Pushing his we can't wait agenda President Obama and deciding to go it alone sign an executive order for the 120 time in his presidency today.
Joining us through the psychology behind the president's thinking.
Doctor -- -- -- psychiatrist Fox News contributor joining us from Boston are great to have you with us.
Doctor -- that this president is.
Getting a reputation as both bank and -- a very small circle of advisors.
Now looking upon congress.
As obstructionist.
Not a sort of apparently -- coequal branch of government what is going on here.
Well what's going on here is what happens in any story.
In our lives are in history which is this the truth always wins.
You can't defeat.
Your psychology and -- you look at yourself and decide to take a different path in this ecology of this president.
Is of someone who grew up in a family abandoned again and again could trust no one relies ultimately only on himself or others who feel they have been.
Deeply wronged.
And the extension of that the projection of that and the government.
Results in his estranged meant from on their family figures -- the Supreme Court know -- bat.
Congress know it's terrible.
It's essentially a negative feedback loop where the president is isolated by the projection of his own life story on everyone around him.
Any seems to and I'm waiting in this -- in a public policy way CMR insisted on coming up with slogans Monroe's.
That rationalize.
The position -- the policy that he is.
Taking we can't wait for example almost popular now.
-- we can't wait -- see we can't wait is code to again those its harks back to Martin Luther King's book why we can't wait.
It resurrect.
All be.
Legitimate gill will and feelings that came from that time when we were less fear he wants to transplants to drag us back into that time so that.
We want to.
Will express this deep deep conflict that he feels remembering comes from a family.
Ripped apart by conflict -- father leaving his mother leaving his grandmother saying I'm scared of people of your rates.
Iraq.
Barry Iraq whatever was at that time so he projects this on us and what does he come up with a slogan -- can't help himself.
He takes us back to Martin Luther king and suggests we're at the same point we've gone no farther.
Well yes we have.
And and governor Romney.
Now there's talk of all these -- vice presidential candidates are your thoughts about the way he is conducting himself here in your reaction to.
His statements his demeanor.
You -- We'll listen you know he's absolutely got to come out of himself.
This is that moment there where he has to emerge on the national stage.
As someone.
Who can claim very vigorously his own ideas set aside any -- That suggests I am the son of George Romney.
Being present as an individual.
And choose someone who is your equal in the vice presidency who clearly people would say well.
That's like -- tag team like we've never seen.
Because if there's any hint well.
He maybe he needed to serve bolster his own self confidence by picking -- less then candidate.
He can't afford to do that.
And Marco Rubio taking the lead on illegal immigration apparently.
Standing with the that we the president looking for all the world's are young it looks like one of his five sons.
Again this is almost a reflection of the Obama administration -- -- delegates are presides rather than leads.
-- and that may be an unfair analysis on my part what are what are your thoughts.
Here here -- my thoughts it it is it's it's time you know the truth again you said -- people want to believe.
Believe in this.
This is -- president.
Who has it in four.
Is not ready to embrace our government.
Our trajectory is a -- as as a country.
The path.
Of freedom and liberty as has been dictated in the past by our notion that we're special people.
With special gifts and that we can change the world in a unique way.
This he does not by.
And so what governor Romney needs to do is to say that quite directly and to essentially make this a referendum on whether we embrace American government.
Do we love our country or do we wanna radically transform it into something it is not if you.
Well then you know the votes we'll show it.
