If he’s also “clinically depressed,” then we’re a lucky people. If he were bi-polar, I’d be biting my nails.

BTW, what ever happened to that nuclear football that presidents supposedly carry around all the time? Is it stored in a locker somewhere?

“Attack Watch, new Obama campaign site to ‘fight smears,’ becomes laughing stock of the Internet” – Washington Post

Previously, I have pooh-poohed the idea that Obama could have an emotional breakdown but now, I’m beginning to wonder. This paranoia, his insistence on taking a fairly long vacation when so many crises were occurring (earthquakes, wildfires, hurricanes, flooding, etc.) and needing to work up a fresh approach to economic problems to be presented to a joint session of Congress, etc. makes me think it might be possible.

New York Times journalists are reported to be seriously starting to talk about him perhaps having clinical depression.

What’s your latest read on this, Neo?

What a crock, but, nonetheless, Erdogan is employing the soviet strategy which is no small wonder given Erdogan’s (and indeed nearly the whole world’s) courtship of Russia.

On another note, it is hard not to be too ebullient over Turner’s victory. The Democrats poured money and manpower against Turner, but it didn’t work. Wisconsin tolled the tocsin bell and now it’s hell for the Democrat party. It can avail itself of neither money, ground troops or force. It has only one thing, selfish human nature, which, after a while, becomes rather tiresome.

I saw your reply…thank you.

2. Beverly@September 14th, 2011 at 4:47 am, maybe we are learning why most of the Turkish high command recently resigned. Here is the post you mentioned.

Look, there is going to be a war. I’m not sure it’s avoidable. I’m not sure if I even care to avoid it.

People are going to die, and I hope it’s the right people.

I hope he’s wrong but I fear he’s right. Too much hate and craziness in too many places has been sustained for too long.

Unfortunately, I suspect that Ace’s “a war” should be changed to “wars”.

3. We have forgotten the costs of a serious war. The world’s savages, thugs and madmen don’t care.

Nevertheless, knowing that the price may be higher than we expect, we must protect our interests.

Very bad news for the president and other the dems in general

A while back there was a question from Neo about whether Obama might lose his cool and go berserk. He might, or Dems might in the next year.

It’s scary.

The avenue left to Democrats is full on Cloward Piven (Activists sabotage the welfare system; the collapse of the welfare state ignites a political and financial crisis). Democrats won’t be able to do it because there is just not enough machinery in their possession to actually seize and consolidate power even given a complete financial collapse.

We are about to witness an implosion of the Democrat party, a break up of the empire and a naked struggle for survival.

Obama’s getting bad news everywhere…the Solyndra scandal, the Fast and Furious scandal, his sinking approval numbers everywhere (his ultra left core, independents, Hispanics, etc.), and the very negative reaction to his “I want this passed right now” jobs act.

Chances are growing that we will be rid of this empty suit soon. Hopefully he’ll help turn the Senate red too.
