FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



ANNOUNCEMENT OF GLOBAL TELEPHONE NEWS CONFERENCE



ATTENTION NATIONAL AND HAWAI’I DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS



New Hampshire author Andy Martin probes the state of Barack and Michelle Obama’s marriage and finds disturbing evidence of a troubled and possibly sham marriage.



Andy says President Obama’s marital dislocation may be affecting his job performance



(HONOLULU, HI) (May 11, 2013) From Andy:



Aloha from Hawai’i where I am continuing my research into the life of President Barack Obama. I am working to pull together my columns for a new book, “The Search for Obama.” Whether you like or dislike President Obama, his existence is a fact of history that must be respected. While my partisan opposition to President Obama is well-known, I have also continued independent scholarly research on Mr. Obama since 2004. I attempt to scrupulously separate my political opinions from my scholarly opinions. Whether you agree or disagree with my views, my independent research into Obama-the-man has forced the mainstream media to focus on Barack Obama’s personal life; I am a “watchdog” who is not afraid confront media propaganda about Obama.



With today’s news conference we enter a new zone of psychological profiling: how is Obama’s personal life affecting the performance of his public duties? Once again, Contrarian Commentary leads the way with independent research and provocative analysis about the Obama marriage.



1. Why “marriage” is important



Recently both supporters of homosexual marriage and supporters of traditional marriage have been battling away in the U. S. Supreme Court. The only issue both sides agree on is the importance of marriage as an institution. (As of yet I have taken no side in this controversy.)



In a nation where the personal relationships of public figures range from the puritanical to the libertine, marriage is a balance wheel for all points of view.



Several lifetimes ago when I was on track to become an air force pilot our ROTC instructors told us there was no room for marital dissonance at the breakfast table before we headed for the cockpit. If the state of one’s marriage is important to a pilot’s job performance, how much more important is the state of the president’s marriage to his actions in office?



2. My “psychological profile” of Obama in 2007



Does this guy sound familiar?



Ultimately, his personality matrix left him weak inside, weak under the surface, “all sail and no anchor.” He learned to avoid conflict, not fight. His mother raised someone who would run away, not stand his ground…

He will strive to be a strong leader on the surface, using powerful language and images; but inside he will still be the pied piper of powerlessness…

Obama's natural tendency, his default state of mind, is to evade, conceal, avoid--and escape.

His approach to dealing with his adversaries will ultimately come to be seen as weak.

[Please see Group Link #1 below for the Psychological Profile of then-candidate Barack Obama]



My 2007 Psychological Profile of Barack Obama’s future leadership style has proven to be uncannily accurate. (Looking back as a “profiler,” I’d have to say I got Obama’s “psychology” better than his “politics.” My own party’s incompetence helped propel Obama into office and keep him there. Ironically, my February 10, 2007 Psychological Profile was the first instance of a writer referring to Barack Obama as a “man behind a mask,” a term which morphed into my 2008 book.



3. The Oval Office



If marital discord can influence a pilot’s performance the state of the president’s marriage is obviously a critical factor in his performance in the Oval Office. President Bill Clinton’s loveless and probably sexless marriage led to his compulsive philandering, right next to the Oval office, and to his disgrace and impeachment.



4. Media reluctance to probe political marriages



Serious journalists remain reluctant to probe the state of presidential marriages. Nevertheless, the world has changed greatly since the 1960’s. Senator John F. Kennedy would never have been a serious presidential candidate today because of his compulsive fornication. LBJ might not have made it on to the national ticket and become president.



Sometimes politicians survive “sex scandals,” sometimes they are brought down by marital infidelity.



In the case of the Obamas’ marriage the media continue to portray the Barack-Michelle relationship as a storybook connection. One of the reasons I am in Hawai’i is to probe how the Obamas relate to each other when they are on vacation in Hawai’i, a place where they have an opportunity to spend more time together and yet apparently do not.



Nevertheless, rumors about the state of the Obama marriage are quite persistent, see Group Link # 2.



5. The “gay rumors” about President Obama



Rumors persist that President Obama is gay. We’ll analyze those rumors tomorrow, in Sunday’s news conference, and discuss how they impact the marriage.



5. The Obama marriage: you be the judge



A.



Michelle Obama: the spendthrift-spouse-in-chief



No one elected Michelle Obama to be the spendthrift-spouse-in-chief. But that’s the role she has arrogated to herself. Michelle Obama treats the U. S. Treasury as her own personal piggy bank. She jetted off to Europe with an entourage of hundreds, all at taxpayers’ expense. Michelle’s “Marie Antoinette” lifestyle is grossly inconsistent with seeking to maximize the image of her husband. Michelle Obama’s casual contempt for the fact that her husband is borrowing money from China to fund her shopping sprees and vacationing – often gussied up as “official visits” so the president personally does not have to pay - reflects contempt for the financial problems facing the American people.



Michelle Obama acts as though she is flaunting her freedom to engage in conspicuous consumption, and as though the president is helpless to do anything about her excesses because she has some sort of “hold” over him. The state of the Obama’s marriage has generated considerable gossip, and a protective reaction by African-American partisans, see Link #3.



B.



The “separate vacations” issue



Whether you like Obama or hate him, whether you consider him a savior or socialist or both, there is no doubt the office of president imposes substantial duties on the occupant, which is why the repetitive “separate vacations” of Obama and his daughters is so strange, and suspicious.



Indeed, I believe that it is through the window of their daughters that we can really see how hollow the marriage of Barack and Michelle Obama really is.



In an interview with Vogue, Michelle Obama stated they “prefer to spend free time with their daughters.” (Please see Link #4) What?



Surely the president’s vacation time is limited. If he prefers to spend his quality time with his wife and daughters, why is he spending it with Tiger Woods? When the Obama family comes to Honolulu, Barack and Michele again live separate lives. Obama makes cameo appearances with his daughters for shave ice and late lunches, but then spends more of his time with his Chicago cronies than he does with his family.



There is a massive gap between the image of Obama-the-devoted-father and the Obama who vacations alone when he could be spending time with his wife and daughters. By constantly vacationing alone the Obamas are flaunting their separation and detachment from each other. If through their separate lives they intend to send a message, that message has been received.



6. My predictions



A.



The future prospect for the Obamas’ marriage



I think there is a strong possibility Michelle Obama will seek the vacant U. S. Senate seat from Illinois in 2016. Senator Mark Kirk’s career is over, despite his protestations to the contrary. Because Kirk is all-but-a-Democrat, President Obama could create a graceful exit for Kirk and provide a vacant seat for Michelle.



If Michelle wants a political career she will opt to continue a Clinton-style fake marriage. If she is through with politics and merely wants to cash in her chips, she will seriously consider a divorce. The current state of the Obama marriage is unsustainable unless both parties continue to live a lie. After 2016 Michelle will no longer be able to impose her lifestyle and spending sprees on the U. S. taxpayer.



B.



Is Obama’s martial situation affecting his job performance?



In my opinion, the family turmoil with Michelle only adds to Barack Obama’s instability and exacerbates the psychological challenges which I predicted way back in 2007. As someone who accidentally became Barack Obama’s first biographer in 2004, I continue to study his actions and to expand and extend my psychological profile of the president.

ANDY MARTIN: The Obamas have become the “most vulgar” family in White House history

Conservative columnist Andy Martin says that it is obscene the way Michelle Obama used federal tax dollars to pay for her “private” vacation in Spain. American taxpayers had to borrow $1 million to subsidize Michelle Obama’s junket. Martin says it is time to cut the nouveau riche Obamas down to size and to stop wasting borrowed federal funds during a time of record deficits.

“Factually Correct, Not Politically Correct”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Andy Martin says his 2009 prediction that the Obamas would become the most vulgar family to ever occupy the White House is coming true

Martin says U. S. taxpayers had to borrow a million dollars to pay for Michelle Obama’s “private” vacation in Spain

Martin says it is time for Congress to legislate limits on presidential spending for personal expenses

(NEW YORK)(August 9, 2010) Michelle Obama’s trip to Spain has finally boosted her family into the winner’s circle as the “Most Vulgar” family to ever live in the White House.

When the Obamas moved in last year they began by gorging themselves on imported Japanese beef (known as “Kobe” or “Waygu” beef) at $75 dollars a pound. The Obamas are what as known as nouveau riche; they are people who are new to money and have no sense of propriety or manners. I suppose you could say nouveau riche is a polite substitute for “trailer trash.”

Did Mrs. Obama take a “private” vacation to Spain last week, as Robert Gibbs claims? On a public airplane, with 80 “security” people and a million dollar price tag all paid for by American taxpayers? Are you kidding?

Michelle Obama, who showed her real contempt for the American people during the presidential campaign, has now proven she has utter contempt for the people that elected her husband.

Many critical comments about Mrs. Obama’s trip to Spain have noted that we have 9.5% unemployment, and Mrs. Obama should not be spending government cash at a time of economic distress. I agree.

Using a bogus “lunch” with the Spanish King as an “official” fig leaf to write off a million dollar government junket is similar to what the recently fired Hewlett-Packard chief executive did. He got fired for cooking the books and riding his expense account. In time the Obamas will be removed for the same arrogance and abuses.

Every day the U. S. Government is “losing” four (4) billion dollars. That is, every day we have to borrow four billion more dollars to meet the expenses of the federal government. All of this borrowing adds to our long-term debt. These borrowings are being shared by every American.

We are all struggling to subsidize the Obamas' obscene life style at taxpayer expense. Once you realize that Michelle Obama’s million-dollar “private” vacation was paid for with money the United States borrowed, largely from China, you get a sense of why decent Americans are disgusted with the Obamas and their contemptuous attitude towards America’s financial crisis.

The controversial White House party-crashing Salafis are more presidential that the Obamas.

During the 1973 oil crisis, President Nixon tried to show his concern for wasteful government spending by traveling on commercial airliners. It took a little doing, but it worked.

When the newly-elected British Prime Minister came to Washington last month, he traveled on a commercial airliner. He knew what appearances meant at a time when he is asking the British people for austerity measures.

Barry Obama flew to Chicago last week for 24 hours, and used a 747 airliner to make the one-hour fight. It cost tens of thousands of dollars. Is it beneath Obama to use a commercial airliner when he flies home for a “birthday party?” Where was the public function?

During the Nixon years, liberals coined the phrase the “imperial presidency” to demean Nixon. They resurrected that term under George W. Bush. But the true “imperials” have been the Clintons and the Obamas. They treat the U. S. Treasury as their own personal piggy bank.

Hillary and Bill Clinton were and are also famous for abusing government facilities. Now the Obamas are following in the Clintons’ footsteps.

A decade after he left the White House, Bill Clinton is still milking the American taxpayer for excessive “security” and “personal” costs.

All of this money to support the lavish lifestyles of the Obamas and Clintons is being funded with borrowed money. In fairness to the Clintons, when they were looting the Treasury in the 90’s we did not have a financial crisis. But the Obamas are spending borrowed money like there is no tomorrow. Maybe they realize that for them, there is no tomorrow.

When the Clintons left the White House they were largely disliked and despised for their personal abuses. But the Clintons have been rescued by the vulgarities of the Obamas, who think that it’s “private” for them to spend money borrowed by the U. S. taxpayers to fund their lavish lifestyles.

When we elect a president we owe that person safety, and security and comfort. I don't think any American disagrees with that basic principle. We also owe the family the same level of security, but not at the same level of unrestrained spending. Mrs. Obama had eighty security staff accompany her. Of course the official line is that the “Secret Service” makes those personnel decisions. But the Secret Service makes decisions based on exaggerated notions of safety for private citizens such as “Private Citizen Michelle.” Does it really take eighty security people for Michelle, who calls herself a “private citizen,” to travel? When the U. S. is bankrupt and going four billion more dollars a day into debt every day?

This is not a partisan issue. I don’t think Republicans have been as arrogant or crass as Democrats about abusing tax dollars for lavish presidential activity, but both parties are at fault. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has spent a fortune on what is her own taxpayer-funded private air force. Where does it end?

Here is my suggestion: Congress should legislate clear limits on both presidents and presidential families. We should have strict limits on travel by family members at government expense. The U. S. should not absorb overseas travel expenses for family members unless the president is also on the trip. Jaunts such as Michelle Obama’s Spanish vacation should be prohibited from receiving taxpayer subsidies.

Even presidents should be encouraged to use commercial airline service for short trips. When the Obamas come to New York for a Broadway show, they don't need a government jet. Why don’t they ride Amtrak, and find out how the rest of us live?

Barack Obama is a failed president. His economic policies have failed. His foreign policy is a shambles, and it is on the verge of exploding in Iraq. Americans are being slaughtered by Taliban savages. Voters are in an angry mood.

And in the midst of our financial crisis and ongoing recession Michelle called up Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and said, “Tim, borrow another million from China so you can pay for my ‘private’ vacation to Spain. Ha. Ha. Ha. Sucker!”

I think even the always-despised Empress Marie Antoinette would have had more sense than that. Asking American taxpayers to borrow money so Michelle can go on a “private” vacation, with public financing?

Now we know why Michelle Obama is no longer a lawyer and surrendered her law license. She’s too dumb to have the common sense to know that in politics, appearances are everything, and she has appeared for what she is: arrogant, corrupt, contemptuous and the same old America-hater she was during the campaign. Those Democrats that still lover her? You can have her.

The Obamas are vulgar, and as they realize they are being evicted from the White House in 2012 they will become even more vulgar and contemptuous of the American people. I told you so, two years ago.
