Strong, successful leaders get there by locating and correcting their weaknesses, while continuing to accept greater challenges to which they create and implement solutions throughout their lives; whereas, weak, narcissistic losers attempt to camouflage their weaknesses, blame others for their serial failures, and keep barking about their one moment of glory, believing it will somehow boost the value of their ‘stock.’
Unlike the ‘private sector,’ Gov. Mitt Romney ‘is doing fine,’ winning the hearts, minds and confidence of voters all across America–while President Barack Obama’s reelection bid is plummeting faster than the price of Facebook stock after its IPO two weeks ago.
During a rare 10 minute White House speech/press conference, which Team Obama will forever remember as being 9 minutes too long, President Barack Obama replied to a question regarding the economy by saying these soon to be immortal words … “The private sector is doing fine,” as reported in a FOXNews article Friday.
The first rebuttal came shortly afterward, in the form of a perfectly timed press release from Standard & Poors, wherein they affirmed their reduced AA+ long-term credit rating on the United States, adding that its outlook remains negative.
And it was clear that Obama had completed ignored the registered voters who responded to a recent FOX News poll, 41 percent of whom think the country is currently in a recession, followed quickly by another 42 percent who believe the country is in an economic downturn, but not a recession.
He could only have been “speaking” to the 15 percent who responded that they too think the economy is doing fine–a very slim Obama voter base.
Also according to the same poll, 56 percent say Obama failed at creating new jobs, with 54 percent saying they also failed at stimulating the economy.
Knowing that jobs and the economy are the top issues in November, and ‘Likely Voters’ in a recent Rasmussen poll trust Romney over Obama to restore jobs and the economy, by a 51 to 39 percent preference–the president has already lost the election.
So, as a plan D, Barack Obama did the only thing a narcissist would think of–try to amplify the adoration from the 55 percent of voters in the poll who think he has mostly succeeded on making the country safer–even though it is not a top reelection issue.
How did he do it?
More than likely by approving classified information leaks regarding ongoing military and covert operations around the world, to bolster his ‘tough guy’ image–but, at the expense of national security and putting the safety of the real warriors in jeopardy.
When asked about the leaks at the Friday morning press conference, he said [he] has “zero tolerance” for such actions, and that … “The notion that my White House would purposely release national security information is offensive,” he said. “It’s wrong. … We don’t play with that,” as reported in a FOXNews article last Friday.
However, most thinking American’s believe that he must have approved it–because doing such a thing could not benefit anyone else on Earth but Barack H. Obama in his bid for reelection.
Rep. Peter King (R-NY), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, chimed in first on Sunday, rejecting President Obama’s claim that recent security leaks did not come from the White House–accusing the president of using the leaks, which detailed the administration’s counterterror programs to “build up his reputation” before November, according to a FOXNews article today.
“He’s trying to be like George Patton or John Wayne.”
The gloves-off accusations follow Attorney General Eric Holder‘s decision to appoint two U.S. attorneys to investigate possible unauthorized leaks of classified information.
“This is the most shameful cascade of leaks I’ve ever heard or seen in government,” he said. “It’s clear from those stories [that] this came right from the White House, came right from the National Security Council, came right from the Situation Room. … It has to lead to people very high up in the administration in his White House.”
As such, Rep. King alleged that the leaks must have been “approved from the top,” and accused the president of grandstanding in an election year.
Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, told CBS’ “Face the Nation” Sunday morning that … “This [DOJ investigation] needs to be fair. It shouldn’t be a partisan thing. This should really be about catching the folks who are leaking some very damaging national security information … If it goes to the NSC or Department of Defense or FBI, then they have to go there.”
No one truly expects Attorney General Eric Holder to find any smoking guns (pardon the pun) prior to November, because when it comes to his friend and boss, President Barack Hussein Obama–he couldn’t follow the trail of a bleeding rabbit in fresh snow.
But the Romney DOJ will.
