Obama Administration: An Uncontrollable Ego
June 22, 2013
By James Lewis
IRS. FBI. NSA… Under Obama they consistently exceed their previously understood legal powers. Yes, there was technical consent by the secret FISA court for massive NSA spying. In times of national threat the FISA court is a pushover; just imagine if they said “No” and we had another 9/11/01. So they drove a dagger into the U.S. Constitution rather than stand for principle, the way Chief Justice John Roberts helped damage the Constitution by voting for ObamaCare, and the Burger Court shafted the Constitution and ruined millions of young lives with unrestricted abortion.
Perhaps the most damaging Leftist assault ever was reverse discrimination to make up for white racial sins going back to the slave trade that ended in 1865; that racialist revenge narrative still drives reverse discrimination, forty years after the start of “affirmative” action. It will never end, as long as there is a penny to be made on racial blackmail.
The equal protection clause is gone. Every time the left imagines another victim group, that gaping wound in constitutional protections grows larger and larger — first on behalf of American blacks, then for all “people of color,” then women and gays, and now, illegal immigrants. Reverse racial discrimination has empowered an unelected political class growing fat and thuggish on a new spoils system. With ObamaCare, racial spoils may capsize our elected ship of state, leaving only an EU-type corruptocracy.
The Left has pushed against the Constitution beginning with the Wilson administration and World War I. What’s different about Obama is his Leninist grandiosity, combined with amazing oppositional-defiant disorder. In street language that means his f-u attitude. Obama takes pleasure in waving his finger in the air while violating our most precious values. Obama’s narcissism and oppositional-defiance therefore control his official actions.

Some more from this article:
“The week after Obama’s first inauguration, commuters in New York City were shocked when Air Force One buzzed the Statue of Liberty. When the White House was queried nobody took responsibility. But only the President of the United States can override standing orders and FAA safety rules in that symbolic act of giving the middle finger to the whole country, within sight of the ruined Twin Towers. Buzzing Lady Liberty was only one of dozens of acts of symbolic defiance that Obama has indulged in over the years. Psychiatrically these gestures have two features: first, they are unnecessary to achieve any rational goal; and second, they always reveal rage and hatred against “middleclassness,” as Jeremiah Wright calls it, the values that normal Americans hold dear.”
Folks who have been working for a while in the Waterfront neighborhood in Jersey City are still traumatized by this unbelievably callous action by the new administration.
