I seriously doubt you would harbor similar opinions concerning Marine’s Front party or PEGIDA if they were to gain majority rule in their respective regions and countries.

He’s STILL fighting against his grandmother — from the position of a Gonnabee.

Obama is certainly misguided and narcissistic and he does indeed have a very clear plan, which in no way obviates a deeply held, malicious motivation. It’s not one or the other but both. His narcissism is psychological compensation for a deep insecurity. His ‘misguided’ ideology the intellectual rationalization used to justify in his own mind, his racism and Marxism.

Everything Obama has embraced in his life is rationalization to justify his narcissistic defense of his deeply held inferiority complex.

That’s an interesting question. I can only guess at the answer.

Obama is a narcissist of large magnitude. As such he really does believe he is the best, the most wonderful, the smartest, etc. But even if he is always the smartest person in the room not everything can always go perfectly. I would imagine he thinks it’s a mark of his superiority that, even though he’s superior to everyone else, he still believes he can learn from his (very rare) mistakes and widen the gap between him and the rest of the world.

I think it’s a huge mistake to consider Obama “just a small-time guy who got lucky.”

He is either, as Geoffrey Britain writes above, “a racist Marxist with strong Muslim sympathies” who would like to wound America and/or transform it to his liking, or he’s as author Rodan describes, misguided and narcissistic but with a very clear plan that he’s following. In either case, his election was not “lucky,” it was the product of decades of planning and cunning, not merely by Obama but by other leftists who recognized his value and helped him along the way.

At this point, I wonder whether he still believes that, or if he’s play-acting it out now. I see two mutually exclusive and exhaustive cases (someone help me with my logic here if they are not mutually exclusive and exhaustive).

Case 1 — Every instance of events not working out in an optimal fashion is the inevitable result of people simply failing to appreciate his superior vision and intelligence.

Case 2 — There are instances, however isolated, in which he brings himself to accept that there are areas of expertise in which there is still something for him to learn, still room for him to grow. But he continues to act as if there are none.

I’m wondering, not asserting. I know he’s awfully far gone as to his being convinced that he is “smarter, more reasonable, craftier, more perceptive, more persuasive, more whatever-is-needed” than anyone anywhere.

What I’m wondering of it’s an absolute, metaphysical axiom for him, or whether there is any room for him to secretly concede there’s room for growth (it has to be secret, because he’s got to maintain that self-image).

Is that a direct quote?

Specifically, his early Muslim childhood in Indonesia, which he remembers with great fondness. His communist mentor Frank Marshall Davis’s influence in his teen years, a mentorship supported by his communist sympathizing grandparents. His 25 year attendance and ‘spiritual’ mentorship by the hate filled, black liberation theologian ‘Reverend’ Wright. And not to be underestimated, the political advisement of domestic terrorist Bill Ayers.

Barack Obama is willfully blind to the results of his foreign policy because he is a racist Marxist with strong Muslim sympathies. If he can’t “fundamentally transform” America, he’ll settle for mortally wounding it.
