David Brooks Claims Obama Is Schizophrenic!
Well…that’s a slight exaggeration on my part, but he does claim that our Fearless Leader has ‘multiple personalities’. From The Daily Caller, Jeff Poor reporting, we learn [tip of the fedora to Paco]:
Back during the late stages of the 2008 presidential campaign, many in the media were trying to get a grasp of who then-Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama was. It was a question that even Tom Brokaw and Charlie Rose struggled with.
Fast forward to 2011 – New York Times columnist and author of “The Social Animal” David Brooks has finally figured it out, and it’s complicated. On Sunday’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” on CNN, Brooks explained his answer, which involves multiple personalities.
“He’s multiple animals,” Brooks said. “You know, I would say we’re all – we all have multiple personalities. My psychobabble description of him is he’s a very complicated person who has many different selves, all of them authentic, but they come out in different contexts. And he is — has always has the ability to look at other parts of himself from a distance, and so it means he has great power to self-correct and I think it gives him power to see himself. It means that he rarely is all in.”
Oh, I noticed a type typo there Mr. Poor when transcribing what David Chauncey Gardiner Brooks said on TV: It should read, ‘My psycho babble….’
Paco’s comment on this, once again, shames me into admitting I can’t top him for eloquence:
Brooks is starting to sound like a teenage boy who has fallen hard for a selfish, narcissistic girl whose interest in him is limited to getting the occasional lift to the mall because her car’s in the shop. He’s now reduced to making ridiculous excuses in defense of a president who is a cold, calculating ideologue, completely lacking in genuine charm, and so thoroughly arrogant that he is practically indifferent to his increasing reputation for mendacity and fecklessness.
Damn, I wish I had written that.
Hey, Mark Barnett, how about this idea for a new reality show:
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA: IT’S COMPLICATED
What’s that?…oh…I see…you only create and produce Reality Shows, not Unreality Shows…I get it…hey, Mark, do you know Arron Sorkin’s cell number…or dealer’s number?
