44 – We Never Knew You
I, for one, care. I hope my readers will comment one way or another after reading this article. True leaders don’t refer to themselves. They talk about the vision. The goal. The team. They praise the accomplishments of others.
The 44th president made a habit of focusing large chunks of his narcissistic speeches on himself during his eight years in office. Every speech. Check it out. Narcissism is not a trait of leadership. It is a trait of a self-love, egotism, conceit, selfishness, self-centeredness and self-admiration. These traits are the direct opposite of leadership.
President Obama is not a leader. Period. He had 8 years to demonstrate leadership. He failed at every juncture as evidenced by his continued overuse of the egocentric word “I.” The Farewell Address continues with more familiar rhetoric:
So I first came to Chicago when I was in my early twenties, and I was still trying to figure out who I was; still searching for a purpose in my life. It was the neighborhood not far from here where I began working with church groups in the shadows of closed steel mills. It was on these streets where I witnessed the power of faith, and the quiet dignity of working people in the face of struggle and loss.
Guess what Mister President? We’re still trying to figure out who you are. What we know so far is this. Nothing. Nil. Nada. Zero. No one has stepped forward to claim they knew you in college or in law school. You rarely cast a vote as a state or US Senator. But, and there is always a but, you were “present.” No one knew you before you became president and now all we know is you are a self-centered boob who cannot speak intelligently unless you stand behind a teleprompter.
Has anyone counted the number of times you used the words “uh” or “er” when you had to speak without a teleprompter? Probably equals or exceeds your use of the word “I.” What does that tell us about you? What does that tell us about a person who has said nothing more meaningful than “I’ or “er” for the past 8 years? A person who has now knowledge. No facts. No conviction.
We know Obama has prosecuted more whistleblowers than all other presidents combined. We know Obama has centralized federal power more than any other president. We know the Obama Administration has produced more than 100,000 pages of regulations in the past 8 years.
Fortunately for you, the AOS (Obama Adoration Society) is in total denial and will defend you until their dying days. Unfortunately for us deplorable non-believers, they remain delusional as their only defense is their defensiveness, and their deflection that others are worse. Really?
Is this book in season?
Well, yea. Look at the cover. It has George Washington crossing the Delaware River on Christmas night. Picture perfect.
The Gift with the Perfect Message
Something Extra Special for that Extra Special Person
Did you know many of us support inventors, authors, artists and other entrepreneurs through crowdfunding? It’s a wonderful way to help independent creators bring their projects to life.
Did you know that many authors use the names of their family and friends as characters in their books? It is a way to honor and memorialize loved ones.
Do you know that I am writing a new book and need family and friends to help tell the story of the Constitution and other important topics? Did you know that I want to honor you with a part in the narrative?
Do you know that the names of my backers and supporters are on my webpage? Do you know that those backers and supporters will also be acknowledged forever in print in my new book?
Do you know that I would be honored to have your name listed as one of my backers and supporters? Do you know that I want you to be on my team? Did you know how important it is that I hear from you?
Do you know there will be a void in my book and in my heart if you don’t appear in my new 20/20 Vision book? It’s safe and easy to go to my website and pledge $250, $100, or $50 and you’ll get lots of priceless rewards including lots of signed books as gifts to your family and friends who will read your name in the new book. Time is running out. I need your name now!
Finally, an author who brings you solutions, instead of problems.
Americans have lost faith in their overreaching federal government. “We the People” don’t need to be overregulated or have their taxes misspent. Americans are victims of a crumbling economy, high prices and stagnant wages. They view government as bloated and politicians as corrupt.
They do not trust the leadership at any level. They see politicians of both parties as self-centered narcissists whose only objective is re-election. The author is like you, with one principal difference and 20 reasons for optimism. His “Vision” of America is “clear.” It is a vision of the Constitution and America the way it could be, the way it should be. The author’s eyesight is twenty-twenty.

Thank you so much for writing a comment on my post .I truly appreciate each and every one.
The point I attempted to make was the “Farewell Speech” was similar and indicative to his previous speeches which centered on “me, myself and I” to a point where the man could not be gracious enough to leave the White House without it still being all about his narcissistic self. Never about the country or “We the People.”
Perhaps if you left your name on the reply, I could discuss this with your further. I find that I learn so many interesting points of view when I have dialogue with my readers. It is the foundation of my books and my articles whereby people have dialogue.
