Obama Worships Obama

Obama receives the horrific news about Sandy Hook

The despicable murder of 20 first-graders and their teachers last month shocked us all, and particularly those of us with children. The motive behind any murder is always trivial compared to the enormity of the crime: the appalling suffering of the victim and their loved ones in addition to the stealing of somebody’s future. That’s why murder is such an incomprehensible crime to the vast majority of us.

And how much more so the murder of children….

Inconceivable.

Then it turns out today that there is another sickening dimension to the story.

Apparently, according to Obama the day of the atrocity was “the worst day of my presidency”.

I don’t believe him.

The worst day in the most powerful job in the world would have to result from either some presidential action or inaction. That is, he would have to be personally responsible for something awful. For example, a drone attack that he orders kills dozens of innocents or a drone attack that he vetoes leads to another 9/11. In short, whether he likes it or not the president is responsible for a mountain of suffering (and preventing of suffering) across America and around the world. There’s plenty of cause for angst in being the president.

But Sandy Hook had no more to do with Obama than it did to any of us, so I don’t see how it could have been his “worst day”.

Let’s, though, take his word for it that this terrible tragedy, for which he was entirely not responsible, did cause him extreme distress. Let’s assume that his powers of empathizing are as prodigious as his other talents.

Then, of course, there’s the photo.

The White House has released a photo (above) taken the exact second that Obama heard the news.

So was the president posing for photos just at the exact moment that John Brennan, his Deputy National Security Adviser, arrived to tell him the awful news? If so, surely nobody but an amoral egomaniac would wish to release that photo. Why, people might assume he thought that his own feelings were in anyway comparable to or as significant as the grief of the parents of those murdered children.

There is, of course, an even more disgusting possibility.

That Obama staged the photo.

That he saw the desolating tragedy as an opportunity to boost his positives.

Or if you are not able to think so ill of the president try this on for size.

Obama truly feels responsible for everything that happens in his realm. That not a sparrow falls but Obama sheds a tear.  So obviously it’s vital to record the emoter in chief’s reaction to such a seminal tragedy.

It’s all about him (or should that be Him)?

Does Obama think he’s merely godlike or God Almighty himself?
