From the 'If Only These Silly American Voters Would Think Clearly' Department . . .

Our Psychiatrist-in-Chief has diagnosed the cause of the impending electoral thumping his party is projected to take on November 2, 2010. It is the lack of 'clear thinking' of the people he pretends to serve, which has resulted in 'fear and frustration', according to Dr. Obama. Further still, according to Dr. Obama, the American electorate is 'hardwired' such that 'fear and frustration' cause the unclear thinking that is leading these poor saps to oppose his policies.

WEST NEWTON, Mass. - President Barack Obama said Americans' "fear and frustration" is to blame for an intense midterm election cycle that threatens to derail the Democratic agenda.

"Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does
(sic) not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we're hardwired not to always think clearly when we're scared,” Obama said Saturday evening in remarks at a small Democratic fundraiser Saturday evening. “And the country's scared.”

It's unclear how telling would-be voters that they aren't thinking clearly is supposed to enhance the electoral prospects of Democrats.

But Dr. Obama's diagnosis cuts both ways. If his diagnosis has any merit, then surely it explains his own election to the office he currently occupies. Perhaps those who voted for Obama weren't thinking clearly, owing to their fear and frustration, fear and frustration stoked by Obama himself. In fact, he continues his attempts to stoke fear and frustration in attempting to get his fellow leftists elected to Congress. If he is successful (he won't be), according to his own psycho-babble, he MUST conclude then that their election to office did not result from 'clear thinking'.

Dr. Obama can't have it both ways. Well, he CAN have it both ways with liberals, who will always give him whatever slack he needs, including their votes and their campaign contributions.

But 'facts', which Obama implies he's very interested in, are clear: Along with Pelosi and Reid, et.al., have saddled the nation with trillion dollar annual deficits as faar as the eye can see. They have expanded the roll and scope of the federal government. On their watch, unemployment has skyrocketed and will not decline significantly any time soon. Home foreclosures are at an all-time high, as is the number of Americans on food stamps. After talking incessantly about 'shovel-ready' jobs that his non-stimulative 'stimulus' legislation was supposed to produce, he now admits that there WERE no such 'shovel-ready' jobs in the first place.

It is' fear' and 'frustration' that has fueled every single piece of legislation that he has passed, supported, or still hopes to pass. From the 'stimulus', to Obamacare, to Cap and Trade, Obama stoked the very 'fear' and 'frustration' he now complains is responsible for the lack of clear thinking killing his party's electoral prospects.

Obviously, it has never crossed his mind that his policies might have something to do with opposition to his party. No, no. With Obama, it's always someone else's fault.

This is what happens when an arrogant, condescending, and economically inept man is elected to office.

Hope and Change . . .
