Bob Woodward: Obama Is Showing
´A Kind Of Madness
I Haven´t Seen In A Long Time´

Business Insider, by Brett LoGiurato

Original Article

Posted By:Desert Fox, 2/27/2013 12:53:44 PM

The Washington Post´s Bob Woodward ripped into President Barack Obama on "Morning Joe" today, saying he´s exhibiting a "kind of madness I haven´t seen in a long time" for a decision not to deploy an aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf because of budget concerns. "Can you imagine Ronald Reagan sitting there and saying, ´Oh, by the way, I can´t do this because of some budget document?´" Woodward said. "Or George W. Bush saying, ´You know, I´m not going to invade Iraq because I can´t get the aircraft carriers I need?´" Or even Bill Clinton saying, ´You

It´s hard to know if Woodward likes being provocative, likes the headlines about himself or if he truly is having an epiphany about this dangerous President.

It´s also hard to tell if this president´s ´intellect´ developed while throwing non-stop tantrums as a child - or simply an offshoot of his ´choom´ years.

He certainly hasn´t earned the ´adult in the room´ designation yet, and not likely to at this point...

Serious people from many different fields.......military, mental health and others are edging closer to the big phone and feeling the need to make the call. The BS call.

At some point there may very well be a deluge of professionals who simply cannot remain silent about this OBVIOUS pathology.

Proper dictators, at that point, are faced with implementing summary executions for the crime of asking hard questions or trying to find a new host nation.

The media is critical in this process so.......Woodward´s gonna draw some fire for this.

It is not "madness." Obama´s actions do not comport with Woodward´s assumptions about what Obama and his crew are up to. That does not mean Obama is mad; it means Woodward´s assumptions are wrong. Remember, when the facts no longer fit the theory, change the theory.

Obama is in effect saying "Unless you give me the matches I need to burn down your house, I will poison your dog." He is waving your dead cat in front of your face to drive home his point.

And it is going to get worse.

It is good to hear Woodward starting to take notice, late in the game though it is.

He is starting to take notice - but he doesn´t yet appear to understand what he is seeing. If he did, he wouldn´t call what Obama is trying to do "madness." It is not madness at all. It is deliberate attempt "to fundamentally change the United States of America." Either Obama gets what he wants -higher taxes and more spending- or the wheels begin to come off. Either way, from his point of view, he wins.

He could never get away with this if the electorate did not allow it.

The problem is not Obama. There have always been people like Obama. The problem is a citizenry and a media too ignorant of history and American values to recognize them for what they are.

It ain´t the Prez, who is just another tiresome sophomoric campus radical doing his thing. It´s the people who put him in office and kept him there who are the problem.

We definitely have a mentally deranged person sitting in the White House. Everything about him is wrong. Lies constantly, never keeps his promises, runs around back and forth like a clown to address phony made up emergencies while appearing to be doing "something useful". When a real emergency comes along like Benghazi he is nowhere to be found and then constantly misleads about it. He is vindictive towards the American people who don´t agree with him. Everything he touches turns to rubbish. The scary part is, when this house-of-cards-regime comes tumbling down, it is going to bring the rest of us down with it.

In 1927, Jozef Stalin summoned the Russian neurologist Bekhterev to give a medical examination of the dictator. Later that day, Bekhterev returned to a medical meeting and told colleagues, "I have just examined a paranoiac with a short, dry hand." Stalin´s left arm was shorter and weaker than the other. The following day, Bekhterev was poisoned and died. He was killed for calling Stalin a "paranoiac." He did not mention Stalin by name, but his medical colleagues knew exactly whom he was talking about. Writing in European Neurology, the historian Juerg

Is the Constitution becoming the left´s new target? That thought struck me the other night over dinner with my liberal friend, a lawyer and part-time professor. Among his choice statements, "Maybe it´s time to get rid of the Constitution and start over." No doubt he was echoing the sentiments of Georgetown law professor, Louis Michael Seidman, who suggested just that in a New York Times op-ed. It´s been several weeks since Seidman made his remarks, and now, it appears, the floodgates are open. Liberals feel they can speak freely about their true intentions for our country.

For the first time in my adult life, I am not proud of the First Lady. Mrs. Obama is frequently compared to Marie Antoinette. She spends hundreds of millions of dollars a year on her own pleasure and aggrandizement while urging the peasants to plant gardens. And for the first time in American history, we have a president who insults us across the world, disavows the idea that American is special, enriches our enemies such as the Muslim Brotherhood, and degrades our achievements ("You didn´t build that."). Metaracism instilled in the Obamas the tragedy of ingratitude.

Obama now reigns over Versailles on the Potomac. And America´s taxpayers are the vassals who bankroll the opulence of King Louis-Barack and Michelle Antoinette." Deroy Murdock (Hoover Institute, Scripts Howard) nails it in his National Review article. King Louis-Barack and his family really know how to share your pain. The "we´re all in this together" seer of America´s hope and change takes our bucks and we keep the change. "Let them eat lentils" is Michelle Antoinette´s airy solution to her growing food-stamp constituency (is M-Antoinette embarrassed at the girth of her loyal cohort?).

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per

The lousy March jobs report jolted financial markets Friday, and understandably so. In a trend that has defined this weakest of all modern economic recoveries, the jobless rate keeps falling but largely because the labor force keeps shrinking. The unemployment rate fell to a new four-year low of 7.6%, from 7.7% in February. Good news, except the main reason for the decline was that nearly half a million Americans (496,000) left the civilian labor force. They retired, quit working, went back to school or gave up looking for work. The economy created a net 88,000 new jobs

THE elementary-school shootings in Newtown, Conn., in December produced two polar public reactions: fear among some Americans that the federal government will restrict gun rights, and hope among others that it will actually do so. Colorado, New York State and, most recently, Connecticut have clamped down on guns, while states like Texas, where I live, are considering legislation that would try to block the enforcement of federal gun regulations. The uncertain approach to guns is good for no one, except perhaps for gunmakers, whose sales have skyrocketed. Lost in this confusion and anxiety is the possibility

Austerity Is Not to Blame

Politics: Democrats were quick to blame the anemic March jobs number on the "sequester" spending cuts. If that were the case, what explains the previous four years of lousy job growth under Obama? At 88,000, the jobs growth in March was well below expectations. And while the unemployment rate dropped, that was the result of hundreds of thousands dropping out of the labor force who as a result aren´t counted as unemployed. Democrats, of course, tried to pin the blame for this on Republicans for allegedly pushing austerity measures. White House economic adviser Alan Krueger complained

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
