instead of worrying about a mythical war on terror.

7. We can finally get rid of the extremists that try to scare and incite people from their over the top words and actions on these extremists blogs, talk shows, and other places where people hurt this country.

8. We can finally be a peace loving country and quit worrying about the practice of war- we can get rid of all these offensive and extreme weapons so that other countries will no longer fear us and will not have to try and attack us just so that we don't attack them.

I can't wait to see Barack Obama clean this country up and I am sure many new people will be involved in high levels of government to straighten this county out.

I'm going with Narcissistic Sociopath. BHO is a checklist for the disorder. Here are some questions that experts suggest you ask yourself about someone you suspect might be a sociopath, along with my personal refelctions on BHO:

1. Do you often feel used by the person?

A: That would be a question for someone like Alice Palmer, I'm guessing the answer would be "Uh...yeah just kinda!"

2. Have you often felt that he (or she) doesn't care about you?

A: I have no doubt he doesn't give one rats a** about everyday Americans.

3. Does he lie and deceive you?

A: Multiple times a day, every other breath, without blinking.

4. Does he tend to make contradictory statements?

A: I swear this is an actual question!

5. Does he tend to take from you and not give back much?

A: Looking at his charitable contributions on tax forms I'd say YES, unless you count one percent of income as generous.

6. Does he often appeal to pity? Does he seem to try to make you feel sorry for him?

A: Yes and Yes. He constantly appeals to people's sympathy ("They're picking on me b/c of my funny name, b/c I'm black, b/c I have big ears, b/c I'm a marxist! Boo-hoo")

7. Does he try to make you feel guilty?

A: (See answer to #6) Constantly.

8. Do you sometimes feel he is taking advantage of your good nature?

A: That's exactly his plan. He and his 300 advisors know how to tug at the heart strings of "good natured" and well intentioned Americans, especially if they can somehow get them to believe that NOT voting for him is racist.

9. Does he seem easily bored and need constant stimulation?

A: Stimulation, adulation, pats on the back, offerings, incense, ect. And he can't seem to stick to one job or one thought for too long before changing it, but beware thoughts are allowed to be changed constantly without them being labeled as "flip-flops" or he might pull a #6 and #7 using #8 against you.

10. Does he use a lot of flattery? Does he interact with you in a way that makes you feel flattered even if he says nothing overtly complimentary?

A: Ask the dummies who are fainting.

11. Does he make you feel worried? Does he do it obviously or more cleverly and sneakily?

A: You mean the paranoia that America is hated all over the world, the earth is about to implode and only he can save us? Then, Yes.

12. Does he give you the impression you owe him?

A: Everyday and twice on Sundays. That's what reperations will be for silly.

13. Does he chronically fail to take responsibility for harming others? Does he blame everyone and everything but himself?

A: See answer to #1. She should know firsthand. It will also still be GW's fault when BHO brings American to its demise.

"Life consists in what a man is thinking about all day." Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Any relation? Your posting was nothing short of brilliant! Mucho mega dittoes friend.
I once heard a therapist say that narcissisistic disorders are untreatable. Ordinary neurotics are cureable cognitively and you can legally confine psychotics. It's impossible to reach a patient convinced they're your natural superior. You can't prescribe humility.
I say a desperately needed McCain presidency, with Mitt as VP, will be a stopgap measure to hold back the Marxist hordes. I hope McCain or his staff reads AT. All the real solutions are right here, from the fertile minds of true patriots. The best dialogue on the Net!
Trust me! A BHO regime will be our historical undoing. They are convinced they are the...'idea who's time has come'...a culmination of the 'long march of history'. As an ex-hippie socialist radical...I don't say that lightly. He's a true believing Marxist thrall and point man for the old SDS dreamers and schemers holed up in Old Red Chicago since 1968.

Vive La Reagan Revolucion! True radicalism!

I agree with Poster Dave C, who said in part that Obama is an empty suit who is riding on the backs of people who really made a difference in race relations in this country.

Consider these people and their achievements -

The first black man to have a book named as a Book of the Month Club selection was Richard Wright.

The first black man to win an Oscar for Best Actor was Sidney Portier.

The first black person to play Major League Baseball was the Dodgers' Jackie Robinson.

The first black person to be appointed as an Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court was Thurgood Marshall.

The first black man to win four gold medals in the Olympics was Jesse Owens.

The first black man to win the Nobel Peace Prize was Ralph Bunche.

The first black man to win a major tennis title was Arthur Ashe.

The first black man to be named National Security Advisor to the President, Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Armed Forces of the United States is Colin Powell.

Barrack Hussein Obama, who may be the first black man to win the nomination of a major party for the office of President is the latest in a line of black 'firsts',but he is nowhere close to being in the same league with the men mentioned above.

He is a man whose character, experience, judgment, and associations make him utterly unqualified to be President of the United States.

He is so far below the men named above-especially General Powell -it's ridiculous.

Obama is less than an empty suit.

He is an empty garment bag.
