But I think Occam’s Razor can give us a very simple explanation. Obama has never been in a serious fight in his life; he has always had things handed to him. On the rare occasions when he really did have to fight, he found ways to get his opponent disqualified, thereby ending the fight before it had really begun.

Romney clearly didn’t get the memo. He’s supposed to talk like Chris Matthews and run a campaign even milder than that of John McCain; he’s a Mormon, for goodness’ sake, one of those nice-nice guys who doesn’t swear or smoke or drink caffeine! He’s supposed to be a gentleman, and enter the boxing ring wearing white kid gloves.

But Romney has chosen to fight… and perhaps for the first time in his life, Obama’s own words are being thrown in his face, as are his achievements, such as they are.

What’s not to hate?

“Brit-Think, Americ-Think,” a book outlining cultural differences between the two countries, included the aspirations of citizens of the two countries. For the Brits, it was “to be a victim of circumstance.”

I believe Obama can’t stand Romney because Romney represents EVERYTHING that Obama is against.

Oh, no dispute, but even in little things that it’s actually hard to mess up, he’s demonstrated a degree of ineptness that is beyond even what *I* expected, and I, when he got the nom, predicted that he would make everyone appreciate the mound of quivering incompetence that was the Jimmy Carter presidency.

I contend that statement borders on prescience, it’s been so accurate.

From the initial forays into meeting with foreign leaders (the lame gifts to the Queen and PM of England to the bowing to other world leaders) — all avoidable if you only pay attention to the protocol experts that ARE going to automatically on your staff — to the foreign policy “triumphs” with Ahmadamnutjob, he’s just been an arrogant tool all around.

If he can get himself re-elected after doing all the things he’s done, it will be a sign that America IS doomed, because the capacity for any form of critical thinking in the populace has gone too low.

Clearly, she can’t make a fully professional diagnosis, but she does repeatedly detail the evidence suggesting it on her site.

Here are two:

NARCISSISM, PATHOLOGICAL LYING, AND POLITICS

A Lesson in Narcississtic Rage

This is a slightly different topic:

SHAME, GUILT, THE MUSLIM PSYCHE, AND THE DANISH CARTOONS

This one’s pretty good, too — I give you the third because it has links to parts 1 and 2 as well, read them in order:

STRATEGIES FOR DEALING WITH DENIAL – Part III

She posts less than she used to, but the site is very good for viewing the intersection between politics and psychology, and a lot of the back-entries are very informative regarding the whys and wherefores of how psychology works, particularly applied to the left and islam.

In her postings, she’s much more focused on the psychology of things than Neo is. Not a criticism by any means — just an observation. I think the two sites have a nice level of overlap without covering the same things.

too weak to admit Obama had done a single thing right as president.

How can you be too weak to admit something that is manifestly untrue.

I’d be hard pressed to “admit” anyhting The One has done right because, off the top of my head, I can’t recall a single thing.

I guess the fact that he didn’t just yank us out of Iraq or Afghanistan might fit the bill, but even there, he STILL managed to do it wrong, by not making it about results rather than a time line.

But it’s good practice.

(At one time, I considered putting estimated probabilities on such pieces, but decided it was too much work.)
