Obama Biographer: "The World Seems to Disappoint Him"
— Ace

No points awarded for novelty or perspicacity, as this observation has been made from distances of up to 2500 miles (I'm sure the Kremlin has detected this). David Remnick, who wrote that fawning interview/profile in the New Yorker, got to talk to Obama for hours, so it's no great feat of psychological diagnosis to realize the President is deeply, deeply disappointed in all of you.

But I guess at least now that a progressive says it, it is no longer strictly Konservative Krazytalk Konspiraciatin'.

"The profile [of President Obama] that I published in the New Yorker was somebody that eerily, eerily seemed to be claiming himself--it was a sense of not giving up, but of deep frustration--that was the profile that I published in the New Yorker. Somebody frustrated and disappointed," said Remnick, who has proven to be deeply sympathetic to this president.

"And that's what's frustrating to me sometimes about Obama is that the world seems to disappoint him," he continued to laughter from others on the TV set. "Republicans disappoint him, Bashar al-Assad disappoints him, Putin as well. And the fighting spirit sometimes is lacking in the performative aspects of the presidency."

By the way, I found this Washington Post piece encapsulating the 17 highlights from Remnick's January piece.

I found this telling.

6. Obama meets with presidential historians: Obama has had a number of presidential historians over as guests, including Doris Kearns Goodwin and Robert Caro, whose work on Lyndon Johnson often is cited as an example of how a president can more effectively get in his agenda through Congress. Remnick writes: “At the most recent dinner he attended at the White House, Caro had the distinct impression that Obama was cool to him, annoyed, perhaps, at the notion appearing in the press that his latest Johnson volume was an implicit rebuke to him. As we were leaving, I said to Obama, ‘You know, my book wasn’t an unspoken attack on you, it’s a book about Lyndon Johnson,’ Caro recalled." Obama and his team continue to rebuff the idea that more social outings and pressure would lead Republicans to embrace his ideas. Obama pointed out that when Johnson “lost that historic majority [in Congress], and the glow of that landslide victory faded, he had the same problems with Congress that most Presidents at one point or another have.”

It's all about him. If you write a book about LBJ, it's really about Obama.

You'll remember how Obama chose to publicly honor JFK on the anniversary of his assassination, I trust.

And just to add a minor thing: While Obama insists that he doesn't have to emulate LBJ's notorious jawboning tactics -- "Obama and his team continue to rebuff the idea that more social outings and pressure would lead Republicans to embrace his ideas" -- in that very same interview he announces he's doing more jawboning.

5. Obama has started socializing more: Obama said he hadn't socialized more in the past because he has two young daughters at home. “I had two young daughters who I wanted to spend time with—and that I wasn’t in a position to work the social scene in Washington,” he said. But now that they’re older, Obama and his wife have been hosting more dinners, with the president drinking a Martini or two, and Obama sometimes pushing guests to stay past 1 a.m. "I’m a night owl! Have another drink,” the president encouraged one set of guests.

He can't even admit the most trivial alleged flaw. He's apparently attempting to remedy this alleged flaw, but can he just say, "You know, perhaps I didn't use enough tools from the social toolbox in the past, so I'm working on that now," he still has to claim "Nah, bro, I did plenty of that. (But now I'm doing more.)"

This f***in' guy.

The horrible and frightening thing about focusing on that disappointment is that even the adults who have gone past all that still fantasize about viciously correcting that disappointment from time to time. Kind of a hangover from adolescence. Not a good trait for a POTUS in any case.

59 Obama is never at fault. He is one of those people who has learned, from a very young age, that he is never responsible for anything. Rush has the Limbaugh Rule to explain why nobody ever blames Obama for anything. What I've come to the conclusion is that Obama, himself, never sees himself as being the root of a problem, ever. I would think between his narcissistic self and the Mooch's inner spoiled entitlement brat, they must have a pretty volatile marriage. She may be doing all the yelling as he retreats into his cone of silent sulking, but I would think that the servants and Secret Service in the WH have been privy to some pretty epic verbal beat downs. I can just see Michelle coming completely unhinged and going monkey daddy on his azz. She definitely seems like she could be a loud termagant! It almost (almost) makes me feel sorry for him.

If you view sociopathy (and gah I forgot it's now antisocial personality disorder because New and Shiny) as a disruption of moral development at its earliest childhood stage, then my saying he is childish is the equivalent of saying he displays sociopathic tendencies. That would be the case definitionally. Shall ponder. Speaking of being childish, I am admit that I am being more than one myself by denying that TFG displays multiple traits of malignant narcissism (which has gone poof from the DSM-V iirc) and sociopathic tendencies simply because I do not want to give his supporters the out of oh he has a disorder. It's not his fault. He's just not able to view the world like you or I with the implicit (or explicit) because he's better.

But Teh JEF is a failure, writ large historically, and come January 2017, he will live this, and be unable to avoid seeing his failures. Who will hire him? At what important venues will he speak? Already, while Vlad the Beater of Ass is annexing big slices of the Ukraine, Teh JEF is being treated like the not-yet-completely-toilet-trained-12-year-old ... ... people (almost all 2014 D candidates, and now the MSM) are trying to avoid the unmistakable whiff.

The interesting thing about Kohlberg's stages, from an interpersonal view, is that generally a person dealing with another person approx 2 stages away in either direction feels a degree of contempt for the other. Mutual dislike.

 

The encouraging thing is that the stages can be fluid and one doesn't tend to go backwards or stagnate. I tend to look upon Rightwingers as generally higher because its a default position, politically, in this nation to be a leftwinger. Its easy, unreflective, and the rewards are often greater. Those on the Right are there because they've given it some thought and decided they couldn't go back to a lie.

I don't think the President is dumb at all.  He's also a rough and tough Chicago politician.  He just doesn't give a shit about governing at all, and (as he himself said) he would much rather be a dictator on a Chinese model than an American president.  He's stuck with us, sadly, even though we haven't lived up to his expectations. 

 

He's also hopelessly naive about foreigners.  It's a weird combination in him:  unbelievably tough on Americans, even to the point of using federal agenices to destroy his opponents,  even while he is hopelessly outmanuvered by even the most inconsequential of foreign leader.  The guy bowed to a fucking robot for crissakes, just because the damn thing was Japanese-built.  He fucking bowed.

Obama said he hadn't socialized more in the past because he has two young daughters at home. “I had two young daughters who I wanted to spend time with—and that I wasn’t in a position to work the social scene in Washington,” he said.

 

 

***

 

 

 

Which of course explains why he essentially abandoned those same two daughters for the 18 months he was running for President.

 




Does anybody anywhere ever challenge the inconsistencies and stupid that comes out of this mopes's yapper?

 

I tell you why he doesn't work the Washington social scene.   It's the same reason he seldom speaks without a teleprompter.   He can't be trusted.   To talk to Obama is to be unimpressed by Obama.

227 "In his biography of Obama, “The Bridge,” David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker, quotes White House senior adviser and longtime Obama friend Valerie Jarrett: “I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary. He knows exactly how smart he is. … He knows how perceptive he is. He knows what a good reader of people he is. And he knows that he has the ability — the extraordinary, uncanny ability — to take a thousand different perspectives, digest them and make sense out of them, and I think that he has never really been challenged intellectually. … So what I sensed in him was not just a restless spirit but somebody with such extraordinary talents that had to be really taxed in order for him to be happy. … He’s been bored to death his whole life. He’s just too talented to do what ordinary people do.”

228 "Jimmah Carter wore real blue jeans. Levi's. With rivets. And not the kind with the 'roomy' ass and thighs. I gotta give him that."

The striking thing is how incredibly modest Carter's lifestyle was while as President compared to the over the top celebrity-entourage circus we see today..

I pointed out that the "killer rabbit" incident happened while Carter was on vacation. Was it in some exotic luxury resort on the other side of the planet? No, it was while Carter was out fishing on a swamp pond back home in Plains, GA. That's what he did to relax.

Note also that when Carter asked the nation to endure austerity and save energy, he personally chose to set an example. That's where the famous cardigan sweaters came from. Carter had turned down the thermostats in the White House.

Whereas now, with Obama, we have him flying Air Force One halfway across the country to deliver a single forty-minute speech on the subject of... saving energy. You couldn't make this stuff up.

And as for the temperature inside the White House, while the rest of us are paying steadily higher energy bills, Obama has the temperature in the Oval Office cranked up to "where you could grow orchids in there," by Axelrod's account.

I posted a link a few weeks ago about a couple of former LBJ aides who were deep in lament. Why? Because Obama refuses to give them and their former boss any credit for their accomplishments.

Why, the social and political and legal changes which the Johnson administration brought in really did make it possible for the Historic First of the Obama presidency. That is, for a pathological narcissist to become President. By lying out his ass constantly and playing the race card at every turn his entire life.

And then, once the pathological narcissist actually WAS the President, he sniffishly refused to give any credit to those who had made it possible for him to do so, and held that his rise had been entirely on personal merit.. (Who could have seen _that_ shocking plot twist coming?)

So now all of the former LBJ stooges have a sad.

I find that Barack Obama has grown, has evolved, so much since being elected that we can say that he isn't the same person he was in 2008. So it wouldn't be a third term for the same person.

Too talented a legislator to stand up for those who can't defend themselves, like the unborn? We are, truly, not worthy of him. No wonder God is letting us wallow in our own filth...we (meaning someone else, since it damn sure wasn't any of us voting for him) elected him twice.

272 >>>5. Obama has started socializing more: Obama said he hadn't socialized more in the past because he has two young daughters at home. “I had two young daughters who I wanted to spend time with—and that I wasn’t in a position to work the social scene in Washington,” he said. But now that they’re older, Obama and his wife have been hosting more dinners, with the president drinking a Martini or two, and Obama sometimes pushing guests to stay past 1 a.m. "I’m a night owl! Have another drink,” the president encouraged one set of guests. ... Are you fucking kidding me? If they left out the bullshit about "time with the family", I might go along with him not socializing with Republicans. Otherwise, we're still talking about the guy who uses Air Force One to take his wife to NYC for 'Date Night', goes on vacation every 6 weeks, golfs constantly, and has celebrity filled parties at the White House damn near every night (with the exception of the nights where he's out at a celebrity party or fundraiser). "Have another drink!", "It's only 1AM!", says the guy who NEVER starts work before 10AM and usually ends his day no later than 3PM. Yeah, it's not like the fucker has a job to do or anything. *blood shoots out of eyes*

LBJ:  I don't care if he fucks pigs, I just want to hear him go on the radio and deny it.

Oh, and don't forget that he's a better economist than any of his economic advisers.

He's up to, by my count, number seven now on econ advisers, and I think that guy's days are numbered, given that last quarter's GDP growth number was only an eyelash above zero even with extensive massaging of the data.

By the way, that current econ adviser, Jason Furman, is yet another inbred Ivy League puke and an absolutely orthodox worshipper at the shrine of John Maynard Keynes.

Why the fuck would anyone choose a Keynesian purist who doesn't know anything other than that, to run policy in an environment where recent budget deals mean that it's no longer realistically possible to put a traditional Keynesian policy package on the table? Utter futility and incoherence.

But I feel very strongly that whether the reward is in the here and now or in the hereafter, the aligning myself to my faith and my values is a good thing. When I tuck in my daughters at night and I feel like I've been a good father to them, and I see in them that I am transferring values that I got from my mother and that they're kind people and that they're honest people, and they're curious people, that's a little piece of heaven." - - - - - So maybe he'll be disappointed at how hot "heaven" is?

314 Bryan Cranston was interviewed in Parade Magazine, about his career, but since he's currently playing LBJ on Broadway they also discussed politics. And of course they asked him what advice he'd give Obama, sigh. He also talked about LBJ's great humanity. Um, okay then, if you think so. "What can Barack Obama learn from LBJ? There are two things LBJ had that our current president doesn’t have. One is extensive experience in Congress. By the time he became vice president, Johnson not only knew everyone, he knew what their pet projects were. So he was ready to make deals and trades. “You support me on this, I’m going to give you that bridge.” [laughs] The second thing is the [political] climate. In LBJ’s time, politicians knew they’d have to cross the aisle: “Our philosophies might be opposite, but I’m going to try to work with them.” And what we have now is a digging-your-heels-in: “They are trying to hurt the country. Only our way is the right way”—whether you’re in the Republican or Democratic camp. It is so polarizing and distrustful and disrespectful. " http://preview.tinyurl.com/m44zuwk

332 Obama and his team continue to rebuff the idea that more social outings and pressure would lead Republicans to embrace his ideas. -- David Remnick Consider well what "social outings and pressure" MEAN when referencing Obama and his team hosting political opponents whom he publicly called "enemies" in America. How'd that beer fest go with the Ivy League police officer (responded to a burglary call) that Obama, with no actionable intelligence, spontaneously denounced as a white racist cop who acted stupidly? It wasn't just the beer that was chilled. By accounts, Obama is abrasive, bitter, accusational and vindictive. So how would taking Remnick's cue actually make a hand shake any less painful from a host wearing hand spikes while jeering, "I'm getting pretty good at killing people." About damned time Obama's cronies suffer their dear leader's spikes that have been scraping the flesh from our bones since he assumed office. Misery loves company.

337 "Chart of inverse correlation of gas prices and approval rating."

::: stands in corner, stares at wall, bunches fists :::

That chart ALWAYS works. It has worked for DECADES ON END.

That's why I couldn't wait for the first round of gut-punch ads from Romney in 2012 about the unprecedentedly fast rate of gas prices in Obama's first term.

Ads that mentioned the plan by Obama's Department of Energy nominee to "get gas prices up to European levels," i.e., to seven or eight bucks a gallon.

So I waited for those ads to run. And waited. And waited. And waited some more.

Goddamned Romney.

338 "268 LBJ was a failure, if you measure success by not harming the United States. By personal power and the exercise of such in order to punish enemies and reward cronies, LBJ was a success. " I'd heard he failed by that measure too, since he was an incumbent President in line to forfeit his own party's nomination. He looks strong compared to Barack Obama, however. The master of personal power in the post-FDR era has to be - sadly -- George H.W. Bush, who continues to wield real power in the party more than 20 years after being defeated for re-election.

339 227 "In his biography of Obama, “The Bridge,” David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker, quotes White House senior adviser and longtime Obama friend Valerie Jarrett: “I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary. He knows exactly how smart he is. … He knows how perceptive he is. He knows what a good reader of people he is. And he knows that he has the ability — the extraordinary, uncanny ability — to take a thousand different perspectives, digest them and make sense out of them, and I think that he has never really been challenged intellectually. … So what I sensed in him was not just a restless spirit but somebody with such extraordinary talents that had to be really taxed in order for him to be happy. … He’s been bored to death his whole life. He’s just too talented to do what ordinary people do.”
***

What absolute horseshit.  Yeah, he's "extraordinary", "smart", "perceptive", "a good reader of people", and all of the other knob polishing man crush shit in that article.  Which is why he was a third rate wardheeler in Chicago, an ineffectual no-show Senator of no repute, and the most dismal POTUS this nation has ever had presiding over the wreckage of what was a functioning economy.

As Ayn Rand said, when you're facing a contradiction, check your premises.  Leftists haven't checked their premises since 1918.

340 I had reason to look this up today: it seems eerily apt.

<blockquote>The Solution</span>
    <span class="style2">by Bertolt Brecht</span><br>
    <p> After the uprising of the 17th June
  The Secretary of the Writer's Union
  Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee
  Stating that the people
  Had forfeited the confidence of the government
  And could win it back only
  By redoubled efforts.<br>
  Would it not be easier
  In that case for the government
  To dissolve the people
  And elect another?</blockquote>

Oh hells, I remember that. That should have been a tell. As soon as that balloon-ego narcissist started doing press conference with that stupid "Office of the President-Elect" (which by the way, there's no such thing as) seal, we all should have said "oh, shit, what did we just do?"

344 From the WaPo: "Compared with 2002, the percentage of full-time U.S. journalists who claim to be Democrats has dropped 8 percentage points in 2013 to about 28 percent, moving this figure closer to the overall population percentage of 30 percent, according to a December 12-15, 2013, ABC News/Washington Post national poll of 1,005 adults." They all work for The Blaze, yes? (I keed.) But this stat makes his constant griping about the press even more ridiculous. Dude, 80% of the MSM is lining up to give you tongue baths!

345 Obama said he hadn't socialized more in the past because he has two young daughters at home. “I had two young daughters who I wanted to spend time with—and that I wasn’t in a position to work the social scene in Washington,” Last estimate I read was that the cost of (his) official vacations, not the Presidential junkets with side trips or FLOTUS vacays, was over 40 Million. Never saw a cost breakdown on the "young" Girls' Spring break trip to Mexico.

I think the most "authoritative" source on that is Hunter S. ThompsonÂ’s "Fear & Loathing: On The Campaign Trail Â’72":

This is one of the oldest and most effective tricks in politics.  Every hack in the business has used it in times of trouble, and it has even been elevated to the level of political mythology in a story about one of Lyndon JohnsonÂ’s early campaigns in Texas.  The race was close and Johnson was getting worried.  Finally he told his campaign manager to start a massive rumor campaign about his opponentÂ’s life-long habit of enjoying carnal knowledge of his own barnyard sows.

“Christ, we canÂ’t get a way calling him a pig-fucker,” the campaign manager protested.  “NobodyÂ’s going to believe a thing like that.”

“I know,” Johnson replied.  “But letÂ’s make the sonofabitch deny it.”

Pakistanis (his roommate) and Middle Easterners pronounce it that way. Like Ear-on (Iran) or Ear-ahk (Iraq), it's how the people pronounce their own homeland. /The nerve./ Your point hits Obama between the eyes. Obama was not raised in the You-knitted States of A Miracle until he was prepping for college and moved in with gramma, whether or not he ever really enrolled or graduated from any university as he boasts. He has no classmates to verify his attendance. And his transcripts are yet "classified" as if that will protect national security OR SOMETHING. So let Obama's biographer expose the subject's biography. Or let the biographer stfu for selling more snake oiled tripe.

419 Here's an fawning commentary on sensitive Obama who apparently pronounces Pakistan the way Pakistanis do-which Obama learned from his college roommate. He also knows how to pronounce Afghanistan correctly. He's quite up on countries that have huge Muslim populations. Not too sharp when it comes to corpsman though.

That politico piece does quite a lot of slobbering.

I remember when he pronounced Sarah Palin's hometown as 'Wasilly'. That's how careful he was to get things right.

434 No one says "Pahk-ee-stahn"? Pakistanis (his roommate) and Middle Easterners pronounce it that way. Like Ear-on (Iran) or Ear-ahk (Iraq), it's how the people pronounce their own homeland. /The nerve./

446 435. OregonMuse I was "schooled" by family friends returning home after foreign sabbatical leaves and extended vacations while abroad. She was not about to let us kids go play until we repeated with her sign language cue, "Ear On". This lady faced down a tiger on her own that summer, eye to eye, btw. True grit. To me, the idea of a safari has NEVER appealed. By the boomer generation, all those old "romantic" Hollywood movies were dumb, selling jungles as if the great vacation destination. No matter how many of our parents' friends went to "exotic" places like the Amazon in a row boat, it wasn't their husbands' idea. Not after survivingthe South Pacific campaign. I chuckle silently when the British aristocracy mash "proper" pronunciation, know-it-all mispronouncing foreign destinations. And when all the Anglophobes trot out the repetitions, everyone who trusts "how they've heard it" gets stuck in the "proper" improper rut. Anyway, revert to your chosen foreign language that you studied once upon a time, and remember how others pronounce vowels and consonants. Or mimic by ear as actors (trained monkeys) do.

Of course ,being murdered in office is probably reserved for the ones that get too close, and pay attention to their particular nightmares. Obama should consult with more celebrity psychics, the ones after the drones. Or porn stars with premonitions. That is probably sexy, in the desert.
