Psychologists Call This Projection: Obama's Projection

"And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them . . ." -- Sen. Barack Obama, quoted in the Puffington Host, April 11, 2008

In his nearly two years in office, President Obama has relied on a very small clique of advisers that serves as his most trusted sounding board on politics and policy. Members of his staff describe Obama as wary of outsiders and reluctant to widen his inner circle. As one of his advisers bluntly put it, "the president doesn't like new people." -- Washington Post, Sept. 23, 2010

The veneer is coming off and we are learning that Obama is no more than a petty, egotistical politician. His acrimonious statements are a sad reflection of the pathetic individual therein. The more we get to know him, the more we find out we should not have elected him in the first place.
