Trickle-Down Dysphoria: Inside the mind of Barack Obama

On September 14, 2011, Barack Obama was addressing a crowd of students at North Carolina State University when he said, “If you love me, you’ve got to help me pass this bill.”

Obama was not elected to be loved. He was elected to perform the duties of the office and defend the Constitution. He also was elected to lead us out of the worst recession since the Great Depression. He has done a poor job. In fact, his policies and political rhetoric have brought us to the brink of economic disaster, driven our two major political parties farther apart and divided the country along racial and ethnic lines that may take years or decades to repair.

Many were puzzled by this odd statement from an American president. However, Dr. Paul Fick, the renowned clinical and forensic psychologist from Laguna Niguel, Calif., who often brings clarity to the political arena, says it is “completely comprehensible” when viewed from the perspective of Obama’s troubled childhood.

It was Fick, who, in his1995 book, “The Dysfunctional President,” correctly predicted that Bill Clinton would, during his time in office, act out sexually in a manner that would risk his presidency.

In his latest book, “The Destructive President,”Fick makes a compelling case that Obama’s need for love that was left unfulfilled has led him to attempt to control others in order to have a feeling that he is loved, however temporary.

Obama’s failure to resolve his childhood pain, resulting from rejection, abandonment, maternal neglect, multiple moves and divorces, and an alienation regarding religion, race and socioeconomic status resulted in the “victim logic” that has been the dominant theme of his 2012 campaign. Far more damaging is that these unresolved emotional issues have produced an “inner rage” that resulted in an outright “hatred for his country.” Continue reading “Trickle-Down Dysphoria: Inside the mind of Barack Obama” →

It IS all about the Platform (not the Personality or the Party)

I find it a bit ironic that leading Democrat spokespeople are now downplaying the importance of their party’s platform, particularly since they spent a good portion of last week talking about the “extreme” Republican Platform.

The truth is this election, and every election, is all about the platform. A platform is to the candidate, what the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are to the United States of America. The platform is what each candidate is all about, what he supports and promises to do if elected to assume (or continue in) the role of the nation’s chief executive.

Democrats Demand Your Fair Share

I was born into the Democrat Party. When I became old enough to question my family’s political roots, I was told, “Democrats are the party that cares about working people and the poor.” That was good enough for me until I reached the age reason and began to think for myself.

It was all a big lie!

I am not saying that my family deliberately lied to me. It was just that they had accepted the conventional wisdom of the day, which is still hanging around.

“Repeat a lie often enough and it will be believed.” The theory espoused by Goebbels, Hitler’s propaganda minister has been used effectively by politicians of all political stripes but most effectively by Democrats in this country to create a dependent class.

Mitt Romney’s “must-have” VP

Who will be the “ideal” Mitt Romney running mate? Will it be a tea party favorite, someone from a swing state, someone who will offer either gender or racial diversity or both? You can forget all that. It has already been decided by . . . Barack Obama.

The president has made it clear that he is running, not against Mitt Romney, but against Paul Ryan’s budget, which Mr. Romney has embraced. Obama and his minions are making the case that if Mr. Romney is smart he will do his best to distance himself from Ryan’s “heartless” approach. Furthermore, they warn that Romney’s biggest mistake would be to make the chairman of the House Budget Committee his running mate.

As in Hamlet, methinks they do protest too much! What they really fear, is a Romney – Ryan ticket. It would be the Democrats’ worst nightmare! Continue reading “Mitt Romney’s “must-have” VP” →

No Laughing Matter

President Obama is trying to shore up the youth vote, one of his most reliable voting blocs in the 2008 election. He is visiting colleges campuses in swing states and appeared with late night comedy host Jimmy Fallon in the wee hours Wednesday.

There isn’t as much laughter now from the college set and just being a cool dude who loves basketball isn’t going to be enough to impress the 18-29 crowd this time around. Many of those voters have grown too weary looking for work to be swayed by his youthful appearance or empty promises about “hope and change” because most have neither. Continue reading “No Laughing Matter” →

Is it too late for Newt to Bow out Gracefully?

Practically speaking, the four-man GOP presidential contest has come down to a two-man race. Mitt Romney looks like the eventual winner, but Rick Santorum still has an outside chance. Ron Paul is running to promote his ideas, which is all well and good, but Newt Gingrich is done. Only an egotistical, narcissist would not know that it is time to leave the stage. Then again, the above description describes Gingrich perfectly.

Newt’s latest far-flung theory has him combining forces with Rick Santorum (who doesn’t want his help) to deny the evil Darth Vader, a.k.a. Mitt Romney, the nomination which, in Newt speech, would save “western civilization” as we know it. Continue reading “Is it too late for Newt to Bow out Gracefully?” →

Why Romney can’t Connect

A neighbor recently asked me whom I was supporting for the GOP presidential nomination. He was surprised that I hadn’t decided to support Mitt Romney. Frankly, I had a hard time explaining my indecision even though I have serious problems with the other candidates.

Gingrich, though a great idea man, blew it when he became Speaker of the House. He squandered the Republican revolution he led and punished conservatives who stood by their principles. Then, there are his serial moral failings.

Ron Paul is right on economic and constitutional issues, but his positions on foreign policy scare me to death.

Santorum is a good man even though he often went along to get along with George W. Bush when Bush was increasing the size of government and spending us into oblivion. My biggest problem with Santorum, however, is that he has never run a business. Continue reading “Why Romney can’t Connect” →

Murphy Brown in Combat Boots

Twenty years ago, Vice President Dan Quayle stepped on a liberal landmine by stating the obvious: The (then) extremely popular television show “Murphy Brown” was sending the wrong message to teenage girls about single motherhood.

Murphy Brown was doing quite well. She made single motherhood look glamours and easy but most single mothers and their children are likely to live in poverty and die in poverty.

Last week, presidential candidate Rick Santorum confronted another dangerous liberal myth, G.I. Jane. There is a reason this Demi Moore flick bombed at the box office and nearly ended her career. Even Hollywood fantasies must have a hint of truth. Continue reading “Murphy Brown in Combat Boots” →

Is Gingrich a “Consistent” Conservative?

Newt Gingrich has billed himself as the more “consistent conservative” in the race for the GOP presidential nomination. According to Gingrich, he engineered the 1995 Republican takeover of the House of Representatives, balanced the budget and reformed welfare. If that is the case, why wouldn’t all conservatives want this man in the White House?

In 1994, Gingrich did lead the revolution that enabled Republicans to take control of the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years. However, his record on balancing the budget and welfare reform needs an asterisk. And, sadly, under his leadership, the GOP quickly lost its footing and became part of the problem in Washington.

The P-factor

The “P-factor” is a force that cannot be ignored by the pilot of an airplane. Depending on the directional rotation of the propeller, it causes the airplane to yaw to the left or right during take off.

The Republican party has a “P-factor” of its own which cannot be ignored.

Say what you will about Ron Paul. He is and will be a factor in the 2012 presidential election. He will not win the GOP nomination. He is running to advance his core beliefs and he must be heard within the party or he will be heard as an independent outside the party. This would virtually assure Obama’s reelection.
