He is an inconsiderate egoist whose number one priority is him. The video portrays him as he really is a not funny comedian kicking sand in the face of the American people.

Thank GOD for term limits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please republicans, never get a sense of humor. It might brighten up your day. It's much more fun to sit at your computer all day spewing hate and watching Fox News. You probably won't even miss Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert.

You make a HUGE...VERY HUGE mistake in assuming those who deplore the antics of our President as all Republicans. A VERY BIG error in judgement.

[Guest]

I am sure Putin got as big a kick out of this nonsense as we do seeing Putin riding half naked on a horse. What is up with these guys???

The highlighted attribute above is already taken!

Then why are his poll numbers constantly in the high 40's in the Gallup daily tracking poll?

Dear Guest: In the event you haven't notice Obama is fiddling (selfie's) while Rome burns. its not hate we spew but a call for rational thinking from Obama's acolytes pleading for common sense and a return to the rule of law
I would miss Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert as much as Bill Maher or Bill O'Reily come to think of it they all fit right into the Obama ego profile

Oh you mean like when Katrina flooded New Orleans, or when the World Trade Center got attacked, or when the US went to war in the wrong country (Iraq), or when the financial meltdown in this country occurred causing 750,000 people a month to lose their jobs? Oh wait, that wasn't Obama, was it?

Would you be willing to make a thread for each of those, give your views on WHO you think caused all that, and allow others to comment ????

Or is this the shotgun kind of discussion that we have gotten used to ?

The president in charge at the time gets all the credit or blame. Can you imagine the discussion if Obama had allowed just one of those things to happen?

It's actually comical to see how upset liberals get over Fox News ... irrational and vitriolic, but entertaining nonetheless. Keep it up and, by the way, Fox's ratings continue to climb while MSNBC submerge even lower (with some help from the "Reverend" Al ... what a joke)

[Guest]

Then why are his poll numbers constantly in the high 40's in the Gallup daily tracking poll?

That's easy ... about 10% African American, 30% Liberals and 5-10% credulous "moderates" who, in some cases, would never admit to having any negative thoughts about Dearest Leader because it's not PC to do so

[Guest]

That means then those that are not happy with this POTUS is in the low 60% range.
That has to be a number of significance for those who espouse winning 51% of the vote is a "landslide".

First of all, I started this thread and the topic is Obama's selfie stick and his unbelievable narcissism -- so don't take a tangent please. It's incredible and the point is ... you can easily see why most of the active duty military have no respect for this joker, especially when he pulls a selfie stunt like this when ISIS is cleaning his clock in the Middle East, along with Iran, etc

Second ... Clinton planted the seeds for WTC by ignoring Bin Laden and refusing a chance to have his head on a platter (I can tell you for a fact) and the meltdown was tied to subprime mortgages ... check the record on Barney Frank and the boys using the fascist strong-arm to require banks to make bum loans. But, as I say, that's a separate thread.

Do not expect this poster or others like him to read or even want to delve into facts to support the spin they throw out...the little micro phrases that they feel is "dialogue".

These, in my opinion, are the same folks who brought down the last political forum. There, on that forum, the next step was to report everybody as you might do in elementary school. Thus causing all the grief for the moderators.

I recall the beginnings of the political forum. When you disagreed with someone, they would go to work..investigate...research and come back strong at you with facts to dispute what you were saying and present solid cases for how they felt.

This group is different, and I see no move to change. To those who continually say....."you will not change anyones mind on here"....I say that you are correct, you MIGHT not, but IF those you are discussing issues with would at least make an effort to understand what they are saying in little phrases, BOTH PARTIES MAY LEARN SOMETHING which is how we used to get to the middle in this country.

Now that's a personal attack but so what, I'll just thank you for your comments and ignore it. I certainly won't go crying to the Moderator like a previous poster did. :)

Regarding facts ... I can provide whatever you need on the topics cited. Be my guest and make a specific point ... that is indeed what dialogue is about.

I will not because we have a thread and it would be rude to disrupt it. Thank you for allowing it to continue and try to stay on topic.

YOU throw out all the "stuff" unrelated to any thread and want someone else to do the work. If you have a political issue you wish to discuss that is not historical, I am sure you if you started a thread, presented your case, people would be glad to participate but nobody will do the work for you.

Now now ... that's not true and I'm usually just responding to what people said vs non-related. Btw, as a conservative, I would never expect anyone else to do my work for me. You definitely have that backwards.

Your interest in politics appears to be to simply allow someone else to make a thread and then you attack, using whatever fits....even if not current news. That is pretty easy. You look at this as a playground for you

Photos of Obama indulging his narcissism with his selfie stick, and photos of the King of Jordan in his fighter pilot suit ... can there be any greater contrast between an non-serious and serious leader?

I will allow that this President does not seem to care what people think,but then again, he sort of has been saying that since the last election, most vividly in the State of the Union. Never heard a President talk like this. Sometimes he is actually manifesting and supporting political divides instead of being a leader and trying to find a way to the middle.

If his behavior is to be lauded, I cannot join in...perhaps I am not sophisticated enough to understand his actions and words.

Today's numbers are 47% approve, 49% disapprove, not quite the 60% range you predicted. Since the president won the election with 50.6% of the popular vote, he is not that far off that number now. Congress would like to have those kind of numbers.

How much can one say about a selfie stick? The president was just having fun, where is the harm. Also he was identifying with the younger generation.

It's tough to relive those painful election results, but for those questioning the landslide, here are the results. President Obama 332, Mitt Romney 206. Needed to win 270.

I NEVER EVER want to live in this posters world. It might be wonderful for that poster, but I found it diluted and not based on reality.

Where is the harm ? He is the President of the United States, not a rock star and frankly the first President who didnt want that younger generation to identify the office holder of the President as someone they admire, and not especially on of the guys.

[Guest]

Regarding the selfie stick, I think it is rather undignified for the President of the United States to do that. Out of respect for the office, I just think it looks downright foolish. And considering the state of foreign affairs at the moment, I think it comes across as arrogant. A little humility sometimes can go a long way - not seeing anything like that in this President.

Looks like treason. IMPEACH!

[Guest]

I guess I'm not old enough to be offended by the President taking selfies. He has teenage girls. He may be the POTUS but it is just as important to be a father. To me, the selfies are part of parenting today. Ask your children if they have taken selfies and, if so, why. I think many will say yes and just for fun and something their children can relate to. Even a President needs down time, even if just for a few minutes of silliness. He can't always go out and play golf.

[Guest]

The new phones have a built in cameras for selfies. And they are getting better. We now need a good photobomb picture.

It’s not about being “offended” by his narcissm but rather disgusted and embarrassed by it. He seem to be increasingly over the top with this kind of adolescent behavior and/or dopey comments (eg crusades)… I’m beginning to think he may actually have a loose screw or two.

There is also a difference between taking selfies with your kids in private, vs plastering them all over the Internet don’t you think?

You're photo of Obama on display says it all. As I said before, compare this photo with that of the King of Jordan in a flight suit. Nuff said.

[Guest]

if anybody thinks Obama made the selfie/doofie video to show he is a modern father or participating in down time is being overly kind, naieve or not up to date on this guys motivation.

Somebody that continually uses I, me in his speeches has NOBODY but himself in mind when doing anything.

The selfie/doofie video is a pi$$ poor attempt to appeal to a specific voter base......the totally uninformed, out of touch, who cares block.

I think you're correct in at least part of his motivation is appealing to the doofus vote. He excels at that, and that voter base is steadily growing especially with de facto open borders. In that sense, if one hates the country they were born in (as Obama does) then the doofus appeal is actually a very smart strategy by which to slowly destroy it.

Dear Guest: The 47% favorable rating correspond well with the 45% Romney spoke of during his 2012 campaign and supports the notion that providing entitlements is a quid pro quo arrangement more free stuff more votes even the dead can't resist that offer.

As to the main focus of this thread doesn't the word "selfie" speak volumes.

When I was a kid I fell in the playground and cut my arm open. It probably needed stitches but mother superior applied a butterfly bandage and told me to return to class. I did and there was mother superior starring at my arm. Why? because I had my sleeve rolled up to show the girls in the room what a real warrior looked like. Mother Superior remarks quickly put to rest that attempt. In my view one of the greatest lessons of life is that humility is a wonderful virtue. Selfie's are its antithesis

The community organizer with his selfie stick to me is pretty much on par with Putin riding his horse half naked. Two men that are just plain nuts!
