Barack Obama: A Tale of
Two Minds
Who is the real Barack
Obama? Is he the person who takes his cues from a teleprompter or the one behind
the curtain of deception? Schizophrenia has come to the Oval Office. Americans
are not sure which President will greet them on a daily basis. The man who took
the Presidential Oath on January 20, 2009 no long inhabits the confines of the
White House. His elusive double has taken control leaving no doubt his best
interests do not favor ours. In his carefully crafted speeches President Obama’s
doppelganger projects divisiveness and anger to a nation bleeding from hate.
Conciliation and compromise are not elements embedded in his demagoguery.
Antithetically the President was elevated to his office based on the latter themes.
Transitional influences from 2009 onward affected this President’s demeanor and
performance. He became more detached from day to day management of the country
concentrating instead on personal pleasures. Shifting many responsibilities to
the shoulders of appointed minions it has been difficult to know who is in
charge of the American universe. Scandal plagued Administration aside an array
of challenges to his management style has the country questioning: Are we a
leaderless society? Corrupted by socialistic ideals in his more youthful years
his game plan plays to a sub-segment of society which excludes a vast majority
of Americans. Currently his mind betrays his inability to deal with reality.
After an election that repudiated his Administration the President verbally
attacked those who could bring an end to his reign. Nowhere in his recent
speech did he concede the electorate, through the Republican landslide, had rejected
his political agenda. As usual he blamed conservative media for the massive
Congressional changes ahead not his failed policies. This nation has come to
know two Obamas. One reflects a person who depends on mechanistic jargon to
coral the unsuspecting and the other a confrontational demagogue whose values
elude defining. Those trained in the art and science of psychoanalysis may see
shades of gray in the President’s personality I have not described. Yet the
central theme remains the same. America has a leader who doesn’t lead. A man
who believes he can individually coerce a nation to follow his trail without
dissent. In his fictitious World only his values and evaluations count. The
public be damned. As the new power structure takes hold in Congress their first
priority is a moral imperative, contain Barack Obama. Otherwise his alter ego
may consume more of America leaving only the remnants to his successor.
