President-of-the-World Obama is at it again. Apparently he feels the problems in this country are too small for him, or they have all been solved. His wisdom and greatness are too important to be squandered on only one nation. They must be made available to save the entire world.
In his latest initiative, Obama takes “I’m from the Government, and I’m here to help you” across national borders. Breitbart reports on the call for a conference on entrepreneurship:
The White House on Friday announced a “summit on entrepreneurship” to build economic ties with the Islamic world, part of President Barack Obama’s outreach to Muslims.
The White House said it has invited participants from more than 40 countries over five continents for the April 26-27 conference in Washington.
On one level, this initiative is laughable, undoubtedly worthy fodder for several Saturday Night Live and Jon Stewart skits. On another, it reflects a serious situation — the continuing delusional nature of Obama and his Administration.
The “summit” represents more TV face-time for the President, a Pavlovian response by the White House to all problems. The public has soured on what is seen as Obama’s endless campaigning. They want constructive action rather than continued platitudes and campaign slogans.”Talk is cheap” is an axiom the White House does not seem to get.
Approval polls are in free-fall. Obama, at this stage, is well ahead in his race to displace President Jimmy Carter as the worst president of the past several generations. He shows all of Carter’s ineptitude, without Carter’s sincerity. Desperation regarding the unpopular healthcare bill is making Obama look like the next Joe Isuzu, the fictitious liar in Isuzu commercials. Truth must not stand in the way of a sale.
Does the White House not understand how farcical their actions have become? Are they clueless or incompetent? Both hypotheses fit the facts. Making a definitive choice between them (both could be valid) is not possible at this point.
Now, we have Obama about to pretend that he is Peter Drucker, world’s greatest management guru. Here is a man with zero business experience, surrounded by advisers with similarly deficient experience. Yet, Obama and his advisers believe that he is competent to lecture the world on entrepreneurship.
Would it be impolite to ask what he has done to further entrepreneurship in this country? Have any of his prescriptions and proposals helped entrepreneurs? If so, which ones? If foreign leaders care at all about their economies, they will separate themselves from this conference. Investment and hiring in this country stopped when Obama’s “solutions” rolled out.
We have a President who believes he is always the smartest man in the room, no matter what room. Actually, he is always the least experienced and probably least qualified in any room. The fact of the matter is that he has no experience in anything.
What is known of his background includes stints as a “community organizer” and adjunct professor. What skills are required to be a community organizer? What experience is gleaned? No experience that is useful or transferable to an executive role.
Obama’s short stint as a professor of Constitutional Law was unremarkable in any academic sense. No evidence of writing or publishing can be found. The most notable aspect was his interpretation of the Constitution. He views the Constitution as a “living document,” open to changes that produce “social justice.” In effect, other than as a quaint artifact of history, for Obama the Constitution does
not exist.
Despite this vacuous background, Obama believes he knows more about medicine than doctors, more about business than businessmen and more about creating jobs than entrepreneurs. This sad litany could be continued ad nauseum. There is no evidence within the past year that Obama does not believe he has more to contribute than anyone else on any topic in any field.
A rational man with such limited background would defer to those wiser than he. Instead, Obama presents himself to be an expert on all things. Does he not see how ridiculous this makes him look in the eyes of the public? What must audiences of doctors, businessmen or entrepreneurs think about this man-child with zero experience? One can only imagine the disgust and anger they must feel.
“Don’t worry, I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night” may work for TV but not as a governing strategy. Yet, Obama must believe that he received more than a good night’s sleep. In his mind, he appears to believe he is something special, something larger than his office. A messianic image was part of his campaign. It appears that he bought the image. “The One” is an image clearly in conflict with reality. The polite word for such behavior is “delusional.”
I am not a psychologist or psychiatrist and do not pretend to have such skills. But any observant person will see the President’s behavior as bizarre, if not outright dangerous. James Lewis detailed the President’s extreme narcissism as have others. In Lewis’ words:
The question is what real damage Obama may do to the country. This man has been entrusted with the greatest power in the world.
The issue can be understood on a human as opposed to a clinical level. What would you do if your best friend believed that he was more knowledgeable than astrophysicists, oncologists, economists, businessmen, or scientists? What if he believed this so strongly that he felt he was entitled to “teach” practitioners in these fields? As a friend, you would presumably get him professional help. Our President is behaving like your friend.
To be sure, other Presidents have rebuked industries or professions. Eisenhower came down hard on the military-industrial complex; Kennedy did so with the steel industry. Others have chosen whipping boys for both good reasons and political ones. None, however, presumed they were smarter than everyone else. Other than Obama, no one believed they had unique knowledge that it was applicable everywhere and could improve everything.
The President’s behavior is clearly delusional and likely messianic. While he sees himself as some modern-day, handsomer version of Yoda, more of the rest of the nation are beginning to see him as a sick puppy holding the highest office in the land. He appears to be marching to a tune that is only audible to him. Where are his friends, and why do they not intervene? Are they afraid to confront him with reality?
For the sake of the nation, if not for the sake of the man, someone must confront this problem. Delusional behavior is dangerous under any circumstances. It is potentially devastating when it afflicts the head of the world’s most powerful country.
Does Obama not have a friend who will intervene? Are they all such political toadies and ideologues that they will sacrifice him and the country to achieve their goals?

Barack Obama in addition to all his liberal mafia really should be embarrassed with themselves. This really is a total outrage. I’d been under the idea that once the president takes office he is obligated to swear an oath to support along with protect the constitution of the united states. Nowhere within the Constitution did it give the government the right to enact or enforce laws such as the medical care reform bill. It’s my opinion that these power mongers will probably be in for a genuine shock around November. Congratulations at the collapse of your political careers.
Nickelthrower, Ouch. Such nasty language and ad hominem attacks! Way to lead via example. You don’t want attacks on Obama’s experience but you lash out at me for asking to see his transcripts and a couple academic papers. So he ran an excellent campaign. I will grant you that. But I have a problem with lying–though he is a most radical leftest candidate in history, he ran as a moderate. Obama even criticized the Bush deficits. Now look at us! So the honest question about what business or executive experience Obama had before becoming president leads you to employ a disgustingly filthy term to describe those who are unhappy with Washington, and this is directed at me, who has never attended a tea party because I live in Canada and I don’t so much as watch Glenn Beck that I could be inspired by him.
I assume this response was not directed at me.
Monty: No, at Nickelthrower. Sorry if that wasn’t clear. If you like, please put the words in there “to Nickelthrower”; I can’t edit it. Cheers

Exactly. You are the exact reason we shouldn’t stoop down to personal attacks.
I will gladly discuss public policy but I’m sick of these “birthers”, Teabaggers and their Glenn Beck inspired rants. Get yourself elected if you think it is so easy and make sure you show everyone your qualifications.
Excellent! If I could write like this I would be well happpy. The more I read articles of such quality as this (which is rare), the more I think there could be a future for the Net. Keep it up, as it were.
Obama received an advanced degree? Which one was that? Can we please see his transcripts and an academic paper or two that he’s written (without the help of Bill Ayers)?
He was elected to State Senator, where? Illinois? How is that state’s financial situation? Does he have executive experience, running something like a city, a state or a small business? What experience does he have that would have prepared him to run a country?
I would like to start out by stating that I am not an Obama supporter. As a matter of fact, I supported Ralph Nader in the last election because I knew that Obama was not going to be able to do a thing to get us out of the mess that we were in.
That said, I disagree with the author of this article when he states that Obama hasn’t accomplished much and is inexperienced. Lets see. . .
He managed to obtain an advanced degree which, if I remember correctly, isn’t the easiest thing to do. Last time I checked, most Americans did not have an advanced degree.
He managed to get himself elected as State Senator, Illinois Senator and President of the United States. Not an easy task by any means – no at all
I see no reason to “simple-mind” the attack on the president. We only need to look at the failed policies for they are convincing enough. We should skip the personal attacks because it doesn’t help the cause.
As far as I’m concerned, the position is too kingly for my taste and we shouldn’t waste precious time worrying about what one man may or may not do.
Hey this is a great post. I’m going to email this to my buddies. I stumbled on this while googling for some music downloads, I’ll be sure to visit regularly. thanks for sharing.
