Reality Land vs. Fantasyland for Obama

Is the President's need to be liked affecting his job performance?

Concerns are arising about Obama’s health considering his recent decisions.  As a coping mechanism, when stress becomes overwhelming, a person will opt out of a situations that proves to be too heavy for the mind.  Recently, the Commander in Chief chose to appear on television talk shows instead of meeting with world leaders during the annual United Nations convention.  Did choosing Fantasyland - television, instead of reality land - the United Nations, becoming a copping mechanism for this mentality burdened president, as his lack of leadership skills continue to become glaringly more apparent? He continues to seek acceptance by visiting Fantasyland where he will not be asked hard-hitting questions from his adoring Hollywood followers.   Please click on the following link for a look at how our president is handling the stresses of the day.

As the state of our country’s security continues to falter, the inexperienced president is showing out of touch with reality behaviors. He must continue to put forth the narrative that Al-Qaeda has been crushed so he can appear to be a strong leader.  His continued avoidance of the reality is troubling.  At what point did the White House know it was a terrorist attack and not the made up fantasy of a movie put out by the White House? There must be accountability.  He continues to seek acceptance in Fantasyland, instead of performing his job as leader of the free world.  While many have seen this trend for the last few months, it was glaringly apparent, to many on the left, with his latest trip to the land of Fantasy during an attack on our country.

Why does Obama refuse to speak to the American people about the terrorist attack in Libya on 911?  What did he say about the attack?  “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam,” were his exact words.  The Obama administration, which is sending a taxpayer-subsidized cash gift of $450 million to Muslim Brotherhood-run Egypt has not even stopped the payments in light of the recent attack on our embassy.   Why will the word Al-Qaeda not come out of his mouth?  How did the ambassador die?  Why did he send in the FBI to investigate instead of our military?  What is his staff covering up?  His inability to admit what happened in Libya is troubling in many ways?  Is his lack of experience in national security is playing heavily into his inability to contend with difficulties about the 911 attack.  His answer is to ignore the problem and seek the acceptance of Hollywood once again. 

What is it about the mind of our commander in chief that will not allow him to admit failure?  How is it the man that pledged to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, both foreign and domestic, can’t stand up and address our country about the 911 terrorist attack in 2012?  It is very troubling that since he cannot blame the attack on anyone, he has instead chosen to ignore the situation and have his staff reduce it to a movie trailer!

Bush not only traveled to the attack sight, stood on the rubble, but he boldly took the bullhorn and announced to the world that we would get those who attacked us. Compare that famous scene to Obama’s bumbling words on The View as he could not admit the United States was under attack around the world by terrorist groups, Muslim terrorist groups.  There, I said it!  His weakness on foreign policy has come back to attack him and he is in denial.

His staff blanked the Sunday news shows with stories that is was an offensive movie that got our fellow Americans killed, all the while knowing it was a planned terrorist attack against our country.  Obama, the blind, eight days after the attack was still in denial. Our UN ambassador claimed it was a movie deal gone wrong.  Finally, when pressed by the Senate leaders for more intel, Secretary of State Clinton, announced it was a terrorist attack.  The White House’s Press Secretary admitted the United States of America was attacked by terrorist in a very uneasy meeting before the press core.  If you are a follower of the FBI body language reading methods, you will see shame written all over this poor fellow’s face.   

Yet, Obama & Michelle, the “Let Them Eat Cake First Lady of Arrogance,” choose to go visit Fantasyland & the adoring women of The View & avoid the reality of the day.  No one pressed him when he bumbled around for the answer as to IF we were attacked by Al-Qaeda.  No hard questions from the panel because they need Obama for their ratings.  They did not want to embarrass him like David Letterman embarrassed him by asking a "tough" question like, “What is the amount of our national debt?” which Obama did not know.  Calling himself  “EYE CANDY,” in an obvious troubled cry out for his need of acceptance during this time of trial. 

The reality of what happened on 911, in the year 2012, has not yet reached the president’s brain.  He raised his hand, over a book, and swore to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.  How many more Americans will have to die before the BOOB TUBE STAR WANNABE Prez will show up to a National Security meeting and listen to the Joint Chiefs?  

What once was thought to be a man enamored with Hollywood is very quickly revealing itself as Obama’s need to escape into Fantasyland to deal with the reality of being the president.  His own staff is busy putting out statements that Obama will not be ready for the debates.  Are they pre qualifying the upcoming debates ahead of time as they have seen what his mental state truly is?  

Admitting you made a mistake is hard for anyone.  It takes strength to see the truth and courage to change.  Yet, the past two weeks have left many on the left questioning what the president is thinking when it comes to national security.  Many of the 20% of independent voters are quickly moving their votes over to the Romney camp.  Realizing that he will garner more votes by visiting Fantasyland, Obama refuses to do the hard job of being President and the voters in Fantasyland are just fine with that.  Let’s face it, we need a man that can handle the reality of the job, not one who constantly needs to escape into adoring Fantasyland.
