Obama's narcissism still on display

Obama and company remind me of certain groups in the Middle East who are only interested in working together and compromising when it buys them time to secretly regroup and rearm.

At his press conference the day after the election drubbing, Obama said both sides of the aisle must find "common ground." He stated, "I want to engage both Democrats and Republicans. … I do believe there is hope for civility. I do believe there's hope for progress."

His feigned act of contrition is more appalling than his willingness to drag the essence of the office of the president into commonality, when he engaged in the shameful osculation of unmentionable anatomical areas of Jon Stewart and certain harridans of "The View," who give unmistakable authenticity to Halloween, as he trolled for votes.

He "hopes for civility" and "he believes there is hope for progress" the day after election, but does he forget that he called American patriots who disagree with him as "enemies" as he sought to gain the Hispanic vote? Does he forget that he played the race card at every opportunity in the days leading up to the election in an attempt to cause derision toward whites in general and tea-party people specifically? Does he forget that from the White House, it was he who called us names and berated us derisively? Does he forget the lies he freely and glibly told about Republicans and tea partiers in the weeks leading up to the election?

Exactly what "common ground" does he presume to find when he repeatedly and knowingly lied about the stimulus and healthcare? It's interesting that the day before the election he wasn't interested in providing a climate of certainty for business as he now claims Republicans must help him do.

His very words betray his stated intentions. He now, supposedly, wants to immediately act per "what can be done through the lame-duck session of Congress for the middle class." That may sound magnanimous, but it is political speak for "we're going to try and ram as much through as possible before the new Congress takes over."

He claims to want "affirmative" proposals from the GOP pursuant to fixing the economy – claiming tax cuts by themselves won't be enough.

If he were serious, he and Congress would reduce spending to 2008 levels and freeze it there for two years. They would then go about cutting the budgets of federal programs, and he would make the Bush tax cuts permanent for all income levels.

Someone asked the question "Is the Obama coalition dead?" I argue he never had a coalition – he had a pernicious cabal. And pursuant to the question as proffered, a coalition isn't necessary because the resurrecting of mendacious regimes sans same is not unheard of – which is why we must remain vigilant.

Obama forced upon us that which we didn't want – even Hillary Clinton knew enough not to force health care on us after we signaled rejection of it.

The week after the 2004 general election, I wrote: "It is unambiguous elitist arrogance that leads them to believe Americans are too blind to see through their productions and hollow arguments. It would do them well to examine why an electoral vote thief and serial philanderer like President Kennedy was revered as a leader. Even Bill Clinton knew how to connect with the people." ("Condemned to hopeless labor," Nov. 9, 2004)

Obama doesn't connect with the people because he is narcissistic, arrogant and condescending. He behaves as if he is royalty rather than a servant of the people. Bill Clinton was a lot of things, most of them bad, but we could always count on "Bubba" to be "Bubba," i.e., Jethro Bodine with a college diploma, who loved fried chicken and was unable to control his baser instincts.

I also wrote, "Listening to many of the elites comment post-election as to what went wrong, one gets the impression they view the reasons for their bludgeoning more as canards than maxims."

Don't get me wrong – I'm not overly thrilled that Republicans won as such. I'm proud of the tea-party movement (even if a slacker with a cheap dime-store earring dangling from the side of his head tried to stab many of us in the back).

I'm proud that the American people came into their own – they refused to be bullied and/or intimidated. I'm proud that we took "Darth Democrat's" light saber, but let's not stop here – let's continue to grow the movement, vet candidates and make plans to fully slay this dragon.
