How can so many be so right about this fellow, easy, it is because he is not dealing with a full deck. The power of the presidency has gone to his head. He has made so many bad decisions that have been pointed out over the past 6 years that it is taking it's toll. I suspect every thing we read or hear from people in power all over the world who point out his bad decisions can't be wrong. If it were one now and then okay but it is becoming a chorus. I wonder how bad it is going to get for the remainder of 0's term? All I can say is brace your selves.

You deserve an honorary doctorate.

I had attributed Obama's over the top positions as simply leftist ideology, but when he began addressing military audiences, stating that the biggest threat to our national interests was climate change, I began to suspect he was a few cards shy of a full deck.

Excellent Susanne. +1

"Slipping into" alleges this is a new condition. Perhaps the qualifier "Slipping DEEPER into insanity..."?

The situation we are in with Obama as President is
the fault of the stupid b--t--ds who voted for him.As
to the shrink making those comments, as much as
I despise Obama, I remember an article Ayn Rand
wrote about "The Psychology of Psychologizing", where she wrote of some psy-
chiatrists (or psychologists? or both?) "permit-
ting themselves" to diagnose "a man they had
never met." And she expressed satisfaction at
Goldwater's winning his suit against them.

BHO like many other politicians is addicted to power! He will soon go from being the most powerful man in this world to completely powerless. He sees his legacy going to rubble and also sees that he will be rated one of the worst Presidents this country has ever had. Of course he is mad, angry, afraid and most of all not yet done dismantling anything he can that this country cherishes. His most telling quote, "I will stand with the Muslims" and he certainly has. Expect to see his Executive Order pen working over time in the next 12 months.

Obama is pathologically ideological. His belief structure combined with his ego drives his actions. As a result he is so completely convinced that he is right that objective reality plays no part in his thinking. His goals go far beyond collectivism. He wants to destroy anything and everything that conflicts with his world view. Is that insanity? Or is it something far worse?

I don't want to give him that excuse.

I don't want to give BHO the McNaghten Excuse: that he cannot tell right from wrong. Or the Durfee Excuse: that he is irresistibly impelled to do what he does.

He knows what he's doing.

Let him get what's coming to him.

I think he's evasive and angry, for sure. But where does the ideological stance transition to certified cuckoo?

Of course, a bad philosophy can cause mental health issues (i.e. David Hume). Holding contradictions is a great way to achieve raving lunacy. Stalin said a lie told often enough becomes the truth. I think we can certify him as a sociopath (Rand called his kind the Attila). For Obama, the only consistent outcome to his policies have been to divide the US into fragments and erode its foundation. That is to say, he is eroding capitalism. Name it: Obama-Care, Guantanamo, Cuba, Syria, military spending, prison reform, etc.

Thankfully, he has not totally understood or been courageous enough to severely limit individual rights. But the libtards fill that gap. These political Jotun erode that by giving anatomically male students the right to shower with anatomically female students.
All these negations make our enemies feel stronger. The extremist elements wish to institute Sharia law and can use Taqiya (defined as communicating falsehoods in order to protect Islam) to implement double standards. We are expected to want to limit real rights (life, liberty, property) because of the absurdity of fake rights (economic, educational, etc.).

That is, invent fake rights to erode real rights, take control of the culture, take control of the economics, take control of the individuals. Change your story each time because there are no objective principles but mob rule.. that's what's happening. It's an ingenious power ploy to get back at... the happy for being the happy, the successful for being the successful, the good for being the good.

Obama is not so far from this set of beliefs. Does that make him crazy? It doesn't matter as much as the fact that it makes him dangerous.

That was 40 years ago, wasn't it? While he was being indoctrinated. Simply insane now. :)

if the good doctor had said that BHO was slipping further
into insanity, I might have agreed more. -- j
