Obama's Temper Flares at a Rally - image clutchonline
For weeks rumors have been persistent regarding the President’s use of anti-anxiety medication, apparently, white house staffers and certain members of Congress have grave concerns over the presidents temperament and his use of prescription medication. This has been word of mouth throughout the month of October, where it was suggested that a member of the administration had given an interview to a Ukraine press, where they disclosed the Presidents depression and subsequent drug use. To date, there are no references on the web to verify that occurred. However, there are now articles on the web that have been attributed to both White House Staff as well as Members of Congress, that the Presidents Temperament, prescription medication use, and fears of his inability to govern, will allow for a invocation of the 25th Amendment.
The first blog with the oldest reference dates Opinion Maker.org notes that the President’s trip to Asia was at the suggestion of the staff, in order to get him out of town after the mid-term election losses. Google, Bing, So much so that blogs, from both the right and left side of the political thought process are running articles. The article chronicles “bizarre behavior” the president displayed at a fundraiser at Brown University in Rhode Island as late as October. Apparently, top donors are a little more than rattled, as well as those in the White House, who are now suggesting that Michelle Obama’s aids are making decisions:
White House leaks about the ineffectiveness of Obama's presidency are expanding beyond the revelations attributed to a former high-level Obama administration insider and which have been reported by a blogger named "Ulsterman." Some White House staffers have described a "reign of terror" in the White House over continued leaks and a troika of leadership that is making decisions without any input from the president. The troika reportedly consists of First Lady Michelle Obama, presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett, and the president's mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, who resides in the White House.
Not to be deterred, some White House staffers have sought out journalists and have arranged to meet them at nearby Starbuck's cafes to discretely convey to them inside information about the current disarray within the Obama administration. Some staffers have personally born the brunt of Obama's temper and witnessed his extreme narcissistic behavior. WMR has also learned from White House sources that Obama is taking presciption anxiety medication.
In addition, the blog suggests that teams of ex-CIA have been sent to scour the world for documents and “evidence” in order to solidify a removal of the President under Article 25 of the U.S. Constitution. Apparently, this procedure is nothing new with the office of the President: Nixon, Clinton and Reagan, all were subject (for a variety of mental health issues) to this type of scrutiny.
This is hardly a “right-wing blogger” conspiracy, as the left has weighed in with much the same information, Posted on COTO Report: “Fit Hits Shan at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue”, an article in much the same vein as that posted on Opinion Maker. (however, the language, is a great deal more colorful and partisan left):
Biden has been tasked to consider invoking the 25th Amendment against Barry Soetoro, our beloved Narcissist-in-Chief, Barak Hussein Obama. President Obama is allegedly using prescription anti-anxiety medication for weeks now and is also using his wife, mother-in-law and Valerie Jarrett to deflect his former key staff members from direct contact. For those unfamiliar with the viciousness of executive staff when a leader shows weakness, this means that the titular head of state is without portfolio (i.e. we’re screwed) and our nation could become a WalMart subsidiary at any moment.
The article closes with: “Come on, America, decide who you are, already! Then we can let soul-brothah Barry know so that he can tell his mother-in-law to go kick some Republican ass up and down the National Mall.”
Other references about and have begun to take shape, specifically mentioned that the Black Caucus would go along with invocation of the 25th, amendment, leaving Biden in charge of the country. As the Democrats no longer control the Congress, the Speaker of the House would be next in line should something happen to Biden, as the Constitution was not written for succession and political parties, the line of succession to the Presidency is by title.
The text of the Constitution is clear:
Amendment 25 - Presidential Disability and Succession.
1. In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.
2. Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.
3. Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.
4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
According to the historical data here the amendment was shored up and passed in 1967 after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
With growing unease over the President’s behavior by members of his own party (and or persons who are professed to be members of the party), this lends some credence to the articles, and as such, if the press has any inkling (as in White House staffers begging reporters to investigate and offering them evidence of such (source: opinionmaker.org included above added for emphasis)then the Press is being criminally negligent.
Although one might also play Devil’s advocate and suggest that disgruntled White House Staffers are airing grievances, where no smoking gun exists. Additionally, certain members of the party, both moderate and left, preferring anyone, including Joe Biden, at the helm, in order to stave off further disaster in 2012, therefore, planting a seed of doubt would be to the benefit of the Party – regardless of the accuracy. Also of note, prescription medication, and anti-anxiety medication, depending on the type, is used by millions of American’s with no obvious side effects, and one that has the most difficult job of all, would be forgiven if that were the case. The office of the Presidency ages and is not-forgiving. However, should the mood swings, the fact that Obama is not making decisions, be proven to be fact, and then it is far better to have a President removed for medical reasons, than have the nation led by someone who is incapable of performing the duties of the office.
