Seriously, Maureen, just because His Majesty won´t have a steamy affair with you doesn´t mean you have to start doubting His miraculousness.

I´m sorry, but remarks like "I like a good party," etc., only confirm for me that this guy is a total goof and socially completely inept. Pathetic. What we see on a daily basis from his WH is overcompensation for his lack of social skills and his barren intellect.

Who could possibly care what this embittered old spinster thinks? She´s totally alone and very unhappy. But she helped lead the charge for "women´s rights"! Turns out men need women and women need men. But it´s the NYT so you can´t speak the obvious or the truth.

FTA: "Unlike Chris Christie, Republicans here want to make sure that the president dances alone."

Krispy Kreme is a Republican? Coulda fooled me.

The article seems pretty true and factual, at least as much as I could stomach. But then I immediately pegged 0bama as a cold fish, utterly without feelings for others, and possibly the fulfillment of a Bible prophecy.

Re Hussein´s personality, I always think of the scene in Animal House: Pinto and Flounder arrive at the fraternity rush, and are immediately escorted into the room with the uncool nerds: Jugdish, Mohammed and Barack. Well OK, some other third guy, but it fits.

"..kicking around the White House on his own..."

No one else shares his love of Sportscenter and cartoons.

And it’s true that Republicans have snubbed the president. John Boehner blew off Obama’s invites for six state dinners and Mitch McConnell skipped all but one.

If Maureen was lied to at least three times a day, would she invite the liar to dinner and buddy up to him?

The Republicans know that Obama lies incessantly, that he cannot be trusted. So what is the purpose of meeting with him? To elevate him? That´s what Obama wants -- to have the Republicans grovel at his feet and to believe every pearl dropping from his lips.

I don´t know about Maureen but, like the Republicans, I´d have nothing to do with someone who lies to me.

2 and 7 you are both right. I was doing some research last night and came across him telling Bret Baier that the process "was all jacked up" - talking about Obama Care. This clown is just one teleprompter away from being a complete idiot.

Barak Obama: the Lone Gunman.

#2 is succinct and on the money, barren intellect, good one.

Made the mistake of reading the comments after the article, New Yorkers are still in the O. is brilliant stage. I thought the Beltway Bubble was the only encapsulated mind numbed environment, but I was wrong.

#2 succinct and about all that needs to be said. The guy truly is the Pipsqueak.

Wow, I made it nearly halfway through the column today. Sadly, Ms. Dowd clarifies once more that clever writing doesn´t make up for a lack of clever thought...

Can it be that Dowd is finally getting a little bit fed up with His Majesty, or is this just a transitory fit of annoyance? Stay tuned.

I´d wager that there is not a single person who knows The Won intimately who hasn´t thought that the guy is "not right in the head". I imagine sustained contact with him must be monumentally challenging.

I do like the mental picture of him dancing alone. I can see him stiffly gyrating around the West Wing to Saturday Night Fever.

I believe #12 has posted the reason why my sympathy bank has been seriously depleted in regards to NY, NJ and their problems right now. They still can´t see how elections have consequences, for themselves and the rest of the country.

President Fingerman only cares about himself and that is why nobody wants to play with a manchild.

The inner workings of the Maureen Dowd´s mind are a strange and wonderous thing to behold. Like The Won, she is totally unique.

Maureen isn´t the only one that has noticed. The WaPo wasn´t particularly happy either. It´s been over 30 years since I suscribed to the WaPo and I have to say that I sure don´t miss it. Forget the NYT. I would hope that Sandy survivors are beginning to figure it all out and that Chris Christie is having to restore NJ without FEMA money because they don´t seem to have any of it either. Let´s not forget the raise in taxes for the "rich" either. Many Americans are finding out that they must be rich. Who knew?

Obama is starting out his new term with so much discontent around the country. Much more than when he started. The inauguration doesn´t seem to be the big deal it was 4 years ago. I know I´ll be washing my sox that day so will not be able to tune in for the festivities. This fraud was eleted not by choice but by fraud. It´s fraudulent all the way around. And ´fraud´ is the nicest word I can use to refer to him.

FTA:It’s taken the White House four years to develop a coherent message: Pay your bills.

Nope, the message is ´You peons must pay OUR bills!´

Every year or so MoDo gets one nearly right. Fauxbama is standoffish because he doesn´t know how to do anything but campaign. He approaches every crisis or issue as a campaign challenge. Then he goes out and pontificates (often contradicting himself utterly). Get with the program, MoDo. Wake up and smell the Starbucks. This guy is a loser and he´s wrecking the country.

Exactly # 4 and 9

BTW, according to today´s Washington Examiner, the latest Zogby poll has Obama at 52% of Americans happy with his performance -second highest from when sworn in Jan 2009.

Obama - just another low information voter...

Awwweee don´t we fell sorry for him? Sounds like bamster laments the situation he´s created for himself.

Just like someone who might become radioactive at work, school, etc he´s getting a nice dose of the repurcussions.
He´s definitely reached the point where someone would feel uncomfortable in the same room with him.

Isolation happens to terrorist countries like NOKO and Iran as well. So join the club, loser poseur president.

MoDo is still living in fantasy land, and I don´t see much cure for an epiphany anytime soon.
The guy is in way over his head, which has been obvious to non-koolaid drinkers for years!

His narcissism really makes him sound unhinged.
e.g. What adult says things like this out LOUD?
"I’ll be probably calling around, looking for somebody to play cards with me or something, because I’m getting kind of lonely in this big house."

Old news to me. From the very first time I saw this creep we call President, speaking at the Democrat Convention in 2000, I was horrified. Biden´s remarks about "A negro who can speak intelligently" should have tipped people off as to the reason for the sudden rush to get Øbama deified and on the fast track to the white house. No substance, all show and tricks. Now, the low infos have elected him and the libtards are slowly beginning to awaken to the nightmare they have brought on our country by doing so. It´s a perfect storm this nation will pay dearly for.

"...in the all-too-brief time he has left to get things done before he morphs into a lame duck."

Poor MoDo. She can find it in herself to actually criticize little barry now but she still can´t admit that he isn´t capable of doing anything useful. He is ALREADY a lame duck, dear. About as lame as it gets.

The reason that he´s standoffish is that he can´t let anyone get close enough to see how very little ´there´ is there. Remember that interview in 2007 or so when Michelle said of his maybe running for higher office that he ´hasn´t done anything yet´ and had nothing to run on?

what I got from the article was that MoDo slobbered the same lame line: It´s Bush´s fault and now it´s the Repubs fault and the messiah isn´t kicking them around like he promised. Sounded to me like just another big wet kiss/excuse for The Won.

The Democrats still whine about Bush like it hasn´t gotten 10 times worse since he left. We have a low-IQ President who talks like he came out of the hood. No wonder he gets no respect in Congress. He thinks his trash-talking snarky remarks about Republicans can take the place of any real accomplishment on his part.

# 2 and # 7 are spot on.
No Republican would ever get away with
Obama´s terrible grammar- which is helpfully edited by the media in their official transcripts .
Nor would they get away with the constant use of " getting stuff done "
or " doing stuff " to explain official policy.
Obama´s public incoherence , sibilance problem
and stuttering ah..eh..is ignored.
His constant use of the word " folks " is
shorthand for " white folks " a group he freely admitted
in Dreams of distrusting , disliking and manipulating.
When Obama posed with the children yesterday and tried to hug them,
it was one of his most awkward public displays
of pretend affection.
The photos were just cringe inducing.
In fact , Obama never looks comfortable and normal
when he´s photographed with his wife and children.
It´s like he´s with mannequins.
The only time he ever looks happy and relaxed and
shows normal emotion is when he´s with Reggie Love.
The White House made Reggie vamoose
because many citizens were getting wise to the
obvious affection between the two men.

I don´t know about you, friends, but I have found it difficult to find words strong enough to describe this dangerous threat to our world. He is a disease, a traitor, a liar, a stooge, a saboteur, a communist, a thief, a homosexual gayboy, an actor, an anti-Christ, not necessarily the anti-Christ, and I´m just getting warmed up.
He is a tool of a secret cabal, determined to break the sovereignty of the free people in America. He is in the loop, but like Ambassador Chris Stevens, he may be disposed of in order to further the aims of the elite. That being said, his death would dusturb his childish followers like no LA riots in the past. If they were looking for a trigger to bring on chaos and permanent martial law, his time and theirs might be shorter than we think.

#32 is correct. We have serious problems, and it not just that we have a Manchurian president. There is a cabal behind him, one with specific goals for our people, our country and the world.
They already have huge powers, and those powers are only growing. It has been said above, but the election was fraudlent. Polls quoted above are fraudulent. 2010 showed the democrats what will happen if they don´t interfere, and they will not tolerate it. It is going to take organization on our part, and when that happens, we will suddenly have a "reason" for 0 to use his newly stolen powers to stop the Internet. Serious, serious problems.

In addition, if Obama had been to some of the parties I have attended he would still be in ICU.

Lonely is as lonely does.

Yeah, he´s kicking around alone because the kids are getting older and Reggie´s gone.

He can´t spend all his time destroying the country--a guy´s got to have some down time.

Dowd soft pedals it but interpersonal relationships were what BO was supposed to be, frankly, miraculous with. The great uniter.

Instead we got a whiny incompetent who´s only ability to interact with people seems to be to bully them into doing what he wants.

She will rip her guy to shreds verbally but always makes sure to always always blame the Republicans for it all at the end. How can her conservative family stand her?

Was he tap dancing again ?

Perhaps Rahm will lend him his tutu.

Do yourself a favor and don´t read the comments.

As the NYT has lost readership, the ones left are part of a negative selection that is made up of 0bama sycophants.

One doofus called 0bama "the adult in the room" when there are negotiations with Republicans!

I gathered that MoDo is just blowing smoke and continuing the 0bama support in a more muted manner.
