I don’t see the news here. Myself and a few other regulars here on PJM were commenting on his being well on the way to a padded room back around Thanksgiving 2009 when he first had to delay a vote on his health crap. Of course he’s deranged, and if many of those who support him would tell the truth, they think he’s deranged but see it as just the flip side of his “brilliance”.

I can understand why people might think he wants the US hit with some sort of WMD attack, but I doubt it’s because he wants to do in millions as much as it is to give him another opportunity to play savior. Barry may well hate most of the population of this country, but Barry has also long been convinced those he hates will be forced to admit he’s their rightful Anointed King and he won’t enjoy slaughtering peasants until we’ve first fallen at his feet. The Narcissist in Chief would only be happy slaughtering Americans if he were slaughtering Americans who had already fully submitted to him then ceased to worship him. That’s why he likes campaigns; he can taunt his opposition to help stave off the self-doubt monster. Killing the opposition is self-defeating for someone like him, as is waiting for the judgment of history to proclaim his greatness.

He isn’t getting the praise his madness expected in response to giving us all health care, so in his mind the national trauma of a WMD attack would provide him with another opportunity to be our savior. Risk / Reward considerations are not the same for Barry as they are for normal people. The fact that millions might be at risk is instantly counterbalanced by his personal opportunity to show his superior greatness since in all those millions there is no Barry. That’s the narcissistic mind in action; it never ascribes events to mistakes made by the narcissist but always to the situation not being grandiose enough to allow the narcissist to shine. If there isn’t a WMD attack before the threat of self-doubt creeps up on the Narcissist in Chief again, he’ll nuke someone in order to prove that he’s the toughest president we’ve ever had. If he can’t get the outright worship he craves for being the smartest president we’ve ever had and if there’s no opportunity for him to show he’s the most nurturing after a trauma, he’s going to try something external and attack one of those countries who he feels haven’t praised them the way he expected them to. The one thing he’ll never do is decide he’s shouldn’t be trying to become God by popular acclamation.

Look at the bright side, though, there’s a good chance his own inner circle will put him in the padded room before much longer as a means to shame the voters into not throwing out democrats after driving our “greatest president” insane with our trivial focus on things like the Constitution. Now, if he can get his hands on some of his old “self-medication” goodies, all bets are off because he’ll start swinging in and out of bottomless depressions.
