When will Obama crack in public?
Posted: April 19, 2011
by Mychal Massie

At a time when many Americans can barely afford Burger King and a movie, Obama boasts of spending a billion dollars on his re-election campaign. Questioned at a recent appearance about the spiraling fuel costs, Obama said, "Get used to it" – and with an insouciant grin and chortle, he told another person at the event, who complained about the effect high fuel prices were having on his family, to "get a more fuel-efficient car."

The Obamas behave as if they were sharecroppers living in a trailer and hit the Powerball, but instead of getting new tires for their trailer and a new pickup truck, they moved to Washington. And instead of making possum pie, with goats and chickens in the front yard, they're spending and living large at taxpayer expense – opulent vacations, gala balls, resplendent dinners and exclusive command performances at the White House, grand date nights, golf, basketball, more golf, exclusive resorts and still more golf.

Expensive, ill-fitting and ill-chosen wigs and fashions hardly befit the first lady of the United States. The Obamas have behaved in every way but presidential – which is why it's so offensive when we hear Obama say, in order "to restore fiscal responsibility, we all need to share in the sacrifice – but we don't have to sacrifice the America we believe in."

The American people have been sacrificing; it is he and his family who are behaving as if they've never had two nickels to rub together – and now, having hit the mother lode, they're going to spend away their feelings of inadequacy at the taxpayers' expense.

Obama continues to exhibit behavior that, at best, can be described as mobocratic and, at worst, reveals a deeply damaged individual. In a February 2010column, I asked, "Is Obama unraveling?" I wrote that it was beginning to appear the growing mistrust of him and contempt for his policies was beginning to have a destabilizing effect on him.

At that time, I wrote that not having things go one's way can be a bitter pill, but reasonable people don't behave as he was behaving. He had insulted Republicans at their luncheon, where he had been an invited guest. I had speculated that was, in part, what had led him to falsely accuse Supreme Court justices before Congress, the nation and the world, during the 2010 State of the Union address.

It appeared, at that time, as if he were "fraying around the emotional edges." That behavior has not abated – it has become more pronounced. While addressing the nation, after being forced to explain the validity of his unilateral aggression with Libya, America witnessed a petulant individual scowling and scolding the public for daring to insist he explain his actions.

But during an afternoon speech to address the budget/debt, he took his scornful, unstable despotic behavior to depths that should give the nation cause for concern. Displaying a dark psychopathy more representative of an episode of "The Tudors" television series, he invited Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to sit in the front row during his speech and then proceeded to berate both Ryan and Ryan's budget-cutting plan. Even liberal Democrats were put off by the act. MSNBC's Joe Scarborough questioned the sanity of Obama's actions.

Today, criticism is coming from all sides. A senior Democrat lawmaker said, "I have been very disappointed in [Obama], to the point where I'm embarrassed that I endorsed him. It's so bad that some of us are thinking, is there some way we can replace him? How do you get rid of this guy?" ("Democrats' Disgust with Obama," The Daily Beast, April 15, 2011)

Steve McCann wrote: Obama's speech "was chock full of lies, deceit and crass fear-mongering. It must be said that [he] is the most dishonest, deceitful and mendacious person in a position of power I have ever witnessed" ("The Mendacity of Barack Obama,"AmericanThinker.com, April 15, 2011).

McCann continued: "[His] performance was the culmination of four years of outright lies and narcissism that have been largely ignored by the media, including some in the conservative press and political class who are loath to call [him] what he is in the bluntest of terms: a liar and a fraud. That he relies on his skin color to intimidate, either outright or by insinuation [against] those who oppose his radical agenda only add to his audacity. It is apparent that he has gotten away with his character flaws his entire life, aided and abetted by sycophants around him. …"

With these being among the kinder rebukes being directed at Obama, and with people becoming less intimidated by his willingness to use race as a bludgeon, with falling poll numbers in every meaningful category and an increasingly aggressive tea-party opposition – how much longer before he cracks completely?

The coming months of political life are not going to be pleasant for Obama. Possessed by a self-perceived palatine mindset, that in his mind places him above criticism, how long before he cracks in public? Can America risk a man with a documented track record of lying and misrepresenting truth as a basic way of life, who is becoming increasingly more contumelious?

Come on floyd, it seems you are getting swept up in the far right extremist propoganda.


But on the other hand, buying a more fuel efficent car will help get us off foreign oil.

Do you agree????????

No Bob, I don't agree. We can get off the foreign oil by producing our own. You know we have plenty.

great article, who wrote it?
pretty much sums up how I feel about the POTUS.
His speech on Immigration was downright laughable, if it were not for the lives of our border patrol agents that are at stake.
And/or the 35k victims of the drug cartel that he failed to mention and has now spilled over our border.
The only thing consistent about BO is he can lie out of both sides of his mouth. Moat with alligator?? c'mon man

Who is going to refine the extra oil that you seem to think we have?
No matter how much we pump, the prices will not go down and BIG oil will be recording trillions if not billions in profits.

Maybe you're right floyd, we do have alot floating around in Louisianna swamps....
Drill...Baby.....Drill

Bob, we have the refineries. We can refine our own instead of the foreign crude we bring in by the tanker load. That alone would reduce the price of fuel. Do you know how much it costs for one of those tankers to come all the way over here?

"obama bin lyin'" in his lie filled blathering today called for domestic oil production to be increased?
"bin lyin'" is the one blocking Gulf drilling, drilling off the coast of Alaska and exploration and drilling all over the continental United States!

oh floyd your so wrong.

who do we "import" the most oil from?
anybody?
canada!
whos number two on that list?
mexico

floyd ol buddie we dont even refine the bulk of our own oil here

we sell it to the highest bidder.

the price of oil is set by wall street.you know the guys you righties love to defend.
speculators have more to do with the price of gasoline than anybody.

did i miss a meeting or something when did t boone and the oracle of omaha say we could "DRILL" our way out?

never????

Bet saudi arabia is right in there

Greg, when did you ever say you supported Bush?

"In February 2011, the Company has average total cash cost breakeven rates for 2011 on a TCE basis for VLCCs and Suezmax tankers of approximately $30,100 and $24,500, respectively".

Oh come on Floyd I don't get any credit for shocking you about who we import oil from.
Jacked up up with that Canada sh'it huh!

Your welcome glad I could contribute to your education

P.S.
Please post all the facts next time the Saudis only exported more to us in February this year for the first time in years Mexico is still number 2 for the year as it was last year
HUH FLOYD

More fun oil facts for ya Floyd ol bud die
Since 2008 net oil imports are down 15 percent!
would you agree that's taking us in the right direction?

And since oil import at it's high mark in 2005
Imports are down 25 percent and if you exclude Canada it down by a third

And just think when that new pipeline gets built we will have the strongest oil supply in the world
With gulf production at risk every hurricane season and more expensive to produce than Canadian oil looks like that strategic partnership We formed with Canada is working pretty well wouldn't you agree?

Floyd
Estimates from the oil industry experts are as follows:
the us posesses 2% of the worlds oil reserves; the us consumes 25% of the worlds oil. Now take off your gloves and socks and start figuring out how drilling more wells will fix our problem. The contiued ignorance of the american people is nothing short of amazing. If the oil company said the sun sets in the south you clowns would start turning maps sideways.

You are both right.
I didn't say anything about drilling new wells, I just said we need to refine our own.
The Canada deal is a good deal. I've got stock in a few canadian oil companies as well as one in the US. I also have stock in the worlds largest tanker company. Just keep North American resources here.

The word from "obama bin lyin'" is "drill baby drill" the same as it was a year ago! This according to the left-wing lame stream moron media rag new york times!
There were very few permits issued after "obama bin lyin'" lied last year and it will be the same charade this time around! Also from the new york times!
Keep believing the leftists lies about United States oil reserves, we have more oil in the ground then any one else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
