Not about you, huh?

By Michelle Malkin  •  July 22, 2009 11:23 AM

Via JWF, Obama proves that it is indeed all about him:

Grassley said he spoke with a Democratic House member last week who shared Obama’s bleak reaction during a private meeting to reports that some factions of House Democrats were lining up to stall or even take down the overhaul unless leaders made major changes.

“Let’s just lay everything on the table,” Grassley said. “A Democrat congressman last week told me after a conversation with the president that the president had trouble in the House of Representatives, and it wasn’t going to pass if there weren’t some changes made … and the president says, ‘You’re going to destroy my presidency.’”

    First thing I would like for us to do is vote him out of a job — too bad we have to wait until 2012 to do that!

    Then we can send him back to Kenya to live with his brother in a mud hut. We can tell the liberals he has found true meaning in his life by joining the Peace Corps!

    MO can join him and they can put the kids to work in the fields, raising goats and chickens.

    I don’t think I’ve ever read a more self-obsessed statement as this. This is what this man is about. No matter that this legislation is about one of the single most important aspects of the USA economy and also the well being of the USA citizens. It’s all about The One and his ego. I’m always wary when pushy salesmen try to rush me into a purchase, that’s usually when I say “I’ll think about it”

    I agree. And this President still doesn’t think anyone will find out that he is not even a U.S. citizen. He is truly delusional. He will fall hard. I pray it will happen soon. And he needs to take his mafia with him.

    Me thinks Obama needs to be in a recovery program. One of the signs of an addictive dysfunctional mindset is when you make everyone else responsible for your failures.

    What he really needs is therapy to heal all his f-d up identity issues from the dysfunctional family life. Eveything he’s trying to do with this country and the rest of the world is externalizing his attempts to resolve his inner struggle. Frankly, I feel sorry for the guy, but not so much that I’m willing to sacrifice the fate of our country for the sake of his neurosis.

    Throughout the centuries, preserved in the history of the cultures of the world, we are reminded of the danger of the ego:

    The holy Sadhu frowned with displeasure and said, “The death-knell has sounded! The kingdom is ruined. Everyone is thinking of leaving this kingdom and going to another. The king has become drunk with his own little self. He no longer cares for his people. There is famine and distress everywhere. There are worms in all fruits. The mango tastes like mud. Life here is no longer worth living: “Ego Destroys”.

    Man does not possess an ego, he is the ego.When we get immersed in this ego, we become self-centered and start believing that the whole world revolves around us. We believe that we are the center of the universe and everyone must pay attention to us.

    The ego exists in every human being. As long as it remains, man cannot achieve anything good,nor secure God’s grace. Bali shed his ego when he told the Lord that he had no more land to give after the Lord had measured the earth and heaven’ by two steps and that he was offering himself for the third step. “My ego had warped my mind. Lord, destroy that ego by placing your redeeming foot on my head,” he said. The Lord by placing his foot on Bali and pressing him down to the nether world destroyed also his ego and thereby sanctified him.
