So writes Commentary’s Jonathan S. Tobin
As I wrote last night, President Obama’s attack mode during the Boca Raton debate seemed to suggest that he was the challenger trailing in the race rather than the incumbent nursing an alleged lead. But the president’s nasty streak is also displaying itself on the campaign trail, where he has been trying out one-liners about his rival like a would-be comic at open mic night at a comedy club. Last week’s big yuck was his “Romnesia” crack that alludes to the fact that Romney has changed his positions on some issues. Today, he doubled down on that one by saying Romney had “stage 3 Romnesia” at a rally in Delray Beach, Florida.
One might ask what exactly about cancer, a disease whose progress is generally referred to in stages in that manner, is so funny? But even if we are ready to give him a pass for showing bad taste, one has to question the strategy being employed here. For several months, the entire Democratic campaign seemed predicated on derision and demonization of Romney. But in the first presidential debate the GOP candidate blew that effort out of the water, changing not only the direction of the race but rendering much of the Obama campaign’s material obsolete if not completely irrelevant. Yet despite that, the president keeps playing the same losing hand aimed at denigrating an opponent who strikes most Americans as inherently reasonable. That makes one wonder whether the president’s condescending attitude as well as his sarcasm has a lot more to do with his anger at Romney’s strength and staying power than it does with any tactical political plan. More and more, it’s sounding as if President Obama is just plain mad at Romney because of the growing possibility that he’s going to lose the election.

Narcissists have difficulty accepting the fact that others don’t share in their magnanimous sense of superiority. Why, it makes him downright cross. Hey, bub, face it, you just might lose!
Nobamas Narcissistic life is inexcusable and a complete lie from his pathetic inception. He was not born in US, Arabs paid for his education and most spineless of all… he has surrounded himself by socialist, Marxist, Communists zealots and shills. “I got a free phone from obama! “ You o-vomit supporters are all a poor excuse for dogs let alone humans. He will lose the elections in November and as all evil pigs, wallow in his own self induced excrement. PS – Trump was “Right” all along.
Un-presidential isn’t the description. Assama bin laden Obama is EVIL and should be, ARRESTED, TRIED, CONVICTED and EXECUTED, NOW. He is the original, LYING, TYRANT PUNK. Heavy on the PUNK. What a bunch of jerks that elected this PRICK. Sparky, AMERICAN and ONE WHO WILL be there when, not IF the REVOLUTION STARTS.
