It is sad that it has taken more than five years for a great many people to recognize who and what Barack Obama is and to have the courage to describe him exactly as he is.\u00a0 In an interview on the Fox News morning show, Fox & Friends<\/i>, on Wednesday, October 16, psychiatrist Keith Ablow delivered a brief, biting, and to-the-point psychoanalysis of Barack Obama.<\/p>\n
Co-host Steve Doocy prefaced his interview with Dr. Ablow by showing video clips of Obama referring to congressional Republicans in very unflattering and un-presidential terms… at one point referring to them as \u201chostage-takers.\u201d\u00a0 Doocy inquired whether or not, from a psychiatric standpoint, Obama\u2019s language revealed anything about his personality.\u00a0 Doocy asked, \u201cSo, the average person might hear partisan rhetoric, but what do you hear in the words the president\u2019s using?\u201d<\/p>\n
Ablow replied, \u201cWell, in the words \u2018hostage-taking\u2026 being held for ransom,\u2019 he said that the Republicans are threatening to \u2018blow the whole thing up.\u2019\u00a0 There\u2019s a real victim mentality here, and it really explains the president\u2019s whole mentality and many of his policies… that if he feels victimized and believes millions and millions of us have been victimized by America, well then that explains why he wouldn\u2019t negotiate with hostage-takers and victimizers who have kidnapped him and threatened to destroy him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Doocy wondered whether Ablow felt that Obama is concerned that he\u2019s been victimized by the Tea Party.\u201d\u00a0 Ablow replied that Obama\u2019s feelings of victimization started very early in his life.\u00a0 He said, \u201cI think the president, going back to when his dad abandoned him, when his mother left him with his grandparents, when he describes his grandmother as intimating that she didn\u2019t trust men of color, that all of those things led him to feel victimized, hurt and injured.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ablow continued, \u201cAnd he has extended it to this country. \u00a0So, he comes to the corner office to right wrongs and to offer the mantle of victimization to as many people who will share it with him as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Describing the message that Obama and other Democrats convey to the poor and the middle class, he said, \u201cMore food stamps, don\u2019t learn to feed yourself. \u00a0Don\u2019t find it within yourself to pull yourself up. \u00a0Simply say, \u2018I\u2019ve been victimized, hence, I need more unemployment, more food stamps, more free health care. \u00a0And you know why? \u00a0Because those other people (the non-poor) are bad.\u2019 \u00a0And that\u2019s what we\u2019ve been hearing from him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ablow went on to explain that Obama has taken his victim mentality \u201cglobally\u201d on an \u201capology tour\u201d to the world as the \u201cvictim-in-chief, the dis-empowerment president.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ablow concluded by stressing the vast difference between Republicans and Democrats, saying, \u201cThe Republican Party is all about autonomy… what can you make of yourself?\u00a0 That\u2019s not the president or his party.\u201d<\/p>\n
But it was blogger Matt Walsh who, in an October 3, 2013 open letter to Obama, sliced and diced the occupant of the Oval Office over the fact that he and his stooge in the Senate, majority leader Harry Reid, decided it would be good politics… good for Democrats… to shut down the federal government and blame it on Republicans.\u00a0 Walsh wrote:<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery president has a moment that encapsulates their time in office; your moment, Mr. President, happened this week. \u00a0Sure, future generations will look at you with mockery and scorn because of bigger scandals \u2013 Benghazi, the IRS targeting conservatives, Obamacare, the birth control mandate and your attacks on religious liberty, spying on journalists, arming terrorists overseas, Fast and Furious, the green energy scams, the bailouts, your support for infanticide, the billions you\u2019ve given to the abortion industry, your cowardice in refusing to address the Gosnell murders, your reckless exploitation of the Zimmerman trial, the out-of-control deficit spending, your refusal to enforce immigration laws, the massive expansion of the welfare state, the lies, the broken promises, etc. \u2013 but I think, in an understated way, what you\u2019ve done this week is a better microcosm of your entire reign.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not just referring to the fact that you are peddling the lie that Republicans have shut down the government, when, in fact, they have attempted to pass several bills that would fund the government. \u00a0Mr. President, you tell these fables to the trained seals in the media and your voting base, but you know darn well that any American with a capacity for critical thought will roundly reject this absurd narrative. \u00a0YOU have chosen to shut down the government because you have made Obamacare the ultimate priority. \u00a0You have said, \u2018Obamacare or nothing,\u2019 and then accused Republicans of being the \u2018hostage takers.\u2019 \u00a0They are holding the government hostage by trying to fund it? \u00a0What a silly idea. \u00a0But then, you are a silly, ridiculous president. \u00a0Speaking of which, this takes us right to your defining moment: barricading memorials and monuments in a ploy to win an argument.<\/p>\n
\u201cComparatively insignificant when stacked up against your war crimes and constitutional infringements, but it is nonetheless an apt illustration. \u00a0The Lincoln Memorial is just a giant statue. \u00a0There isn\u2019t any reason why people shouldn\u2019t be able to look at a statue during a government shutdown. \u00a0In past shutdowns, the memorials were open, with only the information centers closing down. \u00a0The Lincoln Memorial has never been completely closed off from the public until now. \u00a0You have decided to spend money to block and guard open-air monuments, when it would be cheaper, require less staff, and be less onerous to simply leave them be. \u00a0Is this some sort of bizarre punitive measure against the American taxpayer?<\/p>\n
\u201cInfamously, you even attempted to stop World War II veterans from visiting the World War II memorial. \u00a0That memorial is mostly privately funded, and is open 24 hours a day. \u00a0You SPENT MONEY to physically guard the monument from a group of elderly war veterans. \u00a0This is truly unprecedented. \u00a0We have had horrible presidents in the past, but none quite so shallow, cheap and contemptible. \u00a0You tried to close down Mt. Vernon, which is privately funded, but had to settle for closing its parking lot \u2013 even though the parking lot requires no immediate on-going maintenance or surveillance from any federal workers. \u00a0Did you have to shut down the Normandy cemetery and memorial? \u00a0Are we saving money that way? \u00a0I doubt it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the same game you played during the sequester, and it comes as no surprise to those of us who pay attention (which means it came as a surprise to a large number of people). \u00a0Rather than leading like a statesman, you hide in the shadows; scheming, conniving, exploiting. \u00a0You emerge only to make hyper-partisan speeches, with rhetoric best left to Democratic talking heads on afternoon cable news shows. Far from being a \u2018new kind of politician\u2019 (as you were advertised), you are the most political politician this country has ever seen. \u00a0You are political to your core, in your essence, at an atomic level, and so you are unable to offer any direction or clarity when the nation needs it most. Sometimes, Mr. President, the affairs of this nation require a man, not a politician, and it is during those times that you are especially useless. \u00a0You don\u2019t have any interest in fixing our present crisis because you\u2019re too busy finding ways to keep a busload of 90- year-old war veterans from looking at a memorial.<\/p>\n
\u201cClosing down parks, monuments and memorials just to score political points is hardly your most insidious deed, but it\u2019s certainly one of your pettiest. \u00a0That\u2019s why it stands, ironically, as a monument of its own. \u00a0If we ever build a statue of you, Mr. President, you won\u2019t be triumphantly holding a flaming torch like Lady Liberty, or standing authoritatively with a look of determination, like the MLK memorial. \u00a0No, it will be a statue of you pulling the wings off of a fly, or spitting in someone\u2019s orange juice. \u00a0It will show you in your essence, as monuments are meant to do. \u00a0It will show you as a petulant, skulking, juvenile bully. \u00a0It will show you as you are.\u00a0 And we\u2019ll make sure it\u2019s always open, especially during a government shut down.\u201d<\/p>\n
So the question arises, how does such an inconsequential individual manage to get elected to the leadership of the free world.\u00a0 For that matter, how does such a \u201cpetulant, skulking, juvenile bully\u201d get himself elected to a seat in the Illinois state senate?<\/p>\n
Barack Obama was not elected because he had a love for our country.\u00a0 To the contrary, Barack Obama holds nothing but enmity toward our great country.\u00a0 He ran for the presidency, not to solve problems or to heal our nation\u2019s wounds.\u00a0 He ran for the presidency because of an unquenchable desire to punish our country, and for no better reason than that it exists.<\/p>\n
All things considered, history will show that Obama was not elected because he was exceptionally bright; he\u2019s not.\u00a0 And he was not elected because he has a love for our country and a vision for our future.\u00a0 He holds no great love for our country and wants only to transform it into a leftist enclave we would never recognize.\u00a0 Barack Obama was elected for two very important reasons: he was elected because he was born with a glib tongue\u2026 and because he\u2019s black.\u00a0 Now it remains to be seen whether his glib tongue can rescue him from his \u201cif-you-like-your- healthcare-plan, you-can-keep-your-healthcare-plan\u201d series of lies.<\/p>\n
Like Dr. Keith Ablow and blogger Matt Walsh, columnist George Will has a complete understanding of Barack Obama.\u00a0 As Will said recently, \u201cI\u2019ve been saying for a while that there is no bottom to Obama. \u00a0He\u2019s not just ruthless, he\u2019s without scruples and honor\u2026 \u00a0When it comes to his countrymen, Obama always chooses conflict over cooperation.\u00a0 Meanwhile, Jimmy Carter can rest easy. \u00a0We have a new worst president.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
