So really it is just an opinion...based on distant observation and coloured by public disrespect. That poor man is damned if he does or damned if he doesn't. Carry on America.

Coloured by public disrespect from so many for so many reasons.
I'm holding my breath and keeping my fingers crossed til he's out of office. Then we can realize that he was a bad, totally incompetent,compulsive liar.

IMHO

if you add back in the percentage that understand government is CONGRESS and POTUS,,, all the rest becomes irrelevant,,,

considering congress is rating at 14% approval,, seems this president is pretty consistent in his role alongside that particular , SIGNIFICANT branch of government

I agree. But in the context that Krauthammer is a Psychiatrist puts this debate in a whole different light. Krauthammer should have distaned his opinion in the role of Psychiatrist in this debate. I have no problem with the other professions. I think he has every right to critize Obama. But not in the role as Psychiatrist. Because i think that is unethical.

Harvard, hey he and Odumbo are alumni in one of the world's worse universities, turning out more psychopaths that any of the others by far.

And their medical program, sold out to be pharma many decades ago. The only thing worse is their legal program that dismisses law for the acceptance of legal, a denial of the constitution. And to think one of their graduates comes to teach constitutional law and then becomes the chief executive in practice of same.

And we all wonder why?

This makes absolutely no sense. A quack is a quack no matter his specialty, and this quack even invented new mental diseases and still for some reason had to switch careers. Guess there was more money in lying to an unknowing public.

But to Odumbo, don't need to be a medical specialist to figure he is purely diseased. The only real question is how much is the disease of the mind and how much is the white powder he is rumored to so dearly love.

When a psychiatrist sees a patient that is in need of help. Then if it was in some sort of dire situation. Then he could give his opinion about that person. And the authorities would take him seriously. Because he is a Psychiatrist. If people are a danger to society. And an authorized psychiatrist would observe and notify authorities. Then they can be commited to an asylum. Without the consent of the patient. I know it sounds real drastic like this...
But he should have distanced himselve in this debate of giving an analasys of Obama. But by simply pointing out the things in Obama's character. It puts him in the chair of a psychiatrist.
If he analyses Obama on the basis of a political commentator. Then it is a different story. And i have no problems to that.

he has a personal opinion, stating it as such would be the reasonable thing to do in my opinion too Michelake


if stated as a professional opinion, unless he said specifically symptoms and what they specifically are common too,,,,it would be kind of 'tacky'


but in his and Fox news defense,, in case you aren't familiar with the mainstream culture and media,,,,

'tacky' gets ratings and support

Yes i agree

Actually not. Do you have some perverse link to back that claim?

Diagnosing Mental Illness

Psychiatrists and psychologists use specially designed interview and assessment tools to evaluate a person for a mental illness. The doctor bases his or her diagnosis on the person's report of symptoms -- including any social or functional problems caused by the symptoms -- and his or her observation of the person's attitudes and behavior. The doctor then determines if the person's symptoms and degree of disability point to a diagnosis of a specific disorder.

About standard, emotional and instead of analytical, based on the rights of entitlement.

which part

1. the man has not actually done any official observation on the person he is speaking of


2.this is the opinion of someone who happens to be a psychiatrist,, and he is well entitled to it,,,


or

3.psychiatrists have renounced their official stands on many things that were once considered illness(think sexual 'choices')


, I can reword any of the three statements if they are unclear.

Please give me a break. No matter which way you twist it, he is worse than the one before him and 6 years ago that was thought impossible.

It is only those that have some kind of axe to grind that denies Odumbo is a product of prejudice and innuendo. Based on his actual skills, he is unqualified to be elected dog catcher. But then most politicians are no more than marginally better, if not in the same class and that definitely includes what seems at this point to be the 2016 contenders for quasi-dictator.

ty, I corrected my error a few posts back,,

Not really, Krauthammer is a political commentator with psychiatric training. In his role as a psychiatrist with Odumbo as a patient, he would be violating patient rights to disclose anything. But as a political commentator with a specialty degree, his claim does carry some weight.

But to anyone that has heard Odumbo in his antics and rants should be able to come up with the same conclusions using plain common sense.

LMAO

two (official) wars to none
doubling of unemployment to reducing it 25%
privatized exploitive medicine to healthcare reform
investing manpower and money into finding BIN LADEN to BIN LADEN DEAD


yeah, I see how he is so much worse

not to mention having the added issues of a national medical scare(ebola) to deal with

AND

fringe extremist groups popping up that SADDAM somehow was managing to keep at bay before we started a war,,,,lol

yeah,, I see what you mean about axes to grind,,,,even if its mostly the irony that I see

I do see it

Well you would be mistaken. As a political commentator, unless he is derelict in his duty, he has many changes to observe the psychopath. But then if this was an opinion about George Zimmerman, he would be more than guilty. Funny how prejudicial thinking works. In this case Krauthammer probably even assigned a couple of new mental diseases which he'll put in his next book.

And as a trained mental health specialist, psychiatry, his observation would be more than an opinion considering all his years determining people were in the "fruit loop" category. As a Harvard man, he probably had his prescription pad out and rejoicing in all those rewards big pharma would bestow upon him. Just wonder if he took the supposed "coke" addiction into consideration. One thing for certain, Odumbo already has that "killer" instinct so he doesn't have to worry about being sued for the side effects of the drugs.

Lastly, I find this third excuse purely rhetorical, just what has any shrink renounced unless it is to reclassify the symptom to a much more serious "disease" that requires even more expensive treatment. And no, I never think "sexual" choices. That is just a pure cop-out on reality. Reality is the choice is made based on fear, fear with many faucets, but still fear. But if two consenting adults want to go that way, that is their choice and their right to make that choice, but still it does not mask reality. And so long as they are happy in their choice, then it is no one else's business as no one's rights have been violated.

So no matter what attempt you use to try and justify the position, it will never be clear, just a mask to reality. But as a layman I would prescribe that Odumbo definitely suffers from a "GOD" complex, he thinks he is Allah.

But then comes the "Goddess" and the "Devil", which will it be in 2016?

Was that post removed? I don't remember reading it?

so, it doesn't make sense because it isn't your opinion,,,

got it,,and respect it


my opinions still stand though, and it would be just as 'tacky' if it had been Zimmerman, by the way,, unless it was stated as a personal opinion,,, or the speaker had 'officially' observed (to be read had one on one and repetitive PERSONAL INTERACTION for the purpose of diagnosis) Zimmerman

in which case it would be 'unethical' to disclose the professional opinion,,,,

still there

directly after alleoop pointed it out,,
