Projection

GMA on Trillanes et. al:

“You saw it on television. It’s clear that the actions of these few desperate men reveal just how out of touch they are with the hopes and dreams of the average Filipino,” the President told the Filipino community here after her arrival for a two-day visit.
"The actions of these misguided men undermine each and every one of the genuine aspirations of real Filipinos. Instead of working to bring the nation together by working within our democratic process, their actions merely are fuel for selfish motives, for personal gain,” she said, adding that in the end, “the rule of law prevailed.”
“The transgressors will not hold this nation hostage with impunity. They will be punished to the full extent of the law. Justice shall be served and the interest of the people upheld,” said the President.

In psychology it's called Freudian Projection:
'A defense mechanism in which the individual attributes to other people impulses and traits that he himself has but cannot accept. It is especially likely to occur when the person lacks insight into his own impulses and traits.'

Everything she said above could be easily directed at herself. I loved the statement where she observes how out of touch those people are to the hopes and dreams of the average Filipino. So out of touch (and brazen) is she that she doesn't even mind that the aspiration of every Filipino - regular or not - is to have her a** kicked from office, an office which by the way she stole. Trillanes' only faults are that 1) he didn't learn from history - it flopped before why do it again? 2) he didn't get the needed mass to achieve tipping point 3) he offered himself up for the power, so now he's just like the rest of them politicians.

But hey this pseudo-president is on the right track of her own impending downfall. Soon, we all hope! And so that proverbial Moonpools and Caterpillars song, 'Soon' comes to mind, "And one day soon, it's gonna happen to you and when it does it won't be prettyyyyy..."
