Is It My Imagination?

Or does Obama look terrible in this photograph?

Maybe it's the lighting, but he appears jaundiced.

And gaunt. Very gaunt.

He looks well beyond the age of 50, doesn't he?

Being POTUS does take its toll.
Being a puppet POTUS and yanked around by your handlers takes even more of a toll.
Yes. He looks even more like crap than usual.

Vacillating between being a Chicago-style political thug and vacationing during a 3-year period can really take a toll.

Clearly something is off with that photo. I noticed it posted at a couple of sites yesterday and was startled by the tone. Why would his handlers release such an image? Very strange, indeed.

Sunburn (by the Hawaiian sun) camouflaged with heavy make-up.
In a word, ewwww.

Yep, I wondered about the pictures too. Maybe he's dead and being propped up? We can hope!

In recent times, various reports indicate Obama is depressed, emotionally withdrawn and disconnected from day to day efforts in the oval office. http://gawker.com/5839440/is-barack-obama-depressed

He spends more time on the greens or trying to raise some greenbacks for his campaign and less time actually performing his elected duties. Frustrated that the entire world isn't worshipping at his altar, yielding to his agenda, he simply resorts to overriding what he sees as obstacles - the American Constitution be damned. . .and then heads to the nearest 18 holes he can acquire.
Forced to return from his most recent vacay . . .it's apparent the man is severely depressed.

I hope it's a suicidal depressive state.

I even doubt it's him! Are you sure this is not his double? Maybe this one sits in the Oval Office, while the real one plays golf ...

He looks as he should.

He is doing the hardest job in the world.

He is an ideologue who is a politician solely to express his ideology

He is an amateur president

He hates the daily grind

He hates the domestic opposition more than foreign enemies who he regards as friends alienated by his domestic opposition, or the ideology he opposes

Every time he has placed his ideology at the forefront of his actions, there has been a reaction more negative than he ever could have guessed, he doesn't REALLY understand why, though his ideology INFORMS him it must be because of class differences of the rich or race reasons

The ideology has not helped employment, business, or foreign policy (though he regards no Iraq, and a pledge to a vastly diminished Afghanistan as successes ..in the latter case this is sort of like finding out the surgery you need has been put off till the surgeon feels better)

He imagines the drones and OBL make him a national security president and he doesn't understand why that doesn't really work in the world any more than his ideology has failed

He LISTENS to the ass kissers around him who reverse the objective reality around him to frame how he expresses ideology and his record

He is afraid of her 'EXCELLENCY' Michelle

That's what's in the mirror.
That's what we see.

I almost feel bad, except not only is he a danger to the republic, he will place his re-election as his priority policy goal and tell himself his ideology makes this a necessary means.

That's Barack Obama today.

Is that thing on his lapel a battery that has run down, down, down? It sure isn't an American flag pin. He would react to that like a vampire to a cross. Or is it a sign telling him he be's da Prez.

Am sure his handlers are preparing a "for the good of my health and my family" speech in which he will announce is decision not to run for re-election.
This will be done for 2 reasons:
1) Obama's ego will not let him face the very real possibility of a loss.
2) The Dem. Party knows he will drag the entire ticket and have to get rid of O to minimize their Congressional losses.

Epaminondas said...

Stretch, if he did that I would have to think better of him.

My personal assessment is that his ego would never allow such an end.
