‘Gloomy Diagnosis’: Obama Plays Voters’ Psychiatrist-in-Chief on Trail

WASHINGTON (AP) — According to President Barack Obama, Americans are angry, frustrated, scared, anxious, uncertain, nervous, discouraged and shaken up.
They’re also confused and not thinking clearly.
Heading into critical midterm elections, Obama has been freely sharing this gloomy diagnosis on the campaign trail, at times sounding more like a psychiatrist than a politician. He usually couples it with a reminder that the country’s been through tough times before and is resilient enough to bounce back, and an appeal to voters to “choose hope over fear.”
Obama’s dreary assessment appears to be an attempt to empathize with voters in a time of acute economic anxiety. It also can serve as an explanation about why voters haven’t embraced his agenda — and why they look poised to deliver a drubbing to Democrats Nov. 2.
Americans would be more supportive of his policies, the president suggests, if they weren’t fettered by anxiety he accuses the GOP of stoking. And the descriptions of angst from a president criticized as overly cerebral and aloof also allow him to attempt to show he feels voters’ pain — even if he can’t cure it.
So the president who campaigned on hope and change now sometimes sounds more like he’s diagnosing depression than offering inspiration.
“People out there are still hurting very badly, and they are still scared,” Obama said recently at a Boston fundraiser. “And so part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now, and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time, is because we’re hard-wired not to always think clearly when we’re scared.”
At a town hall meeting, the president had a similar message.
“There‘s a lot of anger and there’s a lot of frustration and a lot of fear across the country…. And the question is going to be whether once again hope overcomes fear,” he said. “Because what essentially the other side has decided is that they’re going to try to ride fear and anxiety all the way to the ballot box.”
Obama isn’t the first president to play psychiatrist-in-chief and put the country on the couch.
Jimmy Carter famously declared that a “crisis of confidence” was threatening to destroy the nation. Bill Clinton said, “I feel your pain.” Franklin D. Roosevelt used his “Fireside Chat” radio addresses to speak to voters’ anxieties and try to coax support for his policies during the Great Depression.
“He’s trying to identify with (voters) by repeating what their feelings are back to them, which is a very old political technique,” especially in times of trouble, said Martin Medhurst, a professor of rhetoric and communication at Baylor University.
The White House says that by showing voters he understands what they’re feeling, Obama positions himself to lay out his main argument for the election: that it’s a choice between — as he puts it — the policies that caused the current economic mess, and the policies that are starting to fix it.
“It’s an acknowledgment of what we all know to be true: that this is a difficult time for our country,” said senior adviser David Axelrod.
Associated Press-GfK polling confirms the voter anger and frustration Obama talks about, but also suggests that the president’s message of empathy may not always get through. The month Obama took office 81 percent said he understood the problems of ordinary Americans very well or somewhat well; by September of this year that figure had fallen to 54 percent.
Obama sometimes talks about voters’ anger being misplaced, suggesting it should be directed at Republicans instead of him. He accuses the GOP of fomenting voter anger by refusing to help solve problems in Washington, and then of seeking to capitalize on continued hurt over the economy come Election Day.
“They knew that people would be frustrated. They knew people would be angry,” Obama said at a fundraiser in Delaware earlier this month. “And they figured if they just sat on the sidelines and opposed us every step of the way, if they said ‘no’ even to policies that they could agree with, that historically they had supported, then people might forget that they were the ones who had caused the mess and that people’s anger and frustration would lead them to success in the next election.”
Such musings have drawn scorn from some in the GOP, who accuse the president of talking down to voters who simply don’t like his policies. One conservative columnist, Charles Krauthammer of The Washington Post, derisively accused the president of diagnosing the populace with “Obama Underappreciation Syndrome.”
And there’s a problem for the president, given the grim outlook for Democrats: As much as he‘s sought to acknowledge and allay voters’ concerns, the results on Nov. 2 may just prove his gloomiest diagnoses right.

Posted on October 26, 2010 at 3:16pmThe Tea Party Movement is set to sink its teeth into the November 2 election. Often referred to as “right-wing nuts,” the truth is that these people are certainly not to be feared. Over 70% of Americans agree with the bulk of what the Tea Party stands for. Are they conservative – yes. And proud of it. Proud of its history and tradition. Proud of its results, for the most part. Proud of what it represents – what it stands for. But wingnuts – naw! Not really. If you want to see extremists, try running down the roster of the Democrats in Congress. There is where you will find Al Franken and Alan Grayson and Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi and Bob Etheridge, and Barbara Boxer, and Charlie Rangel, and Harry Reid, and Maxine Waters, and Sheila Jackson Lee, and Eric Massa, and Dennis Kucinich – to name just a few. Do you think that 70% of America supports this circus act?
You see, this election is not going to be only about right verses left. It is about much more than that. It is about right verses wrong. It is about up verses down. It is about independence verses dependence. It is about paychecks verses food stamps. It is about Capitalism verses Socialism. It is about big government verses small government. It is about freedom verses control. It is about less taxes verses more taxes. It is about a balanced budget verses no budget at all. It is about reining-in spending verses spending more and more and more and more. It is about success verses failure. It is about competence verses incompetence. It is about hope verses despair. It is about telling the truth verses being politically correct. It is about digging out verses being shoveled further in. It is about jobs verses rising unemployment. It is about the private sector verses the public sector. It is about the Constitution verses the Rules for Radicals. It is about opportunity verses entitlement. It is about winners verses losers. It is about sunlight verses darkness. It is about fiscal responsibility verses spending, deficits, and debt. It is about landmarks verses earmarks. It is about the Restoring America rally verses the OneNation rally. It is about Ronald Reagan verses George Soros. It is about good verses evil. It is about transparency verses secrecy. It’s about honesty and integrity verses smear campaigns and backroom deals. It’s about owning verses being owned. It’s about fighting against radical Islamic Jihad verses conducting “Overseas Contingency Operations.” It’s about an atmosphere of economic certainty verses the “Summer of Recovery.”
It’s about targeted spending verses “shovel-ready projects.” It’s about “passing the bill to find out what’s in it,” verses an online display of the bill so that the American public can enter the debate. It’s about drinking soda verses drinking Kool Aid. It’s about Fox News verses MSNBC. It’s about thin skin verses thick skin. It’s about the right to build a mosque at Ground Zero verses the wisdom of building a mosque at Ground Zero. It’s about “trust and verify” verses bowing to foreign leaders. It’s about personal profits verses political payoffs. It’s about bi-partisan solutions verses “ramming it down our throats.” It’s about “you’re a racist” verses “I disagree with your policies.” It is about keeping what you earn verses spreading the wealth around. It is about a free market state verses a Nanny State. It is about securing the borders verses suing the state that tries to enforce border security laws. It is about the personal right to choose verses being forced to buy insurance if you don’t want to. It is about personal liberty verses being told how to live, right down to what you eat. It is about accepting the consequences of taking risks verses bailing out failed risk takers. It is about responsibility verses rights alone. It is about public referendum verses a single judge’s decision. It is about the law verses an executive order. It is about making a decision verses appointing never-ending commissions, task forces, and czars. It is about privacy verses governmental invasion of privacy. It is about getting fair and balanced, unbiased reporting verses what we have now from the major print and electronic news media.
This is what the November 2, 2010 election is all about. And it is the Tea Party Movement that has brought these issues front and center, and kept them there. They did this in spite of the lamestream media’s attempts to ridicule them, vilify them, cover up and not report good stories about them, report misleading information about them, distort and misrepresent their members and activities, and flat-out lie to the American people about them. I believe we owe a debt of gratitude to the Tea Party Movement for raising our national consciousness, focusing us back again on the things that really matter, and being boned and filleted for, and while, doing it! My personal ‘Thank you’ to the “tea baggers!”

They the all knowing, class of superiority in thought and complex processes of psychology, would certainly have projected this angst that they now speak of . . . Why did it take so long to forewarn?
Is it not a little too convenient at this stage?
We have been observing and warning for a long duration now . . . That was prior to Obama’s election . . . prior to McCain’s limited and orchestrated victory, and subsequent loss. It was back then that we knew of these consequences, of our current state of affairs . . . But Obama is a failure and a farce having to now tell us that we are riding rough seas and will continue to do so . . . At his outset, at the beginning of his crusade, sunshine was always on the horizon; new days were being born; optimism was as cheap as a thirty year adjustable rate mortgage, as if it was 2004 . . .
