NewsFlavor - Obama's arrogance from a White House insider

NewsFlavor - White House Insider: The Obama Plan – Part Three

Insider: I’m at my desk here right? We’re sitting here having this conversation. How about we take a look at what the president would look like in the same situation?  Walk into that room – that office of his on the 2nd floor. He spends less and less time downstairs – that’s Daley’s world now. The president doesn’t like the Oval Office much – he’s made that point repeatedly to more than a few at the White House. He prefers to be upstairs, no suit. No shoes. No joke —

Ulsterman:  (Interrupts) —Shoes?

Insider: Yeah – shoes. President Obama, when he is in his de facto office upstairs – the one that is closer to Jarrett’s own office, and a short hop over to the residence, he spends his time there often in shorts, or sweats, a t-shirt, and those sandal things…flip-flops. There is a large screen television in there and that’s where hours of his time are spent when he is actually at the White House. Day in and day out. The First Lady rules the residence, and the president heads over to his 2nd floor West Wing study.

Starting around last spring, he started to take regular briefings in there. And the instructions that went out on those briefings to the president were that they were to be most importantly – brief. Anything more than about 15 minutes is unacceptable to Obama. So let’s look through the eyes of someone heading into Barack Obama’s upstairs office at the White House to give him a briefing. Maybe it’s on national security. Maybe the economy. Energy policy. Whatever – doesn’t matter. The scenario being played out these days is pretty much the same regardless of the particulars. You knock on the door – it’s always closed. Always.

Often you have to knock for some time before being given approval from inside to enter. The big screen will be on – the volume loud. You can easily hear it from outside the door. The sports channels are the ones most commonly playing, though sometimes the channel will be set to music, or Fox News. Sometimes Valerie Jarrett might be there, but most often it is just the president and his personal aide. A large leather chair will be facing the television – it’s well worn. Not part of the White House furnishings but something the president must have brought in from back home. That’s where you’ll most often find the President of the United States – the most powerful man in the free f**king world. He often sits with one leg draped over one of the chair’s arms and the other leg stuck straight onto the floor. Shorts, sweats, a t-shirt, and like I said, no shoes or just those sandal things that so many of the younger people like to wear these days. And that leg that’s draped over an arm of the chair will be bopping up and down, like … like someone with  a lot of nervous energy. Like a kid does.

And there’s the smell of smoke hanging on the president. The guy never quite smoking – that was all bullsh*t. I told you that already. In fact, there’s one of those smokeless ash trays on the desk in there. And that desk, it’s a mess. Magazines spread out all over it. Stupid shit too. Real low brow reading material the president is into. People. Rolling Stone. Lots of those tabloid things. The most common thread with this sh*t is it’s about the president. If it’s about him, he’s gonna read it. Good or bad – doesn’t matter. If somebody is talking about him, he’s reading it. He’s watching it. Whatever. The guy’s self-obsession is off the f**king charts. >>>

I’m trying to lay out the psychological foundation of the son-of-a-bitch. You think people might want to know what this man is really like? How everything around him – the whole f**king image … it’s a charade. It’s a lie. He fooled me – he fooled a whole lot of us. And he is frightened every hour of every day that the country will find out. But this realization, this little part of Obama’s self-awareness, it’s getting beat down by the guy’s absolute arrogance and when necessary, willingness to over-reach acceptable executive authority. Yeah, it’s a lot more important than the fact he dresses like a slob when the cameras aren’t on, or that he lies over and over again just because it’s convenient and the media continues to let him get away with it … it’s about how far he will go to keep the charade up, right? How far, and who is he willing to throw under that bus? Who can be sacrificed to keep up the lie that is Barack Obama? To keep the scandals down? To keep people quiet?

>>> So will he stir up the race issue if it means guilting or scaring white voters to keep him in the White House? Hell yes he will. He’s been doing that sh*t his whole damn life! You wanna say so what to that? You wanna see this country torn apart by race because we have a president who sees it as a viable political tool? Don’t answer – let me talk here. I’m laying some things out I’ve been holding back on, so if you wanna hear it, let me talk. Don’t interrupt me with one of your little questions…

The race card, the racial thing – whatever it’s gonna be called, it is the number one asset this administration believes it has to win in 2012.  Their own polling data has shown that to be true over and over again. But how far are they willing to push that? >>>

Ulsterman:  How are you defeating Barack Obama in 2012? Just give me a quick outline so I know what to look for. So people reading this know what to look for. A simple and concise summary of what you are doing – you and those you say are helping. >>>

Insider:  Remove Eric Holder from the DOJ. That is underway. You know all about that – or at least what I have told you. That is the scandal part of all of this. Initially we tripped up, but now it’s back on track. We need Congress to push it to its conclusion. >>>

That opens up opportunities to bypass the DOJ firewall, and it appears this can take place at a time when the voters are starting to pay attention as we get closer to the 2012 election. I believe that is why Issa and others have been so…cautious on this. There is no real benefit to proceeding quickly – let it play out, build momentum for the rest of the year, and hang it around the president’s neck as he is trying to win re-election in 2012.

Next we are really pushing, and pushing hard, to get a primary challenger against Obama. Hoping to have this in place by the fall. This — >>>

Interesting stuff. And theres more. And the recent NYT hit piece on Darrell Issa does seem to prove he’s been effective and they are worried he has more cards to play. But I suspect that nothing will come from any of this. I Remember what happened in Kenya after Obama’s first cousin Raila Odinga lost his bid to be elected president ...

About 50 parishioners were locked into the Assemblies of God church before it was set ablaze. >>>

By mid-February 2008, more than 1,500 Kenyans were killed. Many were slain by machete-armed attackers. >>> Villages lay in ruin. Many of the atrocities were perpetrated by Muslims against Christians.

One connection between Obama and Odinga:[/i]

Oh -- and Nero wore sandals too.

Meh, I don't see either Issa or the anti-Obama Dems being able to break Holder out.  He has no shame or sense of proportion, he thinks he's on a mission and so does Obama, neither one of them would see him leave the office voluntarily under any circumstances.  It would take a successful formal impeachment process to get rid of him and Obama would demand Reid back him to the hilt in that, which Reid would.  It would take a revolt by the Senate Dems at that late point in the process to ever dump him.

muzzies wear flip flops everywhere, jus' sayin'

I agree with you, DAT.  I also think that Eric Holder has much to answer for, when the Republicans retake the White House.  I wouldn't be surprised to see him being the target of a thorough investigation, and winding up pleading, or being found, guilty to/of all sorts of various felonies at the Federal level.

[DumbAss Tanker]

Sadly, one of his most heinous travesties was dropping the Black Panther case, which I must say through clenched teeth was entirely within his lawful discretion as AG to do.  I would love for them to tie him into Gunrunner and some falsified/perjured attempt to cover that involvement, though, and see him go down for that (Because my personal and totally unsubstantiated opinion is that he's guilty as all Hell on it, FWIW...after the Charlie Foxtrot at Waco and all the fallout from it, I cannot believe that kind of ATFE/FBI operation would not have had to be personally approved by and briefed periodically to the AG himself).

And not to mention operation fast and furious ...

Hi,

Wonder if there will be a trade off.  Drop the charges against Rumsfeld or Holder is the next target......

Dear Lord what, and I say what, happens to America if Obama wins another 4 years with no worry about reelection and goes full run for whatever he wishes?????

These are interesting times, will America be gutted by this not quite right in the head man???

So far I thought Obama had a set plan for the country to make some changes, however, now I believe this man has no idea what to do unless told to by his advisers.  Now it seems he does not even listen to them, who are they to question him?? 

You know the deal at work, someone becomes a supervisor and the job goes to their head, no more Mr. nice guy, the boss is now in full blown EGO and even takes on the higher ups. Every thing wrong is someone Else's fault.

This President scares me, he is so focused on his legacy that the world can go to hell in a hand basket.

Is America strong enough to ride out the damage he has and will cause???    Can our politicians go against him knowing that to do so they may loose their carears, money and fame???

Who the Hell is this man we elected with little knowledge, past experience, or past history of???? 

The fall of America will not be blamed on Obama but the people that voted him in.

As Ive always said... America may survive an 0bama, but I doubt it can survive an electorate so happily ignorant and/or apathetic as to put him into office.
