President Barack Obama has been having a very bad week. Some publications were suggesting it might be his worst ever, when it was only Tuesday.

Google “Obama’s worst week” and you get a host of previous such suggestions, but they tend to come from sites that didn’t like him to begin with. It’s different this time, because the president is being questioned by some of his staunchest supporters. It’s so bad that liberals are questioning whether they were wrong to give him a break on other controversies in the past.

If a democrat president loses Jon Stewart, can he hope to hang on to other liberals?
The crisis arises from the convergence of three separate scandals, each of which was serious enough in its own right. In one, new information has resurrected suspicions the White House deliberately misled Americans about a terrorist attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, last year, to avoid harming Mr. Obama’s re-election campaign. In the second, the federal tax office admitted targeting organizations critical of Obama for extra scrutiny in a co-ordinated campaign over an extended period. In the third, the Justice Department secretly seized phone records from the Associated Press so it could track reporters’ calls in hopes of tracking down leaks. (A more detailed synopsis can be seen here.)

The confluence of controversies is bad enough, but what may be most damaging is the harm done to the core of the president’s appeal. The revelations suggest he is willing to put politics above honesty, to target enemies in a way no president has done since Richard Nixon, to shrug at press freedom in search of enemies, and to abuse the levers of government for partisan (and perhaps personal) purposes.

“Is Obama worse for press freedom than Nixon?” asks James C. Goodale, who defended the New York Times in the Pentagon Papers controversy, in The Daily Beast. Nixon famously sent his team of “plumbers” to stop leaks to the press. Obama’s administration’s seizure of records was all the more alarming for its brashness.

President Barack H. Obama’s outrageous seizure of the Associated Press’s phone records, allegedly to discover sources of leaks, should surprise no one. Obama has relentlessly pursued leakers ever since he became president. He is fast becoming the worst national security press president ever, and it may not get any better.
Stuart Stevens, in the same publication, says the situation undermines the fundamental Democratic belief personified by Obama, that government is a force for good, that “can and must be a strong and benevolent force in our lives.”

For many liberals, including Jon Stewart, these scandals have proven all the wrong people right. Let’s review:

—The IRS using unchecked power of government to throttle political dissent.
—The DOJ logging AP reporters’ calls for two months, and, when telling them later that they’d done so, simply saying “trust us,” we had a good reason.
—In Benghazi, the president and his minions exposed in a blatant political strategy to downplay the threat of radical extremists intent on killing Americans after they’ve just succeeded at doing so. Check.
The reference to Stewart points to one of the biggest potential worries for the White House, that it has damaged the easy ride it has received from a largely liberal press throughout the Obama administration. Eager to justify ongoing media support for the president, it has been accused of being overly eager to give him the benefit of the doubt. But if he’s willing to track their phone calls, mislead the country about terrorism and send the IRS to spy on critics, is he really the man they thought he was?

Mocking Mr. Obama’s fondness for claiming he was unaware of issues until he learned of them in the news, Stewart declared: “I wouldn’t be surprised if President Obama learned Osama Bin Laden had been killed when he saw himself announcing it on television.”

If a democrat president loses Jon Stewart, can he hope to hang on to other liberals?

National Post

by Crag Anderson Sociopaths.

A sociopath is typically defined as someone who lies incessantly to get their way and does so with little concern for others. A sociopath is often goal-oriented (i.e., lying is focused – it is done to get one’s way). Sociopaths have little regard or respect for the rights and feelings of others. Sociopaths are often charming and charismatic, but they use their talented social skills in manipulative and self-centered ways.

Compulsive Liars.

A compulsive liar is defined as someone who lies out of habit. Lying is their normal and reflexive way of responding to questions. Compulsive liars bend the truth about everything, large and small. For a compulsive liar, telling the truth is very awkward and uncomfortable while lying feels right. Compulsive lying is usually thought to develop in early childhood, due to being placed in an environment where lying was necessary. For the most part, compulsive liars are not overly manipulative and cunning (unlike sociopaths), rather they simply lie out of habit – an automatic response which is hard to break and one that takes its toll on a relationship.

Pathological Liars.

A pathological liar is someone who consistently lies (about anything- from the most mundane subject to detailed stories). They are very insecure people who lie to present themselves better than they really are.

A pathological liar often believes the lies he is telling, he manages to convince himself they are true, in comparison to a compulsive liar who will lie for any reason, and knows they are lies but apparently can’t stop himself from doing so.
When the lie is more difficult, a pathological liar may not know he lies, he may believe himself to be as honest and trustworthy as anyone else. But a liar in general lies to make himself sound better and to avoid confrontation, and disappointing people.

A pathological liar might exhibit the following behaviors:

Lie to control and get their own way
Often change stories
Exaggerate, lying about almost everything.
Not value truth
Live in their own reality most of the time
Behave defensively when questioned or challenged
Lie for sympathy
Don’t admit they lie
Contradict what they say because they don’t remember their lies, although there are exceptions
These are 3 distinct categories of liars. 3 separate categories of disorders…

To be fair, the 3rd…Pathological Liar…is not specifically defined by The DSM-IV TR, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fourth Edition, Revised Text, BUT…the DSM DOES state that Pathological Lying can be a symptom of OTHER psychiatric disorders…

ESPECIALLY…Antisocial Personality Disorder or APD and Narcissistic Personality Disorder or NPD.

All 3 Are Definitions of one, Barack Hussein Obama.

A Partial List of Evidence.

Obama’s statements regarding the attack in Benghazi are a web of lies.

Obama says he has Israel’s back. That’s a lie.

Obama said Obamacare was not a tax. That was a lie.

Obama said Obamacare wouldn’t raise anyone’s taxes a single dime. That was a lie. It contains 21 brand new taxes.

Obama swore to uphold and defend the Constitution. That was a lie.

Obama said he had no knowledge of Fast and Furious. That was a lie. He exerted Executive Privilege over it.

Obama said he couldn’t enact the “Dream Act” on his own. That was a lie.

Obama claimed to be the 4th best President in history. That’s a lie.

Obama claimed that he would walk the picket lines with unions. That was a lie.

Obama says we’re better off than we were 4 years ago. That’s a lie.

Obama said his “green energy” investments were good investments. That was a lie.

Obama said he’d cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. That was a lie. He’s added 6 Trillion dollars TO it.

Obama said that when he became president, Muslim violence against America would end. That was a lie.

Obama wrote his memoirs and asserted they were fact. That was a lie. His story is full of composite characters and events that never existed.

Obama says the national security leaks did not come from the white house. That’s a lie.

Obama said small business owners did not build their own businesses. That’s a lie.

Obama says the rich are not paying their fair share of taxes. That’s a lie. The rich pay nearly 70% of all taxes.

Obama said, “Under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, and federal conscience laws will remain in place.” That was a lie.

Obama said, “We have run out of places in the US to drill for oil.” That’s a lie.

Obama said he was not somebody who promotes same sex marriage. That was a lie.

Obama said unemployment would not rise above 8% if he were granted a $787 Billion Dollar stimulus. That was a lie.

Obama said he would have the most transparent administration in history. That was a lie.

Obama said he would close GITMO. That was a lie.

Obama said, “When a bill lands on my Desk, The American people will have 5 days to review it before I sign it.” That was a lie.

Obama says he’s an American citizen but, he told Columbia he was a foreign student. One of those two claims has to be a lie.

Obama claimed that his mother and father were married and he has said he was born to a single mother. One of those two claims has to be a lie.

It’s a long, LONG list and I am just scratching the surface.

Ask Barack Hussein Obama to tell the truth and he’ll borrow a line from Hollywood.From talk show couches to the white house press room to the U.N. podium…From his book to his campaign speeches to his State of the Union addresses…Barack Hussein Obama lies.

To the American people and to our allies…Barack Hussein Obama lies.

About his childhood…About his father’s “service in our military during WWII”…About who his friends are…And about his policies…His goals…And his beliefs…Barack Hussein Obama lies.

If one were to ask him if the water was wet…God only knows what he’d say but…Without any resemblance to rational thought…Those who intend to vote for him will tell you the water most certainly is NOT wet because Barack Hussein Obama walks ON it.

Useful Idiots Willing to Lie FOR Him.

Hillary Clinton. Eric Holder. Janet Napolitano. Susan Rice. Tim Geitner. Tony Rezko. Van Jones. John Clapper. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. David Axlerod. Rahm Emmanuel. Valerie Jarrett. Harry Reid. Nancy Pelosi…This list is as endless as the list of lies.

And then, there are those who have lied…for a price. Sen. Ben Nelson…The Cornhusker Kick Back, Mary Landrieu… The Louisiana Purchase, Congressman Sam Farr…The California Gold Rush, The AARP…The Geezer Gotcha, Big Labor…Waivergate.

Birds of a feather all.

The Enablers.

From network anchors to reporters…From pundits to analysts…this skulk of rabid foxes standing guard over the henhouse are flexible enough to kiss their own asses when they’re not licking his and more than willing to spread his propaganda faster than Obama wants to spread YOUR wealth.

The Lowest Common Denominators of Education.

And, just as North Korean teachers taught their students to worship Kim Jong Il…Our well pensioned babysitters have filled the gullible heads of our youth with gilded lies of liberalism for decades. Say a prayer in school? No, no, NO…but it’s perfectly acceptable to sing an ode to the socialist Messiah, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm Barack Hussein Obama.
Disturbing, isn’t it?

The Kool Aid Inebriated.

As for those who adhere to Obama’s litany of lies…They simply accuse others of what they, themselves do. For example…Yesterday, I wrote an article, “Who Shot First and Aimed Later??” and in it, I made my point using nothing but actual quotes from Obama, Hillary, Susan Rice, Jay Carney and Joe Biden coupled with factual timelines regarding the attack in Benghazi. I posted that article on a FB page and lo and behold…Along comes John O’Mara. Here is his typical comment:

John O’Mara – Craig Andresen, you sound like a broken record. I’m really impressed at all the inside information you have…but we all know you have no inside information, you just make up lies. Instead of posting tripe on this page, why don’t you buy Armed Cadence II, and read it. Stop denigrating this Facebook page and other pages which are meant to honor our men and women who serve. I want to puke every time you call yourself a patriot!

You can leave John a message either here on the site or message him at the link on FB…May both…And thank him for helping to validate my points.

Mark Twain was right when he stated: “Politicians are like diapers. They both need changing regularly and for the same reason.”

In this great nation, we have that opportunity and so far, we do it with the power of the vote. Other countries are not that fortunate and THEIR dictators are even less so.

Most “leaders” who exhibit the psychological profile that so well fits Obama ARE dictators and Barack Hussein Obama is a case study for the ages.

A Compulsive liar…A Pathological Liar…A Sociopath.

At every turn, on any topic and with nearly every utterance…Barack Hussein Obama has turned his back on the truth.

Unlike other dictators in recent history, we can remove him from office by the vote in little more than a month. We must. It’s up to US to see to it that HE faces the FACTS.

Wake Up America…This is NOT a drill. This is our last chance. This is for the future of the republic.

There’s a report that our government knew of the attack 48 hours before it happened. You can’t blame this one on George Bush, but something makes me believe the Democrats and the media will try. The Independent, a UK news source, reports the following
“According to senior diplomatic sources, the US State Department had credible information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and the embassy in Cairo, that American missions may be targeted, but no warnings were given for diplomats to go on high alert and ‘lockdown,’ under which movement is severely restricted.”
We’ve seen it coming. In fact, the Obama presidency started to unravel the day he took office with his hand on the Bible swearing before God and men to uphold the Constitution by closing with “So help me God.”
What’s kept President Obama’s presidency intact for the past four years is the accomplices in the media. His every foible, mis-statement, radical policy, international blunder, executive order, and ties to Islamists either never appeared in print or were buried deep in the fold of page 59 of the New York Times.
Sound criticisms of the president were always declared to be “code words” for imbedded racism in the Republican Party.
There’s no place to hide today. There are more networks than ABC, CBS, and NBC. CNN is in the ratings tank. The internet minute-by-minute explodes with news information. Photos and videos make their way to our computer screens within minutes of the events happening.
One of the things that helped end the Vietnam War was images of body bags and the daily casualty count.
Previous wars were fought in distant lands. News was mostly sanitized for American audiences. Hollywood got behind the war effort. They were cheerleaders for the troops. A number of them enlisted. Jimmy Stewart and Clark Gable come to mind. Baseball great Ted Williams put his baseball career on hold and served as a naval aviator (a U.S. Marine Corps pilot) during World War II and the Korean War.
For most Americans these wars were fought “over there.” “Over there” is now in our living rooms, offices, smart phones, tablets, and computer screens. Hit the refresh button, and there’s something new in the news.
When the stories of the embassy attacks hit the news, we were told that it was about some obscure anti-Muhammad video. Now we’re learning that the attacks were planned well in advance and were coordinated. It’s not coincidental that the attacks took place on 9/11. Were the attacks in retaliation of killing Osama bin Laden? Taking out the mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attack was always ripe for retaliation.

The U.S. embassy in Cairo was attacked by a mob chanting “Obama, Obama, we’re all Osama.” Support of “Arab Spring,” apologies, political deference, religious appeasement, bowing and scraping, and billions in foreign aid haven’t done a thing to placate the “we hate America” radical Muslims.
What did the media do to protect the candidate they got elected? They blame shifted, like Obama, the Democrats, and the media have been doing for four years. “It was Bush’s fault.” Now it’s Romney’s fault for exposing the ineptitude of this administration.
On the anniversary of the biggest and most frightening attack on American social, these embassies were left unprotected. You know that had George Bush been in office, the media and the Democrat candidate running against him would be putting out these things in triplicate. It’s all you would be seeing and hearing about. Here’s an example of media diversion:
“[H]ere’s Chris Matthews summing up the narrative du jour by insisting that ‘The tragedy in Benghazi that cost Ambassador Stevens his life unfortunately has been overshadowed by the desperate reach by Mitt Romney to secure political advantage.’”
Romney’s running for president. He needs to send a message to the voters and to the radical Islamists. He can’t sit back and look indecisive. That’s what got us into this mess.
Then there’s Hillary Clinton who is still blaming everybody but the radical murderers for what happened on America’s Second 9/11. Here’s how the complicit Washington Post massages the story:
“Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton took strong steps Thursday to distance the U.S. government from a movie that has sparked protests throughout the Muslim world, calling the film ‘disgusting and reprehensible’ but also condemning violence in response to it.
“‘The U.S. government has absolutely nothing to do with this video. We absolutely reject its content and messages,’ Clinton said. ‘But there is no justification — none at all — for responding to this video with violence.’”
The movie didn’t have a thing to do with the actions of these insane people.
Here’s what Nancy Pelosi had to say, “If they’re suggesting we should cut off assistance to Egypt,” Pelosi said of some Republicans in Congress, “I don’t agree with that.’” She’s just as insane. The tax payers will have $1.5 billion dollars stolen from them this year by Pelosi and the Democrats to fund who knows what in Egypt.

In 2008, Barack Obama persuaded liberals, independents, and even some conservatives to come to his side. His winning coalition cut across all demographic lines and spoke of a realignment of the country’s voters. Liberal pundits celebrated and proclaimed the beginning of a new liberal era built on this seemingly unbreakable new coalition.

Four years later, that coalition is already chipped, and disintegrating quickly. Yahoo News reports:

A survey of registered voters conducted July 23-29 found that 92 percent of Americans who voted for McCain in 2008 plan to vote for Romney this fall and just 5 percent have switched sides to support Obama. But among Obama’s 2008 supporters, just 86 percent are planning to do so again and 9 percent are switching their support to Romney.
Overall 11 percent of voters who say they cast ballots for Obama or McCain are supporting the other party’s candidate.
To some extent, this is to be expected. Obama had a tenuous coalition in the first place. The big question, however, is whether this enthusiasm gap will be enough to make a different in the outcome.
