Obama Has Always Had The Gift For Self Pity



America is losing its patience with Obama. He will be classified as a whiner and blame shifter. The sum of these negative attributes is a true sign of an inexperience president. Unlike the first two years of his presidency, Obama return to the campaign trail. A path the president feels comfortable. Obama is seen as a bloviated orator giving speeches than governing a country. It is obvious that running a capital society is very challenging to the president. Instead, Obama prefers a true totalitarian-like regime, a system that doesn't have an opposition. It is easier to govern as a totalitarian regime because it would take an idiot to screw it up.

It is sickening to hear Obama's gripe. Obama stated the leader of China has a better time of governing than him. The president admitted he rather be invincible and have the freedom to move about without the secret service and the media. Obama has shown intolerance to badgering reporters and displayed moments of an anxiety attack when the president's Teleprompter failed him. Obama is beginning to show a more sarcastic, testier, and arrogant side nothing seeing among presidents. And if all else fails, Obama's remark, "It's Bush fault."

"The Oval Office, I always thought I was going to have really cool phones and stuff. . . . I’m like, 'C’mon guys, I’m the president of the United States. Where’s the fancy buttons and stuff and the big screen comes up?' It doesn’t happen."

— Pres. Barack H. Obama



(National Review) The list of people I feel sorry for is long. It includes not just all of the people I know personally who are suffering from one misfortune or another, but the billions around the world who’re having a rougher time than they ought: Japanese earthquake victims, targets of ethnic cleansing, etc. Then there’s the supplemental list, which includes everyone from fans of Lost who were ripped off by the series finale to the guy in the middle seat on a long flight.

But one guy who doesn’t make the list is Barack Obama.

None of this is entirely new. The president has always had a gift for self-pity. And blame-shifting. “It’s Bush’s fault” could be the subtitle of his presidency.

Obama Will Not Allow That Texas Reporter to Any Press Conference



Obama is so thin-skinned, who is unable to answer a direct question. Obama is a whimp! The president decided never to allow that Texas reporter to ask hard questions again or correct the president with facts.



(Politico) When the even-keeled and cool President Obama gets prickly in public, it never goes unnoticed.

For Obama, who has carefully cultivated a reputation of easily managing confrontations with people who disagree with him, these moments are as rare as they are revealing of the person behind the presidency.

So it’s no surprise that Washington took notice when after a tense interview with a Texas TV reporter on Monday, Obama unclipped his microphone with no smile in sight, and tersely warned, “Let me finish my answers next time we do an interview, all right?”

The president of the United States was not happy. Obama had been corrected (he lost Texas by 12 points, not “a few,” in 2008), he was accused of punishing the state for political reasons (he denied that the White House had any part in the decision not to award a space shuttle to Houston), and he was challenged with the most basic of political questions: Why are you so unpopular in Texas?

And all that in a setting the White House anticipated would be largely free of tricky questions.

The conservative media type Matt Drudge broadcasted word of the interview on his website’s banner spot with the headline “First time: Reporter turns aggressive with Obama,” accompanied by the image of Obama, mid-reprimand.

On Twitter on Tuesday morning, White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer took the bait by responding to the interview, which had been bouncing around the beltway echo chamber for hours.

The White House often expects the toughest questions from reporters outside of Washington, not the easiest, Pfeiffer tweeted.

The problem: The reporter’s questions weren’t particularly difficult, but they were clearly not what Obama was expecting. The result was a viral video that depicted Obama as angry when faced with tough questioning. And it unveiled some of the degree to which the White House would like to control its message.

Pfeiffer was asked by Time reporter Michael Scherer, “So will WFAA's Brad Watson get another interview one day?”

Instead of quickly taking the high road, Pfeiffer suggested that Watson may truly be out in the cold after irritating the president. And he did it by revealing yet another trick of Washington communications: playing one news outlet against its rival.

“Right around the time we do our next interview with @TIME. I am kidding ... or am I. @Newsweek is on the other line,” Pfeiffer responded.

It wasn’t the first time Obama has gotten a bit of bravado from local reporters who are granted a rare 7-minute one-on-one with him.

In March, just hours before Obama announced the attack on Libya, Philadelphia news reporter Jim Gardner was warned by Obama’s aides that he wouldn’t be taking any questions on that subject. Gardner asked anyway.

“I think as was already mentioned to you, I’m not going to comment beyond the statement that I made today,” Obama responded flatly.

Obama, How Did This Reporter Get In Here



Obama is unable to take the heat from rogue reporters. The frustration and embarrassment can be seen on Obama's face. Unable to use his Teleprompter or his flash cards, Obama was boxed in a corner, which caused him to get into an aggressive posture. Instead of being dignified, Obama lashes out with vile arrogance. His intention was trying to control the press conference, but instead, the president looked like an idiot.

(USA Today)President Obama has troubles with voters in Texas, and, apparently, with interviewers from the Lone Star State as well.

"Let me finish my answers the next time we do an interview, all right?" Obama told reporter Brad Watson after an interview with WFAA-TV of Dallas, one of four interviews with local television stations at the White House on Monday.

The exchange is toward the end of the video.

At one point, Watson asked the president: "Why do you think you're so unpopular in Texas?"

After some jousting about the size of his loss in Texas in 2008 -- the president said it was "a few percentage points," but it was more like 11.8% -- Obama told his interviewer: "If what you're telling me is that Texas is a conservative state, you're absolutely right."

Obama also bristled at claims that his administration skipped Houston in the award of space shuttle orbiters and favored states that could help his re-election.

"That's wrong," the president stated. "That had nothing to do with it; the White House had nothing to do with it."

When Watson persisted, Obama said, "I just said that was wrong," and, later, "I just said that wasn't true."

As for re-election, Obama said he isn't giving up on winning Texas.

"I never write off any states," Obama said. "I love Texas."

Narcissistic Personality Disorder Eliminated as a Mental Disorder




Narcissistic Personality Disorder has 3 main criteria to establish a diagnosis. It is very perplexing that the world of medicine would remove it as a mental disorder, but there may be a reason. By reading the 3 criteria to establish a diagnosis, there is one very prominent person that fits the description and it would be a detriment if such a disorder to exist. That persons name is Barack Hussein Obama.

(New York Times) Narcissistic personality disorder, characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance and the need for constant attention, has been eliminated from the upcoming manual of mental disorders, which psychiatrists use to diagnose mental illness.

The central requirement for N.P.D. is a special kind of self-absorption: a grandiose sense of self, a serious miscalculation of one’s abilities and potential that is often accompanied by fantasies of greatness. It is the difference between two high school baseball players of moderate ability: one is absolutely convinced he’ll be a major-league player, the other is hoping for a college scholarship.

Of course, it would be premature to call the major-league hopeful a narcissist at such an early age, but imagine that same kind of unstoppable, unrealistic attitude 10or 20 years later.

The second requirement for N.P.D.: since the narcissist is so convinced of his high station (most are men), he automatically expects that others will recognize his superior qualities and will tell him so. This is often referred to as “mirroring.” It’s not enough that he knows he’s great. Others must confirm it as well, and they must do so in the spirit of “vote early, and vote often.”

Finally, the narcissist, who longs for the approval and admiration of others, is often clueless about how things look from someone else’s perspective. Narcissists are very sensitive to being overlooked or slighted in the smallest fashion, but they often fail to recognize when they are doing it to others.

Obama had a Party to go to, so he lets Bill Clinton be president









I have never seen Obama being so aloof. As Bill Clinton tell him to leave, it portrays the father telling the son to go to his room. By reading between the lines, it was an embarrassing moment. I guess Bill Clinton wishes he was president again. Because of a Whtie House party, Obama had leave during the middle of a press confernece to meet with Michelle Obama for the White House function.

(RealClearPolitics) Former President Bill Clinton gave a statement after his meeting with President Obama about his tax compromise with the Republicans.



However, after his statement, Clinton began to call on and take questions from the press with Obama at his side. Obama leaves promptly after a few moments and said he had to see Michelle, as he was keeping her "waiting."



"I don't want to make her mad, please go," Clinton told Obama.
