Obama can't spell much without 'I'

  • Follow Letters

Narcissism, a personality disorder which affects less than 1 percent of adults, is characterized by an individual's self-admiration and love. In our present dictionary, it is accompanied by a picture of Barack Obama.

I have observed presidents from Harry Truman to Barack Obama, and one thing has remained constant throughout all of those administrations: Our presidents and their administrations have worked as teams in leading this nation. They have referred to their efforts in terms like "we" and "our," and avoided the pronoun "I" whenever possible.

They've done that because they saw themselves as presidents and chief executive officers, not emperors or kings.

Mr. Obama seems to have a singular admiration for himself. That's narcissism!

It is "I" did this or that, "my" legislation or law - never we or our.

I encouraged the American people to wake up before last year's election, and it appears that they have. Now that Mr. Obama is in office, I encourage all Americans to take particular note of his use of terms and words.

He is not as articulate as the media would ask the electorate to believe. He regularly misplaces an "a" or "an," "I" or "me," but never misses the opportunity to aggrandize himself and his accomplishments.

It's not just about health care. It's about the systematic dismantling of our nation from TARP to the auto industry buyouts, AIG and Wall Street interference, "cash for clunkers" and banking reforms.

He has not addressed immigration, Social Security or Medicare (this only in the negative), or Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac reforms.

The same Democrat initiatives that forced us into the current recession have not been repaired or addressed.

The big "I" has been too busy attempting to dismantle our country

"I" can provide all of you

"I" can provide all of you with change. Thank God, because you are taking all of our money and blowing it faster in 6 months than President Bush did in 8 years, even with a democratic congress the last few years.

Why don't you explain it

Why don't you explain it cajanna? Is it the fact that barry is a 'chevez" wannabe....that his socilalist aganda is not what the people want...that the people are now realizing they were duped by an empty suit and that he answers to the loony left without a single original thought of his own? Could that be the real problem?

There is a cartoon first

There is a cartoon first published by the Chicago Tribune in 1934 that shows a cart being pulled by a donkey hauling men drunk on power throwing money into the wind. On the bottom left is a man with a large board spelling out the Plan of Action for the US. "SPEND!SPEND!SPEND! Under the guise of recovery-Bust the Government - Blame the Capitalists for the Failure-Junk the Constitution and declare a Dictatorship". Seems even this idea of Obams's is borrowed from a previous administration. The man does not have one thought of his own.

I can tell you what the

I can tell you what the problem is cajunnana....I don't like socialism. I don't like Marxism. I don't like the idea of spending Trillions of dollars in order to get out of debt. I don't like the idea of a President seizing control of the census department and putting it under his cabinet. I don't like the idea of usurping congressional oversight and approval by hiring countless czars. I don't like numerous tax cheats on the cabinet. Why don't YOU really tell us why you are ok with all of this......let it out....come on....you know why you support him.

You all still ignore the 1.3

You all still ignore the 1.3 TRILLION addition to the deficit by Dub and his tax breaks to the wealthy, most of which you idiots don't even get to use. You've been subzidizing the wealthy, whom you idolize, but will never be.

GACopperhead on Tue Aug 25,

GACopperhead on Tue Aug 25, 2009 5:03 AM Any body earning a living and paying any income tax is rapidly becoming a target for the left! Since so many of you lefties want everybody else to do for you what you won't do for your self I have come up with a program you can sign up for that will helpyou level the playing field, help those less fortunate than you and let you also contribute to solving the health care problems. It is called kidney's for caring. GAC you can give a kidney to one of the thousands if not 10's of million (I can make up statistics like Obumbler) that have no functioning kidneys! Through no falult of their own these people have lost renal function! You can get along with just one that works! Why deny those that don't have any kidney function. Everybody is one infection, one accident or one wrong choice away from not having kidney function! You have a moral obligation, GAC, to help your fellow man when you are so blessed by fate with two kidneys, Are you going to be selfish and deny some one in such a disparate situation a kidney! YOU can afford to give a kidney!! Like congress and the president I am too special to participate in this program.

My posts are to illustrate

My posts are to illustrate the hypocricy of the REpublicans and you who only oppose what's going on because you lost to Democrats. I am absolutely sure that if this were being done by McCain/Palin, you would all be falling over yourselves lavishing praise on the policies. Bush started this mess, promoted it and then took credit during the false boom. It was Bush that said, all while risky loans were being doled out under Republican watch, "more people own their own homes than ever before". It was John McCAin who, just days before the collapse said "the economy is strong". The Republican party disputed warnings by economists all during the Bush admonistration, and you guys all backed their opinion. These arguments are nothing more than sour grapes.

Sorry to burst the letter

Sorry to burst the letter writer's bubble but the majority of the people in America are narcissistic. It's the "ME" attitude... from the thug who stealing other people's property to the CEO who stealing millions while laying off his workers. None of these people care about others but themselves.

Ga Copper, your hypocracy is

Ga Copper, your hypocracy is in your continued posting showing that you spend money on an internet connection, and apparently a high speed one, while you continually grouse about the fact that you can't afford healthcare! Pull out your EBT card, go get yourself a 40 and place your head back into the source of the nightsoil of a large male bovine creature! Oh, and while you're at it shine up those gold rims on that jacked up hoopdie!

GACopper, you seem to be becoming angrier and angrier per your posts.There must be something personal in your life going on. Otherwise, if you indeed like Obama, you should be pleased and confident that things are getting better or are going to get better. So why the increasing angst? You are so angry with those who make more money than you do. Why not go back to school part time and remedy that for yourself?

The approval ratings are

The approval ratings are dropping every day because the kool-aid drinkers are finally seeing the mulatto muslim messiah for what he really is not! He is not the savior for all things bad as he portrayed himself in the campaigning. He does not have the answers, he is quite simply a silver-tongued snake oil salesman with a nice suit and a great teleprompter. And now this chump is launching a criminal investigation against the personnel who interrogated the murdering muslim terrorists who launched attacks against this country??? I think not!!! The citizens of this country must begin the purge in 2010 by voting out anyone foolish to align with Prezbho, and finish the drill in 2012 by sending him back to the Chicago mafia crime family.

Right now, our Narcissist in

Right now, our Narcissist in Chief is neither a leader nor a decider. He is a reader of platitudes and a conductor for the uninformed and misinformed choir. The misinformed part is shrinking rapidly and the "leadership" is more in question than ever. Those of us objecting to this crazy experiment (from a position of informed intelligence) from the beginning are being proven correct. In 2010 we must take action to reduce the ability of this narcissist to further shackle and encumber our country. This change offered by Obama isn't what the country hoped for. This horrible experiment must end.

You guys are a hoot. I work.

You guys are a hoot. I work. I pay for my food. I pay my taxes. I don't drink. I'm a Christian. I'm all the things that you radical Republicnas want to claim for yourselves. Obama is doing the things that must be done, short of the correct ones, as suggested by the only decent Republicna candidate, Ron Paul. The economic problems toay are caused by the fact that our money, and the economy are based on GDP and it must be sustained by ever more increasing spending requiring the use of more and more credit. Eliminate the Fed, put the country's money back on the gold standard so that it's actually worth something, end speculation, RESTRICT CREDIT. A public option for health insurance terrifies the insurance companies, who have gone from the idea of reducing health care costs by pooling a group of people's money, to a pure motivation of making PROFIT. They are MIDDLE men, who do NOTHING but raise costs, tell you what procedures you can and can't have and collude with the medical profession and for profit hospitals to keep costs high( a monopoly by any standards). Republicans refuse to address the FACT that more and more private companies are dropping subsidies for insurance.

55 F-100, "mulatto muslim messiah" that is why the far right like yourself isn't taken seriously. As for polls and 2010/2012 show many any poll where the republican congress polls higher than the democratic congress. Also, show me a poll where any republican polls ahead of President Obama.

What will you do when YOUR

What will you do when YOUR employer says, as you do to 40 million people, "I don't care if you have insurance or not, I'm gonna get mine, I won't SUBSIDIZE you any more." ? You're no different than those you insult, deride and dehumanize, you just get subsidized by a different benefactor, pretending that it is a part of your earnings. Well, if it is EARNED, you should pay taxes on it, just like I pay taxes on my earnings.

GACopperhead on Tue Aug 25,

GACopperhead on Tue Aug 25, 2009 6:36 As a christian you should be aware of Paul's admonistion, OWE NO MAN ANYTHING BUT LOVE! WE are Trillions in debt, I and many conservatives did not like Bush's deficit spending and I will not defend it! That does not excuse Obama's spending us into ever increasing debt with out a clue how to pay for it. None of Obama's economic projections work. The Congressional Budget Office calls Obama on them all the time. If you think things are bad now wait till the inflation hits! So how do we pay for a progream that will cost between 750 billion to a trillion dollars over ten years? The projected deficit from Obama's spending has just been raised by 2 TRILLION dollars over the next ten years and that does not include health care reform!

Coldbeer, I was a Republican

Coldbeer, I was a Republican until the 2000 campaign. The only reason I voted for Bush was that I saw him as the only alternative to a very poor choice on the Dem side. I hated doing it, because of the Attwater style campaign of lies that Rove used against McCain. That style of false claims, fear tactics and political subterfuge does not and never has benfitted this country. I do not back Obama 100%, but he was the only viable alternative to a poorly informed candidate, whose only platforms were identical to the previous 8 years. I am a moral conservative, but that is MY choice, and unlike the majority of REpublicans, recognise it as PERSONAL choice, and do not believe in forcing my religion or morals on others. KSL, I work an average of 50 or more hours a week, and am on call 24/7/52. Besides the fact that unemployment in GA is over 10%, statistics are proving that now, a degree is no longer a sure way to better employment. Also, If I can't afford insurance, where am I going to get the money for college? The correct option is to FORCE insurance companies and doctors to end their monopoly, and take out the middlemen, who only raise our costs.

GACopperhead on Tue Aug 25, 2009 6:42 AM So GAC when are you going to donate that kidney? YOU GOT YOUR TWO. Why are we forced to subsidize those with out kidneys when you could donate one? Why don';t I pay taxes on my health care? Because that is the way the law is set up! Becuase during WWII wages were frozen so benefits became bargaining chips and if benefits were income and taxed they could not be given with out reducing salaries!

Obumbler was so clueless and boy did the press cover for him. Nothing he said made sense before, during and after the election and you defend him to the hilt! Anybody that wouild leave a new born baby to die after a botched abortion is inhumane and unfit to be president and as a christian what happened to "as you do unto the least of these"?

carcraft, do you have a

carcraft, do you have a mortgage on your house? Do you have a credit card, a car payment? If so, you words are just wind. When our money is based on how much is produced and bought in this country, the only way for it to continue to be worth anything(and that is a figurative worth)is for the economy to continue to grow. Ok, let's look at that. It means you must spend more money to buy more things. You get a raise. Your employer raises prices to cover your wages. (By the way, those increases in the prices they charge ME, subsidizes YOUR medical insurance, so I am SUBSIDIZING YOU!) Eventually the increased costs require that I must use credit in order to afford to buy what you provide. The bubble must burst, eventaully, and that's what happened last year.
