It might just be that the world sees him as incompetent and amateur because he is an incompetent amateur.

Chalk that up to the fact that Kevin Rudd’s almost as out-there as he is.

Unsettlingly, Dear Leader doesn’t seem get along with normal, sensible people tho… foreign nor domestic. Actually, he doesn’t even seem to KNOW any normal people- I’d be hard pressed to name one

or was that Hillary, I forget

…whether Zuckerman is surprised by the failures of the incompetent radical in the White House, or if he’s saying, “I told you so.” If it’s the latter, good; indicates Zuckerman has been paying attention right along.

No one told him it was a country.

but it is relevant to any discussion of B’s foreign policy:

When someone’s entire belief system is predicated upon a notion of equality based upon station instead of opportunity, even if their heart is supposedly in the right place, you get a Carter and/or an Obama. (And you’ll never convince me either of their hearts have anything “right” within them, when it comes to their true wishes for this country.)

It doesn’t matter one bit he “wishes to do well.” What matters is either that he is too much of a zealot to reverse his course in the face of clearly catastrophic results. Or, more likely, that destruction is and always has been his intention.

rather than just mentally “off”. He just doesn’t seem to feel ANYTHING in a “normal” way. It’s almost as if some of the connections that we take for granted just aren’t present in his brain.

I’m not one for unsubstantiated rumors, but I have heard more than one source say that photographers have been told not to take pictures of him from his right side. The few that you do see seem to show what looks like a surgical scar. Plus, he wouldn’t release his medical records. Might it be possible that he had an injury due to physical abuse when he was younger that required surgery? It certainly isn’t beyond the realm of possibility.

It would be interesting to know if a brain scan would show evidence of a previous brain injury. He certainly doesn’t seem to understand some of the finer points of what is socially acceptable….

narcissistic personality disorder. From the Am. Psy. Assoc, these are a few
characteristics :l. Believes he is “special” & can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high status people/ institutions. 2. Requires excessive admiration 3. Has a sense of entitlement 4. Selfishly takes advantage of others to achieve his own ends. 5. Lacks empathy
6. Often envious of other or believes others are envious of him 7. Shows haughty, patronizing, or contemptuous behaviors or attitudes. For me, it is the very definition of O.

Nothing says ‘important ally’ like cancelling a state visit. Well, except perhaps cancelling a second time.

This Obama guy is bad for our country, bad for the world and the sooner his reign is over – the better. If he was a white southerner, he would have been impeached by now.

You will find this:

In his Cairo speech about America and the Muslim world, Obama managed to sway Arab public opinion but was unable to budge any Arab leader. Even the king of Saudi Arabia, a country that depends on America for its survival, reacted with disappointment and dismay. Obama’s meeting with the king was widely described as a disaster.This is but one example of an absence of the personal chemistry that characterized the relationships that Presidents Clinton and Bush had with world leaders.

I highlighted the key; how could Obama have any “personal chemistry” with other world leaders? He’s a neophyte, in their company only because of the arcane formula that the Democrat Party uses to pick a candidate, elected by voters in a temper tantrum about the other party and attempting to assuage their own “white guilt.” Other world leaders have been through the mill, they’ve earned their positions either by birthright or by working their way up through the ranks. “President” is Obama’s first real job. Sarkozy and Putin must laugh every time he leaves the room. Mrs. Thatcher would be hard pressed to find time for him. I imagine he feels right at home in Scandanavia. He’s trying to turn the United States into the equivalent of Denmark, after all.
