Over at the Independent Sentinel, Sara Noble observed that Barack Obama lives in an alternate universe:
As the American involvement in the Afghan war draws down, President Obama assured the troops that Afghanistan will no longer “be a source of terrorist attacks again.”
It must be nice to live in an alternative universe like his where the facts don’t matter.
She continues:
Still, the president said, “the world is better, it’s safer, it’s more peaceful, it’s more prosperous and our homeland is protected because of you and the sacrifices each and every day. So on a day when we celebrate the Prince of Peace and many of us count or blessings one of the greatest blessings we have is the extraordinary dedication and sacrifices you all make. We could not be more thankful. I know I speak for everyone in the entire country when I say, we salute you.”
Are we supposed to just believe this?
Obama’s alternate universe extends to the domestic United States as well. Obama thinks race relations have improved in the US- and because of Him:
WASHINGTON – President Obama says the United States is less racially divided despite the tensions raging from deadly police shootings and emotional protests.
Compared to six years ago when he made history as the first black president, Obama says American race relations are on the upswing.
“I actually think that it’s probably in its day-to-day interactions less racially divided,” Obama told National Public Radio.
America doesn’t agree:
A Bloomberg Politics survey out this month found a majority of Americans – 53 percent – feel interactions between white and black communities have deteriorated since Obama took office.
Eric Holder also thinks race relations are better because of Him:
Attorney General Eric Holder insisted to MSNBC earlier this month that “we are in a better place than we were before” in race relations since Barack Obama was elected president.
The truth is Obama and Holder have made race relations much worse, especially in law enforcement:
“ Law-enforcement officials are appalled at the way the Obama administration exploited tragedies in Ferguson, Mo., and New York City to appeal to its political base. David Clarke, a Democrat who is the African-American sheriff of Milwaukee, doesn’t mince his words.
The thing that disappoints me the most is some very powerful people in this country — the president of the United States, Attorney General Eric Holder and Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York — have created a pathway that contributes to an unjustifiable hatred of law enforcement officers across the country,” he told WMAL radio in Washington, DC. “They trashed an entire profession with a broad brush because it was politically expedient for them to do so.”
Holder, who thinks we are “a nation of cowards” on race, has infused the Justice Department with the “racial justice” movement that falsely argues the police “subconsciously” discriminate through the use of “disproportionate” means such as traffic stops. It has forced 15 cities into consent decrees to end such practices, for which it has almost no evidence.
The Obama-Holder policies are paying dividends- for criminals:
A lawsuit by Seattle police officers against Justice charges that the new policies have led to “hesitation and paralysis” in officers being able to carry out their duty to protect the public from criminals. The suit notes that crime rates have climbed in Seattle — with aggravated assaults up 14%, car theft up 44% and murders up 21%. It is those trends that should scare New Yorkers about the Obama-Holder approach to law enforcement.
How bad have they made things?
Even honest liberals agree that Holder’s Justice Department has been confrontational and polarizing. Juan Williams of Fox News, the author of “Eyes on the Prize: America’s Civil Rights Years,” laments that “the Justice Department has devolved into the heart of Washington darkness, the absolute pit of modern political polarization in my lifetime.”
Obama’s making Al Sharpton his go-to guy on race signaled that Obama was taking the low road:
One reason for that is that, thanks to direct support from Holder and Obama, Al Sharpton has now become the nation’s leading civil-rights leader. Far from becoming the “refined agitator” his apologists now claim him to be, Sharpton is the same racial charlatan and rabble-rouser of the past using slightly new tricks.
Sheriff Clarke says the Obama administration set a pattern early on that it would ignore bad behavior and bad actors if it suited their political purposes and their warped racial ideology.
Sheriff David Clarke:
“I think these two [President Obama and Attorney General Holder] have indicated their dislike of the police even if it’s in coded language.” He notes that in the wake of the killing of two cops last weekend in New York, Mayor de Blasio and others are now issuing “contrite statements about how they respect and admire our law enforcement officers. I think it’s hollow. I don’t accept it.”
Neither do I.
It’s all garbage. This all fits the MO of the Community Organizer-in Chief. Pitting groups against each other, creating an atmosphere of hatred and mistrust- it’s how Obama rolls. It is the source of his power. He and Holder have instigated a war on police. Cops all over the country are being shot at with two kills racked up so far. Criminals are emboldened to take action against the police where they might have hesitated previously. Obama is getting what he wants.
But since He has stated that race relations have improved and everything is fine we can again expect the Obama sycophants to parrot those words despite the reality. They live in Obama’s alternate universe along with Him.
In medicine it’s said that neurotics build castles in the sky and psychotics live in them. This is a fine example.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 40 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 45 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter who is in the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
Obama lives in an alternate universe, of that there is no doubt. And he stays there via his ‘Yes’ men and the MSM. But it’s America that pays the price for his delusions. Therein lies the rub.
And over the weekend, while vacationing, the Supreme Leader decided his golf game was of extreme importance. So important that when his T-Time conflicted with a couple of military weddings scheduled at the golf course on the Marine Base, the wedding had to be moved out of his way so he could get his game in. WTF?! What a stellar way to encourage better morale in the military.
Obama has been delusional for so long he doesn’t even realize when he’s being absurd.
Like way back when he was one month in office and Professor Gates was arrested for trying to break into his own home.
About the incident Obama said, ”The police acted stupidly.”
Then, when he’d been proven wrong, he demanded a ”beer summit,” to rehabilitate himself.
But he was so sure he’d look great just being there that he neglected Prof. Gates on the way to the beer table.
So, right on camera, was a smug Obama, pretending to be ”peacemaker” between a black professor and his arresting officer while behind him that poor crippled professor was being helped down each step by his new friend, police officer Crowley.

@Scott+in+Oklahoma: Ok, I’m certainly not an Obozo fan, but on this I doubt he is guilty. I suspect he didn’t know about the conflict, his handlers probably did the deal without his knowledge and approval. I understand he called the Couple and apologized and they were happy that he called. So give him a pass on this.
For those fans of Obama: If you can list any accomplishment by him and his admin, I’d like to see a list. I’ve tried hard to think of anything at all and I can’t come up with even one thing that is good for the country. Yes, he’s done things, but they were harmful. So come on, let us know what you’re proud of him accomplishing.
1.
@Warren: He lives in an alternate universe, but he wants to impose that universe on us. How can anyone that even pretends to want to present an image of honest objectivity and trust EVER invite Sharpton, someone with zero credibility, a reputation for lying whenever possible, someone that snitched on mob members to keep himself out of jail for dealing drugs, someone that owes $4.5 million in taxes and expresses no intent to pay them, into the sanctity of the White House?
@Redteam: I suspect you are correct, but what does that tell you about his people, who think they are doing his bidding? After all the negative publicity Obama has gotten over golfing through crisis, golfing after beheadings, putting golf before duty, disrespecting the military, would any handler in their right mind NOT tell Obama that there was a wedding scheduled during his (next) golf outing? Were that anyone else, the staffer responsible would be sacked. Obama, however, makes it up with a phone call and goes about his day. He probably did not know, in advance, but going ahead with the golfing in spite of the scheduled wedding is the culture of this administration.
Every year Gallup polls Americans on who they most admire Obama has won 7 times in a row. Conservatives did NOT fare well in that poll
@Nanny: The police arrested a poor crippled man ??????
@john: Proof of how ignorant of the LAW you are that you had to ask.
Under the LAW when you have to handcuff a person they should always be under arrest first.
The man was trying to break into a home.
(ACTUALLY, he was having his DRIVER do the breaking in, he was directing the break-in.)
But he was NOT arrested for breaking into his own home, if you recall:
Crowley explained he was investigating the report of a break-in in progress; as he did so, Gates opened the front door and said, “Why, because I’m a black man in America?”http://www.samefacts.com/archives/Police%20report%20on%20Gates%20arrest.PDF
http://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Analysis-What-they-saw-during-the-Gates-arrest-692.php
Crowley’s report states that he believed Gates was lawfully in the residence, but that he was surprised and confused by Gates’ behavior, which included a threat that Crowley did not know who he was “messing with.” Crowley then asked Gates for a photo ID so as to verify he was the resident of the house; Gates initially refused, but then did supply his Harvard University identification card. Crowley wrote that Gates repeatedly shouted requests for his identification. Crowley then told Gates that he was leaving his residence and that if Gates wanted to continue discussing the matter, he would speak to him outside. Gates replied, “Yeah, I’ll speak with your mama outside.” http://www.samefacts.com/archives/Police%20report%20on%20Gates%20arrest.PDF
On the 9-1-1 dispatcher audio recordings, a man’s loud voice is heard in the background at several points during Sgt. Crowley’s transmissions.http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2009/07/28/gates_arrest_audio_indicates_race_was_not_factor_at_start/
Gates stepped onto his front porch and continued to yell at him, accusing him of racial bias and saying he had not heard the last of him. Faced with this tumultuous behavior from Gates now outside his residence, Crowley warned Gates that he was becoming disorderly. When Gates ignored this warning and persisted in his behavior, and likewise ignored a second warning from Crowley, Crowley informed him that he was under arrest. http://www.samefacts.com/archives/Police%20report%20on%20Gates%20arrest.PDF
@john: I’m sorry, john, I’m confused; is it even or odd days which the left believes in polls?
@john: John, 50% of the people in this country can’t even name the president. You ever see those ‘on the street’ interviews. One recent one asked what state the Boston Tea Party was in and every one that answered said Boston, except one that said England. In case you’re wondering, it was Massachusetts. Not one person can ever name the vice president. Half or more can’t name the president. So even if they said Obozo, and then asked what they admired him for, they couldn’t give an answer. So don’t jump up and down when a poll produces the results you wish for.
Just so you know how valuable these rankings are, Gordon Hinckley got 1% , Liu Xiaobo got 1%, Dick Cheney got 1%, Newt Gingrich got 1%, Rush Limbaugh got 1%, Donald Trump got 1%, George W Bush got 10%, Zippy got 16%. Oh, and Thomas Monson got 1%. He is a really popular guy.
But before you get too excited, the current President always gets the top spot, in the US. Most people can’t think of anyone else. Richard Nixon won 4 years in a row and Ronald Reagan 8 years in a row. Eisenhower, a Repub, won it 13 times.
Bill: It’s odd days, but only when the day starts with a T.
