Rather than fight the same tired battles that have dominated Washington for decades, it’s time to try something new. Let’s invest in our people without leaving them a mountain of debt. Let’s meet our responsibility to the citizens who sent us here. Let’s try common sense.

Translation from Newspeak to English:

Rather than fight the same tired battles that have dominated Washington for decades, it’s time to try different tired battles from FDR's reign. Let’s ramp up spending while pretending that won't leave a mountain of debt, resulting in tax increases, inflation, or both. Let’s meet our responsibility to deliver favors to the unions and special interests who sent us here. Let’s try chutzpah and brazen lies, and call it common sense, and try to ram through as much socialism as possible before we get our asses handed to us in November.

Fair responses, but I interpret this: "Rather than fight the same tired battles that have dominated Washington for decades, it’s time to try something new." a little differently.

What he wants - as was clear even during the campaign (and more so in his STFU Address) - is for anyone who disagrees with him in the slightest to just stfu and go away. The one thing he can't stomach is any opposition. He is Mussolini in diapers. The same dictatorial aspirations, but too PC'd even to admit he wants a totalitarian, fascist state with himself at the head.

How can a president who is notorious for leaving us a mountain of debt declare with a straight face that he wants to (quote) "invest in our people without leaving them a mountain of debt"? Is he so used to saying whatever he thinks people want to hear that he doesn't see the transparent irony in that statement? If so, then he really does lack any connection to reality.

Because, like most serious Progressives, the difference between him and a true sociopath requires an instrument that can measure atomic bond distances. So, in that respect, your statement about lacking a connection to reality is accurate.

Are you suggesting he may become the first president who ends up being consigned to an asylum?

I think Obama is bright enough to realize that what he is saying is bullshit -- though a sort of Newspeakian denial may be kicking in where he believes his BS for as long as he needs to, then switches to something else and temporarily believes that too, for as long as it is expedient to believe it. Hard to tell which process is at work. But, he keeps getting away with saying bullshit and getting rewarded for it, so irony be damned, he'll keep it up until something (like getting kicked out of office, or Yahweh help us all, assassination) stops him.

"Let’s invest in our people without leaving them a mountain of debt."
 
Whose money is he going to be investing, and in what people?
 
And how can a government - a non-productive entity - "invest" without debt? 
 
(I know, I know - forcible expropriation and/or the magical money printing press.  'Twas a rhetorical question.)

I feel sorry for BarryBama. 

There is considerable evidence that his entire life he has wanted to be considered black like his father. 

But now he has accomplished his goal he is beginning to realize that there are more important personal and public issues to be dealt with.  

Like a lack of wisdom.
