Is Obama Losing His Mind?

The hint I had about what an amateur we had as a President came when the Cambridge Police arresting an old friend of President Obama's.  The President's "...police acted stupidly" comment would be quoted over and over again in the weeks and months afterward.  I thought, this guy is not only amateurish, but he's lacking in intelligence.  For example, this week we have heard oral arguments on Obamacare.  This health care intiative by President Obama is the centerpiece of his administration.  But, the U.S. Supreme Court is on the verge of declaring the entire package as unconstitutional.  How is it that a constitutional law professor didn't know his pride and joy could possibly be unconstitutional?  How about he didn't care if it was constitutional or not?  President Obama has only one thought process.  That being, his way or no way.  Only he can be right.  Everyone else is either wrong or just plain stupid.  He is the most conceited President we have ever had. That brings me to my next point.

The President's "open mic" moment with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev is something that puzzles even the most ardent Obama supporter.  Why couldn't he have waited to tell Medvedev that he wanted to wait until after the election so he could have more "flexibility" in dealing with the missile defense system that scares Russia so much?  The first question that pops into one's head; did Obama mean he was going to give Russia what they wanted and to hell with the safety of the United States?  Probably not.  Or possibly he did.  No one knows.  But, it was a strange moment.  It was a moment that one almost would be inclined to believe was done on purpose.  For what reason, no one knows.  No one knows why he stated that Travon Martin would look just like a son Obama would have if Obama had a son.  What exactly was that suppose to infer?  Why would President Obama, once again, get involved with a local incident that now shows the potential of spiraling out of control?  It borders on being totally weird. And why take on the Catholic church over contraceptives back in January?  It is sheer lunacy.

I hate to think what a second term of President Obama would bring.  President Obama appears to be letting the job drive him insane.  Not insane in the sense that the pressure is getting too much for him.  I say he is becoming insane with power and all it encompasses.  This President does not see himself as just the head of the executive branch of government.  In Obama's mind, he is the government.  There is no Legislative branch, there is no Judicial branch.  There is only President Barack Obama.  His "open mic" moment is an indication of just this fact.

The President Acted Stupidly

 

As everyone and his uncle must know by now, Trayvon Martin, a 17 year old kid in Florida, was shot and killed by George Zimmerman.  The news media has made it known, loud and clear, Mr. Zimmerman is a "white Hispanic."  What the hell is the relevancy of that?  Anyway, at first, the news was that Zimmerman chased down Trayvon and shot him.  Now, witnesses are coming forward to say that it was just the opposite.  In fact, witnesses say it was Trayvon who was the aggressor. Some witnesses said that Trayvon punched Zimmerman, and banged his head on the pavement.  I'm not sure how a full grown man can be that easily overcome by a 17 year old.  Be that as it may, Zimmerman now appears to have had little choice but to shoot the kid under Florida's "self-defense law."  Trayvon's parents are demanding the arrest of Zimmerman, the New Black Panther Party has issued a bounty for George Zimmerman, dead or alive.  I thought that was illegal now.  Regardless, mob rule appears to be shaping up in Florida with the righteous Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton stirring up trouble.  These two race baiters are always looking for an easy buck.  You would think Black people would catch on to these two clowns by now.  Unfortunately, that is not the case.

Enter one President of the United States with nothing better to do.  Once again, President Obama has to get himself embroiled in a local issue.  The comment itself was innocent enough.  "You know, if I had a son he'd look like Trayvon, and I think they are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves," the President said.  Well, does this mean if it was a white kid or a Hispanic kid that was killed, it would be ok to just let that go by?  Neither one would look like the President.  Where was President Obama, when in just one weekend, 49 people were shot in his hometown of Chicago?  Ten of those were killed, including a six-year old Hispanic girl.  Where is President Obama's comment about her?  Oh, that's right!  The President doesn't have a daughter that looks like this little girl.  So, one has to believe her death is considered just collateral damage in the Windy City.  This is the same President who stated the Cambridge Police Department "acted stupidly" before he had all the facts.  He was royally blasted for this.  It appears Obama does not learn from the mistakes of history.  He has gotten himself involved in another local issue in which he knows nothing about.  He has instructed the Justice Department to look into the Trayvon Martin case.  At last report, nothing about this President demanding a Justice Department probe into the death of the little six-year old girl in Chicago.

Santorum Needs To Step Aside

To use a euphemism popular since the 70s, Rick Santorum has "jumped the shark."  Rick Santorum said (and this is a direct quote), “If they’re going to be a little different, we might as well stay with what we have instead of taking a risk of what may be the Etch A Sketch candidate for the future.”  Basically, Rick Santorum was saying that Republicans should give President Obama another term if he (Santorum) is not the Republican nominee.  That, my friends, is one of the most outrageous things I have ever heard a candidate,  for either party, ever say.  To suggest that Republicans should vote for the most radical Left-wing President in U.S. history, if he isn't the Republican nominee, is both reckless and petty.  Ok, it is also childish as hell. It's like the kid that owns the baseball at a sandlot game.  Either I'm the pitcher or I take my baseball and go home.  I knew that Rick Santorum was bitter about the way the Illinois Primary went for him.  But, I never knew he was this self-consumed.  There are some things bigger than yourself and your own aspirations.  The main focus is beating President Barack Obama so he does not have a second term to finish destroying the United States of America.  Rick Santorum has made it clear he doesn't care about the main Republican goal.  The only goal that counts is Rick Santorum as Republican nominee.  Everything else is just "clutter" to this man-child.

I want to make it clear that Mitt Romney was not my first choice for the Republican nomination.  But, compared to Barack Obama, there is no other choice, in my opinion.  Sure, Romney is a moderate and wishy-washy.  But, what can you say about Rick Santorum now?  He is a man that places his own best interests above those of the American people.  The best interest of the American people is to have President Obama known after November as "former President Obama."  But, Rick Santorum now thinks having an Obama second-term is what Republicans should consider if he is not the Republican nominee.    This statement by Rick Santorum is inexcusable.  Nothing he says will make up for this ridiculous comment concerning Obama over Mitt Romney.  I consider this statement even more strange coming from a man who paints himself as the "only true, viable conservative Republican" in the race.  One has to consider now if that is just mere hyperbole by a man who has seen his dream vanish before his eyes.  Ironically, it was Rick Santorum that put the finishing touches of ending that dream.  Rick Santorum is done.

Malia Obama Spring Break in Mexico

It appears that the White House is trying to shut down any news about President Obama's eldest daughter, along with 12 friends, spending spring break in Mexico.  That alone is news.  But, now, the White House is trying to get all news agencies to pull news stories about Malia Obama being there for "security reasons."  I find that a remarkable statement.  If they were concerned about security in the first place, would they allow their daughter to go to one of the most violent countries this side of Afghanistan?  Then let's consider that the U.S. government (yes, the same government her father allegedly leads) has a travel advisory about vacationing in Mexico during spring break.  To ensure security, 25 Secret Service agents have to travel along at taxpayer expense, of course.  That's right.  We are footing the bill for this 13 year old child to go to the most violent country in North America on her spring break.  Along with 12 of her closest friends, of whom I assume, also get this protection from the Secret Service.  If Barack and Michelle Obama were just ordinary parents, people would be asking them if they had their heads screwed on straight for allowing their child in drug war-torn Mexico.  As it is, this story is disappearing all over the internet. 

I'm not buying the security excuse as to why this story has disappeared completely from electronic, print and web media.  I think this has more to do with the criticism of the First Family taking so many vacations at taxpayer expense.  That criticism, especially in a Presidential Election year, is starting to have an effect. This story is disappearing for reasons not stated by the White House.  I find it odd this story disappeared from The Huffington Post (linked to Yahoo and had nothing about Malia vacation).  Some sites are saying "Leave the kids alone."  That same advice did not ever make it's way to the trouble plagued twins of George W. Bush.  If they fell down in a club, it made news the next day they were drunk.  This story is just another in a long line of the media's double standard.  I make note of the Obama daughter's vacation here simply because I find it appalling that President Obama feels that rules not only do not apply to him, but they do not apply to his entire family.  The Obamas should be making a statement Mexico is not safe for other American kids.  Instead, they are promoting spring break to Mexico by allowing Mailia to go.  The message this sends to other American kids (those without Secret Service protection) is unconscionable.
