Bill O’Reilly told author Sally Jacobs tonight that Barack Obama’s father was a sociopath. Jacobs wrote the book The Other Barack: The Bold and Reckless Life of President Obama’s Father about Obama’s Kenyan father.
Bill O’Reilly: “You wouldn’t use the word deplorable. I wouldn’t use the word tragic. I think the guy was just a… sociopath. How you leave a little kid. I don’t know how a man does that. So I would say he was.”

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Stuffy commented:
I just wanted to be first. In the sense that Obama’s father abandoned his children, Obama has bettered that standard by far.
Redwine commented:
Like father (or one of them). Like son.
Sociopath. Narcissist. Or both.
Conservative to the Core commented:
Barack Obama’s father is as fascinating as Bill Clinton’s penis.

QUITE AND ASSUPTION:
That Frank Marshall Davis is NOT Obama’s real father.
Who really knows?
All of it – from birth through college – could very well be nothing more than a fantasy.
Yes folks. . . . THIS is OUR President.
You gotta be proud!!!!

Now if Ted Baxter would admit the same was true about the son…

Of couse, Sally Jacobs, being the left winger she is, would not say that Obama’s father was a total loser. She said that was not for her to judge. Bet she wouldn’t have any problem judging someone she thought was a conservative who didn’t live up to her far left standards.
So a man, who gets a girl pregnant and sends her off to London for an abortion, who was a drunk who spawned children across two continents that he didn’t have anything to do with, who was part of a murderous tribe, who was a professed Maxrist, and Sally Jacobs doesn’t feel she, as the liberal she is, has the authority to sit in judgement of him? I bet she would not have the same qualms railing me me for owning a gun.
Hypocracy, thy name is liberal.
befuddled commented:
The more that is revealed about his heritage, the more I learn about what a despicable family he was born into. How could he not be “colored” by these subversives? Perhaps I am the crazy one. Perhaps I am misjudging and misunderstanding the intellectual fad of the time. Communism was a novel radical idea that just happened to be sweeping the nation and his parents and grandparents were fervently swept up by this movement.Instead of being defenders of the downtrodden,they were merely stumbling upon plain old “white guilt”. Barack Sr. was just another chapter in this tragedy. He was no prince charming.
I see it as a tragedy, Libs probably see it as a fairy tale come true.

#6 – Gimme a Break tries to shoot the messenger, it seems.
Surely you don’t mean Gordy Howard, the weatherman!
But then again, you’re not talking about the “Mary Tyler Moore Show”; and that’s not the Ted Baxter you’re referring to, is it?
Here we go again, folks: The Liberal contribution to The Gateway Pundit (i.e.,a Keith Olbermann wannabe).
It’s not difficult to recognize the paw print or the intent.

I hate to admit it but it would have saved trllions of dollars if she had aborted this slimeball.

What kind of man enters into an illegal marriage when he is all ready married to another woman?
Better ask the Constitution professor, Herr Obama.
Molon Labe commented:
Funny, I didn’t know Obama’s father was born in San Francisco.
gus commented:
This isn’t news? Obama’s Dad was a drunken loser. Bill Ayers didn’t mention much of that in his book.
katy commented:
So Obama is furthering and implementing the Dreams of his Father. Does that make Obama a sociopath Bill? hummm?
Chisum commented:
Apparently BO couldn’t wait for his father’s visit to end the one and only time Sr. even acknowledged BO’s existence.
A trip to Honolulu was awkward for everyone, including 10-year-old Barack, who “count[ed] the days until my father would leave.”
gus commented:
Obama’s entire life has been one of dysfunctional friends and relationships. I’m not kidding, Michelle Obama is “somewhat” normal by comparison.
sandy commented:
I hear Obama’s mom wanted to give him to the Salvation Army. I think that would have been a good decision for every American.

Aren’t they all?
‘We did not suddenly go to sleep and then wake up the next day with a political class that acted this way. Or with CEO’s that act this way. The erosion of long term thinking is progressive. It begins slowly before becoming pervasive.
Lack of long term thinking manifests itself as a lack of responsibility. The difference is not in intelligence. Very intelligent people show no grasp of responsibility and no understanding of consequences. ‘Stupid’ behavior by intelligent people is often a symptom of that. Sociopaths, who often have very high IQ’s, yet a poor understanding of consequences, are at the farthest limit of that category.
What explains this behavior? Socialization and empathy. Sociopaths are often quite bright, but it is the company of other people that makes us fully human. Sociopaths are too detached from other people to be able to rationally calculate long term consequences in a social context. They understand rules in an abstract fashion, but they don’t internalize them. Because rules are socially internalized and given priority as higher truths over personal feelings only by an ego that has learned it is not master of the universe. A sociopath may be a physics professor, but if an impulse pushes him into a situation where the laws of physics are in his way, then they will be less valid to him than that impulse. The same goes for mathematics. The sociopath is irresponsibility taken to the extreme, but there is a long gradation on the way there.
What does a country run by sociopaths look like? It looks a lot like our own actually. Lots of short term fixes. Lots of ‘keep this thing running’ pragmatism. Short attention spans. No sense of responsibility. And no thought for the future.
This is the problem with filling a cabinet full of bright people who don’t understand responsibility or long term thinking. While their intelligence should allow them to solve most problems, the situations they are confronted with are social, not abstract. And they lack empathy for the people involved, any sense of them as individuals, and any real understanding that they will also have to live with the long term consequences of those decisions.
To the Sociopath, most situations come down to, “How Do I Make Person X Do What I Want.” This sounds a lot like the Cass Sunstein theory of ‘Nudges’. The government acting as manipulator getting people to do what they’re being told, while making them think it’s their own idea is exactly what a sociopath would think of as a brilliant solution. It is a perfect illustration of a mind that is intellectually aware that people are individuals, but does not understand or empathize with it as a gut level.’…
