A recent analysis by Roger Simon of PJTV Media maintains that Obama is showing signs of mental illness. A wide variety of commentators have observed that Obama displays severe narcissism. Obama is conceited, and he is demonstrating a serious disassociation from reality.

A recent case in point was Obama's bizarre and meandering 17-minute, 2,500-word answer to the simple question about how he could justify raising taxes for ObamaCare during a recession when citizens are already overtaxed. Obama's wildly inappropriate answer left the audience stunned and led commentator Charles Krauthammer to mockingly say, "I don't know why you are so surprised. It’s only nine times the length of the Gettysburg address, and after all Lincoln was answering an easier question, the higher purpose of the union and the soldiers who fell in battle."

This lapse of delusion occurred in front of a friendly audience. Overall, Barack Obama seems to be slipping into a slightly more delusional state these days.

On Monday, following his embarrassing answer on Saturday, Obama stopped by the Washington Nationals home opener to loft an effeminate toss toward home plate constituting the ceremonial first pitch. After this display, Obama was mucking it up in the press booth talking about his love of the Chicago White Sox. The announcers asked Obama which players he supported growing up a White Sox fan. After hemming and hawing for about 30 seconds, Obama responded that he grew up in Hawaii and was actually an A's fan. Again, he avoided mentioning any players by name. Obama seems to believe that he can say whatever he wants, and not reap the consequences or be forced to defend his empty assertions. Obama behaves in a manner so disconnected from reality that he is shocked when someone has the audacity to question him. Obama acts like his word is infallible.

In March of last year Obama was on “60 Minutes” with Steve Kroft. Throughout the interview as Kroft questioned about the economic downturn and people losing their life savings, Obama just kept laughing. A one point CBS’s Kroft stopped him and asked, “Are you punch drunk?" How will the American people react to seeing their president laugh off their predicament? Obama’s inappropriate laughter clearly demonstrated he has lost touch with the pain that people are feeling.

Obama portrays himself as the larger-than-life figure towering above the political fray. At the summit when Obama was pushing his health care package through Congress, he attempted to act as if he were the chief arbiter of truth. With petty insults, he slapped down what the Republicans proposed and audaciously claimed his was a “bipartisan bill.” Obama distorts the truth with such frequency that one must start to question if Obama even realizes he is lying or is so disassociated from the truth that he believes what he says.

A further example of Obama’s delusions of grandeur occurred when he gave himself a “good solid B plus.” Believing that his presidency was an above average success when America is hurting is absurd. Obama went so far as to claim that he would give himself an “A” once health care was passed. Obama is not living in the same reality as the rest of us.

As Charles Krauthammer wrote, “Not that Obama considers himself divine. (He sees himself as merely messianic, or, at worst, apostolic.) But he does position himself as hovering above mere mortals, mere country, to gaze benignly upon the darkling plain beneath him where ignorant armies clash by night, blind to the common humanity that only he can see."

Obama sees himself as the greatest man to be president in all time. He truly believes it when he said "we are the ones we have been waiting for," and "this is the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and the planet began to heal." He believes that he can do anything he pleases and the people will love him for it. Obama plans to radically transform this country and go down in history as, in his mind, the greatest ever. Obama is clearly disconnected from reality.

Obama is, according to Newt Gingrich, “potentially the most dangerous (president), because he so completely misunderstands reality.” Gingrich was referring to Obama’s inept and weak stance on missile defense amongst other things. Even Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said that Obama is an amateur; so much for wowing the world. Obama lives in an alternate universe where he treats our friends poorly and expects our enemies to change and become our friends. Here’s hoping that the voters help to connect this president back to reality in November.

So, basically, he is a politician-narcissism, no reality,etc....

As Charles Krauthammer wrote, “Not that Obama considers himself divine. (He sees himself as merely messianic, or, at worst, apostolic.) But he does position himself as hovering above mere mortals, mere country, to gaze benignly upon the darkling plain beneath him where ignorant armies clash by night, blind to the common humanity that only he can see."

This is the same Crudhammer that thought Bush "I love Jesus" was great and was beyond any serious criticism? Hypocrisy of neocons is astounding......

Quote from: Telesphorus

Classicom, this is a Catholic forum.  I don't understand why Matthew allows you to post here.

=================================

  Didn't mean to offend. Just wanted the show the dangers of certain ways of behavior. Its just that I come from a long line of crazy people and I know crazy when I see it, and you infallibles are as they say in the hood : "off the hook". (for the last 140 years !)

   I guess I also suffer from irrational exuberance. I keep thinking that one last pope will come along and tell the world we made a mistake with this infallible thing. If this pope had a good Christian heart,  you would see the Church being rebuilt (Ephesians 1:10) nearly overnight. So anyway, my hope is that the Good Lord will bless his Church.

A lot of us know crazy when we see it too.  The problem with that is that since it is becoming epidemic (insanity), it's getting harder to prove.

 :scared2:

Glad, I don't think that many will awaken at all.  I have seen too much of facts meaning nothing to people. And if facts won't convince them (pictures, videos etc.), what will?

People are too far gone.  And at the bottom of it all in each of us is PRIDE.   Has it become impossible for people to admit that they've been duped and are wrong?

Some things never change.
 

Glad, I don't think that many will awaken at all.

Perhaps not that many, but some are clearly doing so.  Time will tell.  It is likely that that majority will remain asleep, but God alone knows and He is trying to reach each man at each moment through the daily events of his life.  Godspeed :)

  Even Ringo Star sees the disconnect  between Club Infallible and sanity. THis is a pop idol who makes references to "black magic" in various interviews. His identification of activities of the dark side should have some credibility.

Ringo Starr Reject Vatican Move to Forgive Beatles

Ringo Starr has rejected  moves by the Vatican to 'forgive' the Beatles for John Lennon's notoriously controversial claim in 1966 that they were 'bigger than Jesus'.

As previously reported in Spinner, the Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, had published an article sanctioned by Pope Benedict XVI in which the Beatles were praised for their "beautiful" music and absolved for their rock star decadence and experiments with drugs. In a front-page editorial, the paper described the band as a "precious Jєωel" as well as finally letting Lennon off the hook for his words to journalist Maureen Cleave.

The paper said the Beatles "said they were bigger than Jesus and put out mysterious messages, that were possibly even Satanic" yet admits, "what would pop music be like without the Beatles?"

Starr, however, is unimpressed, stating this week, "Didn't the Vatican say we were Satanic or possibly Satanic? And they've still forgiven us?"

He added, in a reference to the current scandal over paedophile priests in the Catholic Church, "I think the Vatican, they've got more to talk about than the Beatles."

This latest coverage of the Beatles in L'Osservatore Romano comes two years after the Vatican initially expressed their forgiveness for the band's hedonistic ways in the '60s, the 2008 article celebrating the 40th anniversary of the release of 'The Beatles',' a record that according to the Vatican is a "magical musical anthology."
