It looks like someone else sees the light about Obama & Co.’s attempts to use a Cloward-Piven like strategy, to overwhelm the system with legislative and regulatory initiatives and policies deliberately intended to make our economic situation incredibly much worse ( see http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2009/11/obamas-disastrous-cloward-piven-strategy-working-like-a-charm-to-destroy-america/#comments )

Don said: “If he’s a knave, he isn’t a brilliant one. Or else Obamacare would be a done deal by now. And the main debate would be cap and trade, at this point.”

Unless Obama care is the distractor for Copenhagen…….

Very interesting analysis Joseph10. Someday someone is going to write a critical psychobiography of dear leader. I suspect they will conclude, as most of us have, that O does not identify himself as part of the US, but as its natural master.
We always come back to the same old question; what will it take for the public to catch on?

I like many have pondered the nature of the faux Christian President of the United States.

In fact on a Shawn Hannity radio show the other day he noted that he was of the view that President Obama did not see evil in Muslim terrorism. I gave further thought to it when I remembered reading an article where the discussion was on whether or not it was pragmatic to attack the President personally as opposed to his policies.

Here is my take.

I think that the President is by nature amoral. By nature he does not know the difference between good and evil so in making decisions he merely falls on the side that his narcissistic personality finds benefits him personally. He is indifferent to making decisions right or wrong just as long as he can get away with it and stay within the law.

This amoral nature is compounded by a personality nurtured by his mother, by liberal, left wing influences (including those who were/are quite evil) and also by the immoral, corrupt Chicago Way which finished off the final product called Barrack Obama. He is therefore an immoral ideologue.

In other words we have an individual who does not know the difference between right or wrong, who is capable of falling on any side of a story depending on how it furthers his ambitions and who has been nurtured and molded by the corruption of liberalism and the Chicago Way. It is a sorry and unfortunate stew for the American people.

This personality crosses over into the perfect snake oil salesman because he has become a master of hiding his cold personality which is something he learnt traversing the world as a biracial individual who also had tinges of the Third World influences in his development. He has no reservations about throwing anyone under the bus who does not advance his ambitions. He keeps certain levels of communication to nods and winks so not to get himself complicit in certain decision-making to protect himself.

Phenomenal politician but a classic snake oil salesman playing with and destroying the most exceptional nation placed on God’s Earth – sorry Allah’s Earth.

A bit OT, but I just saw at Instapundit that VDH has a book coming out next month: How the Obama Administration Threatens Our National Security. Use Neo’s link and put it in your shopping cart.

@Mr Whatsit
Yes, that’s probably the primary reference. Definitely not fabricated. Thanks.

Here’s Fred Barnes in the Weekly Standard on March 9, saying that Obama made the “turns out I’m very good at it” comment to a group of TV anchors a week previously.

In literature, the jester is symbolic of common sense and of honesty, notably in King Lear, the court jester is a character used for insight and advice on the part of the monarch, taking advantage of his license to mock and speak freely to dispense frank observations and highlight the folly of his monarch. This presents a clashing irony as a “greater” man could dispense the same advice and find himself being detained in the dungeons or even executed. Only as the lowliest member of the court can the jester be the monarch’s most useful adviser.
