Did Obama ever trick or treat? Doubtless only his fact hiders know?

The three races I’m watching the closest wthe Washington, Illinois and California senate contests. They are the keys to majority status in the senate.
A fourth that will see the polls close earlier that if close will be an indicator of an epic defeat for the dems – and it’s where Obama campaigned in a half empty stadium is the conn senate race. If the GOP wins it then the pre-election polling has frankly been fraudulent.
And it goes without saying that California is doomed if Meg Whitman gets beat by Jerry brown for governor.
‘Watched the whole video of Shelley and Barry handing out Hallowe’en treats at the White House. They were not happy campers, no warm hospitality here, just “I-guess-we-have-to-do-this-crap-for-the-cameras…” When one trick-or-treater stopped for a few seconds to say something to him, Obambam says, a might testily, “c’mon, you’ve got to move along, there are a lot of people here,” not even looking at the kid. The little ghouls and goblins, are, after all, just props — like everyone else around Obama (including his wife and daughters).
Now, if that kid as The Joker hadn’t been a black kid, he would have been the Heath Ledger version, not the Barak Obama one. But, one thing you notice, is that all the trick or treaters are black, there’s not one white child.
Obama’s takin’ off the gloves.
Being known as The Dude in Chief instead of Commander in Chief is not so important as long as he sees himself to be a cool hip dude like Frank Marshall Davis or Chauncy Gardener.
Yup Cal, Obama= Chauncey Gardner.
It is frightening how much Obama resembles “Chance” Gardner in the movie “Being There”; it’s a classic satire on politics and now life imitates art in what has become a horror show. In the ending Chance, played by Peter Sellers, is eerily similar to Obama where he appears to walk on water. Chance’s glib answers to serious economic questions are the same as Obama’s. The “I like to watch” as opposed to actually doing “it” are identical.
What will Obama do after the election? I take as a given that psychologically, he is pathological, then his psychological needs take precedence over reason.
His ‘handlers’ are sending him on an Asian trip immediately after the election. I suspect this is necessary to prevent Obama from slipping into a rage-and-revenge phase. The trip will give him the adulation and red carpet treatment that he requires. It will cool him down. Then he returns.
As a malignant narcissist he can’t accept responsibility. So, he’ll blame The People, as he always does, for their bigotry, racism and ignorance. And he’ll blame the Democrats for their lack of ..whatever. He’ll expect the GOP to support him; he’s already, amazingly, said this.
Remember, he’s just a community organizer. He speaks and you go out and do His Work. But how will he react when Congress does’t accept this role?
I suspect Pelosi will, as the analysts are predicting, quit. That will leave the Democrats in Congress free to vote as their constituents wants rather than as the dragon-lady wants. Where will that leave Obama? Out to dry?
So, he may attempt to rule by Executive Fiat. But that has its limits; it will set up more and more confrontations and there’s another election coming up in two years. How clever of the Founders to set it up so that the elected ones cannot run too far from the electors at any time.
Will he withdraw to golf and foreign trips? Will he resort to rage and public late night shows of complaint? Will the backroom gang try to get him a UN job to get rid of him?
There’s no way that Obama will become a centrist because he is so pathological that he can’t allow others to have any control. He must set up a structure where he is The Controller. So- what will he do when the people turn against him?
“What will Obama do after the election?”
ET, there are so many variables my head hurts so I’m going to try and just wait until Wed; but am musing about this in the meantime:
– Don’t forget Chauncey Obama just “likes to watch”, he actually does nothing, he’s just a TOTUS. So the better question is: what will the Obamarx gang do after the election?
– The gang won’t just go away; we made that mistake after the fall of the Berlin Wall, progressivism is here to stay but now that we know that, let’s stay full armed ready and willing to do battle with the gang as it changes into new camouflage on Wednesday.
– How will the temporary power entrusted to the GOP by the tea Parties be used wisely in order to earn a new conservative mandate?
Lack of ethnic diversity in the selection of children…racist!!
What will Obama do after the election?
A very good question. However, no matter what happens on Tuesday, there is another issue to solve. I am not sure how it will be solved or even if it will be solved. I wish I had written the following quote. Although offering no solution, it does state the real problem and states it in a manner that echoes my own thoughts.
“The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president.
The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”
Speedy, you have a sharp eye. I was wondering if anyone would venture to comment.
Will the election in the US pull the country back from the brink of a Marxist revolution? Sure hope so!
brent weston – hmm, I’m not sure if I’ll accept the reasoning in that quote. It, like Obama, blames the electorate for their ignorance and even suggests that man is, or ought to be, incapable of error. I disagree.
We are fallible and that is part of our being human. We also are prone to mythic hopes and the imaginary world of utopia; that is also part of being human. If we couldn’t imagine things ‘could be better’, we’d never have invented all the technologies we have, the medical treatments, and even, that remarkable document, the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution.
But, we CAN see through our errors. Think about it. In two short years, Obama has fallen from the heights of messianic adulation where we actually accepted his declaration that he would ‘stop the oceans from rising’…. to a situation where he is constantly criticized, peered at with disbelief, mocked, belittled.
Sure, it’s not all people who have moved this way. We are, after all, prone to hold on to our beliefs by ‘tenacity’. But, it seems that a majority of people are realizing the difference between fact and fiction – and seeing that Obama lives only in the latter realm.
I still ask – what’s next. Obama can’t handle losing control. That’s a key aspect of his character. So what will he do with the loss of Congress, i.e., the electorate Will?
And, as nomdeblog says, there is still the BackRoom Gang, the real authors of Obama’s agenda of socialism, who want to get their structure set up..via Obama..or somehow. What will they do?
Some say Obama will try to rule by Executive Fiat and align himself with the bureaucracy and get things through by by-passing Congress; i.e., by by-passing the Will of the People. That will probably be his, and the BRG’s first tactic.
That’s risky. Congress is not going to accept that. There is such a thing as impeachment and we are hearing about it more and more.
Then others say that the States will confront the Federal dictatorship of Obama. Possible; they are doing that already with Health Care and with Immigration.
But I suspect something more mundane than these scenarios. Obama is ruining the Democratic Party; that is, the actual careers of those who run for Congress. I suspect that the leadership of the Democratic Party will try to get rid of Obama. They’ll have to find him a UN job where he can pontificate and preach.

“Assuming that Obama, as a pathological narcissist, can’t handle losing control – then, what will happen?
I suspect his handlers are sending him on this immediate post election Asian trip as a way of dealing with his first impulse of rage-and-revenge to what he will perceive as a rejection of His Will. So, they are soothing him with a week of red carpet treatment overseas. Then what?
Obama will of course blame the electorate rejection of His Will as due to their bigotry, racism and/or stupidity. How will he deal with Congress? His disdain for Congress has been obvious from the start, with his insistence that they pass bills based on Faith in Him rather than reading, analysis and debate. So, I predict he’ll ignore Congress almost completely and attempt to rule by Executive Fiat.”

Although your statement is valid, there has been no new information over the last two years to lead people to that conclusion. All the information was available in 2008 and, arguably, in 2007 as well. The necessary due diligence that reasonable people did in 2007/2008 and used to come to their own conclusions has only been done over the two years by those less rigorous in their analysis.
Sure, it’s not all people who have moved this way.
That’s not a feature; that’s a bug. I do not expect everybody to be able to think for themselves or to do their own research. However, there is no reasonable basis for why Obama’s support remains as high as it is. Sure, I get the idea that if a Presidential election were held today, we would have a new US President.
Yet, still, Obama was elected two years ago. There was a problem then and although many have buyer’s remorse, I do not see a wholesale change in the American electorate that is now doing better analysis and better due diligence. Obama is unpopular now because of the economic woes, not because of increase skills in due dilgence by the electorate.
Therefore, the basic problem remains. The economy will allow the problem to be hidden for the next election cycle starting tomorrow, but the problem itself remains.
brent – there are several aspects to consider.
First, is the informational aspect. There’s no new information because Obama and the Gang have prevented any information about Obama right from the start. It isn’t simply his birth certificate, but all his schooling records – including evidence that would show whether or not he was funded as an ‘international student’ rather than an American citizen. His college grades, his papers – anything and everything has been sealed. Obama is a complete unknown and there’s no way to access the information.
Then, there’s the emotional aspect. Obama and the Gang have manipulated the public using race as a key tactic. The electorate voted for him either because he was black (the black vote) or out of ‘white-guilt’. That’s the emotional side of the issue. These emotions remain even if they have been reduced in effect.
Then, there’s the media, which failed in its duty of ‘due diligence reporting’.
I do not think that an electorate is going to sift through an indivdual’s identity and judge them on that, as much as they are going to examine the ‘observable actions’ of that individual when he is in power. That’s what is happening now. The examination of his actions..is what is occurring now.
I still think that the people, as a whole, as a community of Americans, will evaluate and judge someone’s actions in a reasonable way.
Did Canadians ever evaluate Trudeau? They are only now evaluating the disastrous results of his actions.
“However, there is no reasonable basis for why Obama’s support remains as high as it is.”
Because of Obama’s melanin content, he has a guaranteed built in cushion of at least 14% approval that no previous POTUS has had from Black Americans.
That may not be a good reason for supporting Obama, but it is a reason his support remains so high.
“We need him to do what he asked us to make him do what he said he was going to do in the campaign.”
Only a person with a very dysfunctional mind can come up with such a strange sentence.
I guess he is the average Obama supporter…
ET:
I think we see the data in much the same way. It is in assigning responsibility for how that data has been used where we differ. I will use your “data”.
First, is the informational aspect. There’s no new information because Obama and the Gang have prevented any information about Obama right from the start. It isn’t simply his birth certificate, but all his schooling records – including evidence that would show whether or not he was funded as an ‘international student’ rather than an American citizen. His college grades, his papers – anything and everything has been sealed. Obama is a complete unknown and there’s no way to access the information.
I’ll use an anecdote for this one. I used to know the manager of a small venture capital firm. We were once discussing his criteria for selecting possible investments and the type of questions he asks. He summed it up by stating: “You always ask more questions when you’re giving away money than when you’re receiving it.” Obama’s refusal to disclose information is Obama’s fault. That he was not disqualified from the election (on a competiveness basis – not a legal basis) for the same is the fault of the electorate, not Obama.
The electorate voted for him either because he was black (the black vote) or out of ‘white-guilt’.
It should be obvious who owns the responsibility for this maneuver.
Then, there’s the media, which failed in its duty of ‘due diligence reporting’.
I guess we do not entirely agree on the data. Was this a failure or was this by design? Even if we use your term – failure – we must also qualify it by not including all media in this condemnation. We are then left with the question: why did the electorate trust a certain aspect of the media and not the other?
I do not think that an electorate is going to sift through an indivdual’s identity and judge them on that, as much as they are going to examine the ‘observable actions’ of that individual when he is in power. That’s what is happening now. The examination of his actions..is what is occurring now.
Your point that things are not as bad as they could be in that the American system has self-correcting features built into the system and we will see the effects of that on Tuesday is a valid point. However, mine is that no correction should have ever been necessary. Or to state it another way, you are most likely correct in your assertion that many will not do their homework; mine is that they should have done their homework and in not doing so, should be blamed for the consequences.
I believe that Oblamebush is much more a symptom than the disease. The people of America were not duped into voting leftist. If they were duped at all it was only in degree not intent. Shrillery remains leftist. She is only slightly less radical than Oblamebush and had she won the DNC nomination she would now be president. The American people have convinced themselves just as we Canadians have convinced ourselves that government gives more than it takes and therefore voting for an evermore interventionist government betters our personal bottom line.
“What will Obama do after the election?”
He will boldly claim that the voters have “sent a message to the Republicans”, and GOP victories are a confirmation of approval for his agenda. After all, he is governing from the Center, if you listen to the pundits.
“He will boldly claim that the voters have “sent a message to the Republicans””
Could happen.
That was, after all, what Iggy essentially claimed following Ford’s victory in Toronto, that it was a warning to Stephen Harper.
“However, there is no reasonable basis for why Obama’s support remains as high as it is.”
It’s perfectly reasonable for people to support Barak Obama in such numbers. Many blacks for instance support him just because he’s black….though not really. Others genuinely believe that his world view is the correct one in that their country was a mistake, they should be obsequious to foreign cultures and the bounty of the rich should be the largess for the poor. Or that they should open the southern American border because of their treasonous allegiance to identity politics. I can even understand all those positions.
A lot of the people who are out there, angry and waving their racist signs are people who never supported Obama to begin with. You have to remember that his opponent was John McCain, a RINO if there ever was one. In fact even today is there any republican worthy of the mantle of Commander in Chief? No. Not really. (OH! Maybe John Bolton I hope he runs.)
Anyways I don’t think the electorate is blameless in the results but I don’t think it was unreasonable to elect Obama either. I think Obama’s election was healthy for the US and I think McCain would be an even worse president than Obama. He would have faced a democratic congress and I doubt he’d get anything but liberal legislation through anyways. The only ones who really made a mistake were the ones who voted out of “white guilt” but they’re stupid so whatever.
“Did Canadians ever evaluate Trudeau? They are only now evaluating the disastrous results of his actions.”
We’re not even doing that now ET! Left wing-white guilt-identity politics is so entrenched it would be laughable if the consequences weren’t so serious. Just look at like the Tamil protesters, LTTE refugee claimants, Caledonia or any of the long litany of idiocy that is the modern history of our country.
We can’t have a serious debate about anything in this country because of how unreasonable people are. Health care is the big one but Afghanistan (now that Harper is out the Liberals are in), crime, immigration, natives you name it. Any one of those issues will cause more shrieking than a banana in a baboon cage.
Oh God! The F-35 procurement debate. That debate has been so stupid and counter-factual that I want to vomit blood.
Even the Jonestown hangers-on are fed up with him. They so want to have faith in an empty-suit and it’s disappointing to the edge of heartbreak that Obama isn’t living up to their unicorn fantasies.
Start growing up, people. Community organisers make rotten presidents.
Watch for lame duck spending spree after Nov 2. One final kick at the American taxpayers. Don’t look for any gracious Dem losers either. They will whine all the way to the pension office and stop only to fill out their “entitlement” claim.
I thought at first, there mustn’t be many white kids in the neighbourhood, but then, Washington D.C. was a Mecca for the blacks some years back, and think about it; would you want your kids wandering the streets in that neighbourhood? That and the number of politicians roaming about – scareee!
Hey, Ken. I commented on the lack of white kids @ 7:19 a.m.!!!
The little, medium-sized, and bigger black kids just kept coming across the screen. I looked in vain for a white trick or treater, in vain.
Can you imagine if the Bushes had only white kids by the WH on Hallowe’en? But, you know?, Obambam’s special.
Take me, Obama.
“Am I the last person in America who still adores Obama?

At this point, I love Obama so much that I recently thought if it were 1961, I’d probably display a bust of him in my living room. Then I realized I’m already displaying the 2010 equivalent: On my living room wall, I have a framed version of that famous November 2008 New Yorker cover of the O moon over the Lincoln Memorial.”

Did you actually watch the video? I wouldn’t call it a “friendly gesture” – it was more on the lines of “move along kid”, and Bambam did NOT give the kid the candy in his hand. Notice the kid looks back kinda confused (well, as much you could tell under all the make up). I’m not reading too much else into it, but it seemed classless to make the kid wait in line for hours, I’m sure, and not even give him the treat.

Despite all of the brainwashing, to me this whole last two years has been a remake of Ian Flemings “Thunderball” complete with Baron Samedi with no Domino….
Ha Ha Ha Ha….(deep voice)
With an anti-democratic Tsunami immediately offshore and the water going out, many now
are bold enough to point out the obvious…..the juvenile invitees to the WH halloween party look like a miniture version of the US cabinet/executive branch.
My genuine concern is this election will be the causus belli….regardless the result.
