The Narcissist-In-Chief

It's been quite a while since I have had a good rant about Barry Obama so I guess I need to get it out of my system.

Back in the day it was considered unseemly or impolite to constantly be drawing attention to oneself. Men were to be modest, accept praise reluctantly, and work harder to support yourself and family. Braggarts were disdained and ridiculed behind their backs. Confident men let their actions speak for themselves and confidently let others by example. I am around such men everyday and have a never ending respect for how they lived their lives, raised their families and set examples for us.

Unfortunately these men are dying away and taking with them these wonderful values. What is being left to rule the world and lead our future generations is a bunch of girly men that are being raised in families where the father is either ambivalent or absent, leaving the only people to imprint upon is women. These mothers, try as they might, cannot be a father and the boy grows up confused and insecure in his role as a father and a man.

Okay, before you women drag me back into my cave, let me say that this is a generalization and I am sure we can all come up with examples of men that have succeeded from such an environment. Life is what life is and we do the best when it hands us a bunch of lemons. But when you look and the national divorce rate being over 50% and single parent households being the rule rather than the exception you can see that men have been relegated to a means of financial support only in the future of our nation.

Such is the world our president came from. It is not his fault that his mother made some rather poor choices and that "Good Time Barack Sr." wasn't "down for the struggle" of parenthood. He was carted all over the world never having a clear picture of himself or clear guidance in his development as a man. He grew up a bright boy but very impressionable and people kept telling him how wonderful he was so he began to believe it. His teleprompter skills developed and everyone marveled at his oratory prowess. So what evolved was a shell of a man with a very slick exterior and a hollowness inside.

Have you noticed how many times over the past year and a half he has felt compelled to weigh in on subjects that he really shouldn't be commenting on? He is like the kid in the class that will do anything to get noticed because it is from that recognition that he derives his self worth. So he just can't help himself when the cop at Harvard arrested his friend. He had to not only comment on it inappropriately but further draw attention to himself with the infamous "beer summit". The end result was for him to make light of a situation that he should have left alone. His latest problems with the mosque to be built next to the world trade center site has also resulted in his drawing attention to himself over what is clearly not an debate he needs to enter.

In the final analysis he is a very impressionable man that is being jerked around like a puppet. He has no regard for what he is doing to this country because the important thing to him is making Barry and his friends happy. With some luck his wings will be clipped in November and he can be retired two years later. Then maybe our country will survive.
