In a linguistic survey measuring traits of personality, the psycho-analysts have found more feminine qualities than male in President Obama. He is being called as the First Woman president of America by news hounds.
I HAVE made up my mind. Whenever, if ever, I get an opportunity to shake hands with President Obama, I shall present him a bunch of lipsticks. I shall ascertain the choice of shades in advance with the help of Mr Michelle, if you like.
Kathleen Parker may or may not be a trained psych-analyst but she has analysed the personality of President O (Obama) threadbare. She deserves a bouquet but no brickbats.Ms O dilly-dallies
Indeed it is a feminine trait. Not making a decision is not a he-man trait. Our O prefers not to make a decision, not even on the war in Kabul and kandahar.it is her prerogative,I guess.It is day 56 of oil slick off the coast of Lousiana. O has chosen to do something that would portray him as an aggressive leader. But as the language analysts bring out there was more passivity in the language than aggressiveness. Only men know how to be aggressive. No gender bias, just a statement of facts.In the Roman Jurisprudence, it is drilled into the law students that "Ignorance of Facts may be an excuse but Ignorance of Law is No Excuse". Are you listening Ms O.The law of the land is on the side of O provided O chooses to use it. One needs an aggressiveness , a male privilege, to bring the BP on its knees and ensure compensation for the suffering Americans.O showed less courage than the then Prime Minister of India, Rajiv Gandhi, in tackling the Bhopal gas leak culprits like Anderson, an American citizen.AFGHAN WAR AND OO has to be as aggressive as a male American to win the war in Afghanistan. Notwithstanding the tough warning issued by General Petraues, the new commanding general in Kabul, warning all concerned that tough days are ahead, the general had beginner's luck in his new command. The NATO forces succeeded in thwarting a deadly attack on a US base in Jalalabad and made the taliban bite the dust. The Afghan National Army soldiers and officers also acquitted themselves well.Congratulations to the uniformed soldiers and officers but O has no share in success. He is and was out of it absolutely.There is noneed for a pat on the back for O for firing General McChrystal just because he exercised his right of freedom of speech. If he called someone a clown, so what. A clown is a clown. heavens won't fall if a soldier calls a spade a spade.A PEEP INTO HISTORYIt would be a good idea to see how mature and masculine Presidents handled their firebrand generals in the past.The Civil War was raging. it was a matter of touch and go for the Confedracy who favoured slavery and the Unionists who favoured liberation of the Blacks. General Grant commanding the Union army was fond of heavy drinking but did not let that interfere with his profession of arms where he was Numero Uno. A backbiter complained to President Abraham Lincoln "Mr President, General Grant is a drunkard"and he thought that the President would reprimand the general. Abraham Lincoln showed his maturity by saying "But general Grant wins wars"and just ignored the complaint.Had Lincoln fired his general like O has done recently, he would have lost the Civil War and O would have been serving coffee to the white masters as Bill Clinton said once.O,Please wear PantsThe time is ripe to be aggressive in Afghanistan. To undo the major mistake of announcing a probable date of withdrawal from Kabul, O must assert that the NATO would fight on until the Taliban and their mentors Al Qaida are defeated and eliminated.As a sign of masculine aggressiveness, O must keep the wily Pakistan generals at bay and not let them have a slice of Afghanistan as they have been hoping for.Should this change for the better in personality traits of O occur, the nation will again repose faith in the present leadership and not call them names.
