The truth as I see it is this .. an Obama presidency will signal weakness. He will be tried more than McCain would . McCain would have the Reagan effect - our enemies KNOW McCain will not mess around . They all ready know that.
A McCain presidency will be one that does exactly what it 'can' to do straighten stuff out . There will be no miracles, uh .. cause there are none in this instance. However, McCain is not going anywhere .. He will only want to do the best to ensure America's legacy and of course, his own .. He is not trying to make a name for himself - he all ready has and we all know him ..on the other hand - Obama , well....
...That Obama will be tested is a given, my fear is that he will overcompensate to try & prove himself as a 'tough' guy.
He is such a narcissist .. and truly has no control over that and it should give one pause .. here are the symptoms
A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:
1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
3. believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
4. requires excessive admiration
5. has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
6. is inter personally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
7. lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
8. is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him
9. shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
.. Let's just look at number 1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance - exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements
To check off this item, a shrink would only have to look at the fact that Obama chose to run for president with almost no relevant qualifications or experience and with such a thin resume that he has barely ever held a full-time job
He has based his presidential campaign on the fact that he was a “community organizer” in the 1980s even though he had no tangible accomplishments
was president of the Harvard Law Review in the 1990s though he wrote no articles for publication..
his undistinguished tenure as a state senator in IL, and an anti-war speech in 1992 that wasn’t even audio- or video-taped and didn’t rate even a mention in the local papers.
Oh, and he wrote two autobiographical books by his mid-40s.
He claims to have been a “civil rights attorney” although he has argued no cases in court and a "constitutional law professor” ...but he was really a part-time adjunct instructor who never published a single peer reviewed article.
That's just no. 1 and that is an easy one to prove, well actually some of the other definitions are easy to prove also. ..
To me this alone shows so much sickness and arrogance combined that it is enough to make you shudder .. then you take into consideration his very OWN comments about it himself .. My Gosh - he said himself - that he would not be ready to run for President and that he needed experience and for those reasons he would not run ...
Of course , I have more .. but I'm off now .. going out for awhile .. ;)) ..
