Did We Elect a Beta Male As President?
Americanthinker.com
We're all somewhat familiar with the body language dogs display when they greet each other. The dominant alpha male approaches directly, asserting his authority, while the beta male genuflects, crouches, tucks his tail, and may even end up on his back, exposing his neck in acquiescence, making sure the alpha male knows he has no intention of challenging him. With his "we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist" opening to the world's dictators, the President is exhibiting classic beta male behavior, in essence rolling over on his back and exposing his throat to them to make sure they know he has no intention of challenging their authority.
Of course, the problem is that he's not simply exposing his throat, he's exposing America's collective throat, sending the message that he's a typical beta male intent on submitting to all the alpha male leaders around the world, and damn the consequences. His response to the discovery of Iran's newest, and heretofore "secret," nuclear facility was, as Daniel Henninger (Wall Street Journal, October 1, 2009) points out, to have our State Department offer to start a direct dialogue with the tyrannical Burmese regime.
The Obama administration has also offered conciliatory gestures to the genocidal Sudanese leader Omar Hassan al-Bashir, and it has dispatched none other than John Kerry to meet with Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad. This, of course, is not to mention his somewhat more visible overtures to the world's alpha male thugs: Obama has consorted jovially with Hugo Chavez and his counterpart Daniel Ortega, he's bowed down to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, he's agreed to halt plans to install a missile defense system in eastern Europe to placate Vladimir Putin, and he's offered the aforementioned hand to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, despite the latter's expressed unwillingness to even agree to acknowledge the truly important issue of Iran's nuclear weapons in our talks, all quintessential beta male behaviors.
While we've all been seeking a political rationale for the president's actions, his behavior goes beyond the political to something deeper and more personal: like all beta males, Barack Obama simply does not have the temperament to confront tyrannical alpha males around the globe. In this light, even his inability to work with American allies Gordon Brown and Nikolas Sarkozy is a function of his being incapable of facing down the world's tyrants: to cooperate with our allies would require Obama to display alpha male behaviors, including demonstrating courage, something he's simply not capable of doing. The president's beta-male proclivities are arguably putting the safety of his constituents, the citizens of our country, in serious jeopardy.
Another cue to this unfortunate character trait of the president's can be found in the lack of assertiveness of his oratorical style. While many people insist that Barack Obama is a wonderful speaker, in fact, he exhibits less emotional range when he addresses a crowd than his predecessor, George W. Bush, did. He may have better speechwriters than W, but his delivery is monotonic and his cadences clipped, both signs of a beta male, unsure of himself, putting his words out there more for the purpose of seeking approval than of providing leadership.
The president's characteristic head tilt when he's speaking to an audience or having to deal with a tough question when he's being interviewed (although there are certainly very few instances of his having to do this) is another sign of submissive behavior. It crops up less than a minute in during an interview with Fox News's Bill O'Reilly (YouTube - Barack Obama Interview With Bill O'Reilly Sept 4, 2008 - FNC ) in answer to O'Reilly's question, "Do you believe we're in a war on terror?" After an initial "Absolutely," the Candidate begins to hedge, his head tilts as he explains the difficulty in sorting out the good guys from the bad guys in the Middle East. Like beta males everywhere, Obama is not about to commit to words that he might have to back up with assertive action.
Being a beta male is all about developing strategies for deflecting aggression, and for this reason, beta males do have an important place in society. Within the confines of a social unit, beta-male behavior can help to defuse aggression and maintain domestic peace. But in a world where other nations' alpha-male leaders are constantly probing for even the smallest signs of weakness, having a beta male president has thrown into stark relief the dangers to which this president's unfortunate character trait is exposing his country.
To return to the canine metaphor: It's the height of folly to think that other nations won't be doing everything they can to make President Obama their bitch.

Wow!
C., I couldn't have said it better myself. In addition to this, Prez. Obama's "handlers" have made sure that persons like the Interior Sect. know that they'll be thrown to the wolves ("the Mainstream Press") if they actually try to do something, ANYTHING to actually alleviate ANY situation. Just look at what they're trying to do to "General Stan from Afghanistan" today. The Press is painting him as a "rogue General," who's "Gone off the Reservation."
That's why Sen. Feinstein had to "come out" and make sure that Californians get the "impression" that she works for our best interests. I'm not yet convinced that is true. I do see the glimmer of a hope that Sen. Feinstein actually is more able than Pres. Obama.
Mr. Lewis does make his point, but misses the President's full pathology:
He is, at last count, passive-aggressive, paranoid, a malignant narcissist, a pathological liar, and apparently, a "dyed in the wool" Masochist. He's rabidly "co-dependent" upon other malignant personalities, and thrives upon finger pointing, concealment and evasion of responsibility.
To put it succinctly, unless he soon has a "come to Jesus" moment that flips his pathology, Mr. Obama is pretty much going to end up a "basket case."
So, my dearie, tell all you love that they must "gird their loins", gather their courage and prepare for a fight that will make landing a whale look like a Chinese Buffet. Very soon, things are going to get really ugly, and "go critical."
The great question is, since our fellow Americans have decided to put the "yes" people in charge, when Mr. Obama crumbles, and "Uncle Joe" Biden runs gibbering into the Senate, flailing his arms in the air in fright, and Rohm Emmanuel does his own version of Al Haig's "I'm in charge!"
Meanwhile, Nancy P. will be salivating like Niagara Falls at the thought of her "legacy," and we may all face the reality of a Constitutional Crisis.
We'll handle this. Those of us who live in reality always do. But, what sort of freedoms will we decide these sick individuals and their "Change & Hope" may be allowed to have in the ragged aftermath of whatever this brings? Why don't I just grab a pillow, start screaming, and roll up into a catatonic ball?
Because, dear friend, I LOVE MY COUNTRY. I love the town I live in, I love NObama County, I love my family, and the very rocks this great Nation is made of. I know that, if I run, the small lives I try to shelter and lead every day will go horribly, terribly wrong. They might find someone else to care for them as I do, but they also might not.
And here, in my humble opinion, is the root of the problem. I have only to look at my own life to see how many "friends" have been such simply to selfishly use me, then throw me away. I see how the Parties are just waiting to suck me dry, then throw me under the bus. I pray that the Tea Party Patriots will gather around me, forgive me my life of mistakes and human foibles, and protect my liberty, my freedoms, and my very life, as I do theirs.
That is why they are my fellows.
So, when asked "why did we elect a Beta-Male?" I will reply "'I DIDN'T elect him." I will then point out those who boosted Mr. Obama at me, and let them explain their motives. I expect they will range from "It was HISTORIC!" to "It was only FAIR!"
The biggest problem with that will be finding them. For, since they used me up and threw me away, or blamed me for not being what they wanted me to be, they've gone away.
It's a "Liberal thing," I guess.
