Hubris, egotism

Obama’s problem

The Ego is an individual鈥檚 self-awareness or consciousness. This conscious acceptance is mainly based on the individual鈥檚 environment from birth onward and is responsible for modifying primarily disorganized anti-social instincts or behavioral dispositions, impulses and compulsions. The Ego is organized and deals with the life analysis of the individual in an organized, realistic manner. This is accomplished in coordination with the Super-Ego which controls the Id (the set of uncoordinated instinctual trends) based in the subconscious. The healthy Super-Ego stops you from doing certain things your Id may want you to do.

Concerning Beaurat Obama鈥檚 self-perceived perfection as a Community Organizer, Orator, Raconteur, Bon Vivant and self-proclaimed Supreme Reverend Al Green Tribute Performer (described as such so as to NOT confuse the reader with his being a presidential impersonator) the jury is still out. The big problem is in recognizing he has generally over-estimated his ability, over-stated his performance and in general, improperly assessed nearly all of the necessary requirements to succeed in politics on the level he鈥檚 at.

Now he鈥檚 sweet-talking the Republicans in Congress with special dining and 鈥渟chmoozing鈥� like a match-maker trying to sell an unwitting couple on the desired marital bliss that鈥檚 questionable at best and socially devastating in its future reality. The problem arises when it鈥檚 recognized the Republicans have so little integrity and are so readily available to have their collective egos stroked they鈥檒l cave to the president based on a thick steak, a bottle of taxpayer funded Merlot and a pat on the rump. It鈥檚 a unique program of 鈥渇eed and breed鈥�. The Republican hierarchy gets fed lavishly and lasciviously while the American public gets screwed. This isn鈥檛 sour grapes; it鈥檚 witnessing government in action.

Obama started his life as a child whose father, a narcissistic Marxist foreign exchange student on the hunt to impregnate American co-eds, did so, and then abandoned his new wife and child to return to Africa. It鈥檚 devastating to understand you weren鈥檛 good enough for the father figure to hang around and be your 鈥渂ig-buddy鈥�. So; mommy and your grand-parents bolster your trampled self-esteem by praising you, your quick intellect, soaring refinement and growing urbanity until you really get to believing it. This is called 鈥渂elieving your own press releases鈥�; something Obama鈥檚 incredibly guilty of in life.

Conflict arises when trying to use other people鈥檚 theories to advance your personal agenda. Alinsky鈥檚 Rules for Radicals are meant to be followed to the letter. No deviations. No eccentricities, abnormalities or deviations from the format. A salesman once told me: 鈥淭he system works so I have to work the system to make the system work鈥�.

Alinsky said:  鈥淓go, as we understand it here, cannot be even vaguely confused with, nor is it remotely related to egotism [selfishness, self-centeredness, self-absorption. Emphasis is mine]. No would-be organizer afflicted with egotism can avoid hiding this from the people with whom he is working; no contrived humility can conceal it. Nothing antagonizes people and alienates them from a would-be organizer more than the revealing flashes of arrogance, vanity, impatience, and contempt of a personal egotism.鈥�

Egotism is what a person experiences based on deep-seated feelings of personal inadequacy. Ego is the conviction and belief in one鈥檚 ability, with no need for individual egotism and in direct controversy to a person鈥檚 actions.

Obama is nothing if not a supreme and severe egotist. He reeks of hubris; excessive pride and ambition, usually leading to the downfall (or failure to accomplish) self-perceived heroic/superhuman goals.

America recognizes Obama isn鈥檛 the only nitwit experiencing these frailties or accentuated absence of character. Congress is rife with worthless people holding themselves in higher esteem than deserved. The position defines the man. The position is an elevated societal illusion. The man is nothing more than a stylized interpretation of what the position should be.
Nothing and none of these people really carry any substance in truth or existence. They鈥檙e ALL empty suits seeking affirmation as statesmen.

You have egotists stroking egotists鈥� egos and selling America short in the process. This is where Obama鈥檚 troubles began since Congress tilted away from his partisan control.

How can an egotist respect his people if he doesn鈥檛 respect himself?

Thanks for listening
