HA! HA! HA! LMAO!!! Openness? HA! HA! HA! LMAO!!! Obama? HA! HA! HA! LMAO!!! Before we go any further, let us define irony:
the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning
Now then, does the title of this post make sense? It should, unless of course you’re one of “those people” who are Obama-ideologues that blindly follow the pied piper off the roof of the Empire State building.
President Obama’s only event at the White House that wasn’t closed to the press on Wednesday was a ceremony in which he accepted an award for being open to the press.
According to his public schedule, Obama had four behind-closed-doors meetings from 10 a.m. to 3:05 p.m.: his daily briefing, a talk with the USAID administrator, a session with senior advisers, and a huddle with his defense secretary. All of the meets are in the Oval Office, and all of them are “closed press,” the White House says.
But at 2:55 p.m., Obama emerged to “accept an award from a coalition of good government groups and transparency advocates to recognize ‘his deep commitment to an open and transparent government—of, by, and for the people’ in conjunction with Sunshine Week,” the White House said in guidance to reporters.
And, importantly: “There will be a pool spray at the top.”
The White House didn’t specify what Obama will say, if anything, when he accepted the award. But he probably won’t mention that his administration acted on fewer requests for information last year even as it was asked for more, a tally documented by the AP.
And he also probably won’t talk about his aggressive effort to prosecute federal workers who leak information to shed light on wrongdoing. Or that despite his anti-lobbyist rhetoric, his aides are meeting with lobbyists just outside the White House, allowing the administration to keep the meetings off the books from public view.
We wonder if he’ll even take a question from the press pool, a practice Obama seems to have grown to hate. Read More
Let me get this right. He actually accepted an award on “openness” without any feelings of guilt? He accepted an award about himself? No, no, forget hypocrisy, it’s not that. Well, yeah it is, but that’s not the issue here.
Remember a while back I said that he is mentally ill? Well, he is. Other people have noticed the mental illness of this president as well. He is, by definition, a psychopath. He does indeed suffer from psychopathy. All of the symptoms and actions displayed by this man fall in to the clinical definition of a psychopath. No, I’m not making this up or stating an opinion.
I’ve done the research, talked to my uncle who is a psychiatrist, found a lot of material, and this piece is the best short summary I could find. Everything else was too long and this post would go on forever. Go ahead and take a gander:
We have all heard these phrases before. “Violent psychopath,” “Psychopathic serial killer,“Psychopathic murderer,” and/or “Deranged psychopath.” Yet as we will soon discover, each phrase embodies a widespread misconception regarding psychopathic personality, often called psychopathy or sociopathy. Indeed, few disorders are as misunderstood as is psychopathic personality. We will do our best to set the record straight and dispel popular myths about this condition.
Charming but Callous
First described systematically by Medical College of Georgia psychiatrist Hervey M. Cleckley in 1941, psychopathy consists of a specific set of personality traits and behaviors. Superficially charming, psychopaths tend to make a good first impression on others and often strike observers as remarkably normal. Yet they are self-centered, dishonest and undependable… Largely devoid of guilt. Psychopaths routinely offer excuses for their reckless and often outrageous actions, placing blame on others instead. They rarely learn from their mistakes or benefit from negative feedback…
Research also suggests that a sizable number of psychopaths may be walking among us in everyday life. Some investigators have even speculated that “successful psychopaths”—those who attain prominent positions in society—may be overrepresented in certain occupations, such as politics…

What did I tell you? The definition fits him to a tee. Like it or not, he is what he is, and that appears to be psychopathic.
