The President of United States is a psychopath

POTUS at the SOTU 2015

I'm not a psychiatrist, nor a psychologist, but the president of the United States (POTUS) appeared to have some mental and social issues. POTUS is apparently disconnected from reality and he can never owned up to it. Looking in the face of Americans and mouthing off things that are half-baked and fundamentally untrue, is why his famous "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, period!" earned him the title - "Lie of the Year - 2014". These are some of the observations I had after watching his speech. 

First, the economy is bouncing back, in spite of his harsh policies. It is quite arrogant to take credits for things he didn't create, or for jobs created by an industry, in this case - the oil/gas industry, he fought hard to destroy. In the past, the POTUS went after oil companies calling for the remove of subsidizes that enabled these companies to compete with overseas' corporations and a huge source of federal revenue. In his own words, they are making too much profit and should be stopped. The revolution in the natural gas industry in US is one of the reasons why gas-price came tumbling down, now we see a $1.90/gln average across America, a little above the cost of price when President Bush left office. This is reminiscent of his attack on fast-food and healthy food, but then took credits for jobs created by the fastfood industry, most of them part-time, as a sign that his policies were working. This is laughable. 

Secondly, his college proposals is something I wish was done earlier when he ran for the second time in 2012. What the media people and pundits missed is the fact that POTUS promised students that their college tuition would be lower and affordable. Its been six years since he took office yet tuition went up during that time. In 2008, the cost of one credit hour was $80, not its doubled and rising. His proposal, which he touted across the country, for free two year college - community college level - is nothing but an attempt to reach the age group that helped him won in 2008 and 2012 president election - the so-called millennials. He's also hoping to keep the pressure on GOP and help his party in 2016 using these demography. This is what people called "pandering to the base", something both parties utilized from time to time. If it is true, he needs to tell the students that they'll have to pay a price when they enter the work force after college. His accumulated debt means more taxes, less jobs for people he is trying to help, and also means graduates will find it hard to pay their student loans back.

Taxing the rich, was another highlight of his speech. The difference between the Democrat and the Republican, in my opinion, is that the Republicans would tax people directly and most of the time, they get kicked in the guts. The Democrats, however,  found a way around that by taxing corporations. This is a strategy highlighted by one of Obamacare's architects, Johnathan Gruber, in a few of his videos which he rants against American stupidity and how government exploits their ignorance for its advantage. In this video, Gruber explained how the 2004 Democrat presidential candidate, John Kerry, suggested taxing the health insurance companies instead of the people. This is what you called sticking it to the people from back.


This is one of Obamacare's architect talking about plans to tax the people directly.

The plan to tax Insurance companies was created to demonize the industry. In this clip, Mr. Gruber who worked on Massachussetts healthcare law and the drafting of the Obamcare bill, explained that taxing the people would be suicidal. In fact, former President Bush Sr promised the American people with the famous - "Read my lips no more taxes" pledge but went on to break that promise by raising taxes. Voters turned against him and threw him out of office in his second term bid. To ran away from that trap, the Democrats devised a plan to tax the hell out of health insurance companies, which the CEOs already knew was coming, and have the Ins. companies increase the premiums and the American people will pay the extras. Voters would then turn against Ins. companies, not the government. This is a cheap tactic used by the Democrats for many years. The middle-class who supported Obama in 2008 and 2009 based on his attack on corporations was hard hit by increases on very basic necessities of life; example, hike in gas price, higher coast of foods in supermarkets and grocery stores. The tax on huge corporations, such as gas/oil, means that these companies had to make up the difference by increasing the cost of goods and services. This is what Obama is doing the other night - painting himself as a poor president going after wall Street and huge corporations when in reality, his financiers are Wall Street CEOs. His attack on huge companies is nothing but a huge pile of bullshit.

Finally, Obama got hammered in 2014 midterm election, worst than the defeat he suffered in 2010. However, he appeared defiant and refused to acknowledge the huge GOP sweep on both houses of congress. Besides, political pundits and the Democrat lapdogs of the media never mentioned the fact that Obama's policies were defeated resoundingly at the 2014 polls all across America. Voters rejected the very policies POTUS claimed the other night to be helping the middle-class. Such rejection can only mean one thing - the figures Obama is looking at don't reflect reality. The figures are created by tobacco chewing professors who don't know a dang thing about creating jobs and paying people to do the work, and filing taxes on yearly basis. Take for instance his unemployment rate, this is something he touted for weeks, but then again, the real unemployment rate is in double digit. After the recession, which ended in the first year of his administration, the number of people looking for jobs made up a huge pool often referred to by statisticians as the "universe" of employment seeking citizens. Over time, people started falling out of that "universe" and perhaps settled for unemployment benefits. As the universe of people shrunk, so too is the unemployment rate. The POTUS attributed this to more people entering the work force, which is a huge lie. The number of people in unemployment benefit, foodstamp and disability are, in my opinion, evidence why the falling unemployment rate is nothing but a manipulation of figures by government hacks;all to make things look good for the POTUS. This is disturbing, but not surprising for a party that promised the middle-class everything yet delivering little. In fact, under this president, the middle-class has shrunk significantly. 

God have mercy on our souls.
