Barack Obama stands apart from other modern American Presidents in many ways. In addition to the obvious bi-racial background, he is the only President to win the Nobel Peace Prize in his first term, and the only one ever designated Advertising Ages Marketer of the Year. Beyond such specific achievements is his ineffable appeal, the widespread view that he is the coolest President ever. This supernal coolness is not new. In his autobiography, Dreams From My Father, the President wrote that in his teenage years I tried my best to be cool at all times (p. 82). However, leaving aside the contradiction inherent in trying to be cool, it is possible that Barack Obamas teenage experiences may have left him psychologically, and perhaps even neurologically, incapable of performing fundamental tasks of his current position.
Much of the appeal of coolness is its very elusiveness, but one definition is cool means moving through the world at once effortlessly and effectively. It is very zen (another kind of cool), for cool people to get beyond striving [to]
a state where theyre not thinking, theyre not exerting effort, theyre not experiencing any doubts, and yet everything works out perfectly. Yet everything is not working out perfectly for our President. And now even his supporters are confronting the realization that, while the President is meeting the criterion of not making much effort, the effectiveness part is not following.

Full title: Too Cool to Care: Could Obama's Privileged and Pot-filled Adolescence Explain his Presidential Lassitude?
You really think he stopped using? Hell I think he uses to this day and probbly has access to the strongest stuff available. No wonder the 47 % worship him...
He doesn’t really give a 5h!t because he is just a figurehead. His job is to be the unassailable figurehead for an agenda.
Nahhh, everyone knows pot has NO effect on your brain at all! It’s like drinking water, it’s healthy! Just look around at all the dull faced, nodding stoners who want all they can get because it has NO effect at all-or it makes you super sharp and smart! Yeah, that’s the ticket! Tobacco smoke in your lungs, in the air:BAD, weed smoke in your lungs and in the air: natural, good, healthy! You think a stoned out populace who voted for Hussein care-or even NOTICE? He seems normal to them!
“Lassitude” is just a euphemism for incompetent.
He’s incompetent because he doesn’t give a rat’s *ss.
Whether or not his ‘childhood conditioning’ or his ‘adolescence’ or his marijuana use or his homosexuality or his communism had anything to do with it is immaterial at this point.
What’s important at this point is how to get him out of office and undo all the harm he’s done.
Too late now to agonize over this stuff.
The bottom line is: ‘Stupid’ and ‘Lazy’ were character flaws apparent very long ago and were overlooked or accepted when they should have been addressed and COULD have been reversed.
Now we have a person in the WH and an entire element in American (JUST like HIM) who put him there.
That’s the double whammy and I don’t really know if the US can survive this epidemic of STUPID
I have to wonder what sort of menu of Drugs Mommy Obammy was regularly ingesting when pregnant with lil Barry?
developmental issues.....biological and otherwise....
” Barack Obamas teenage experiences may have left him psychologically, and perhaps even neurologically, incapable of performing fundamental tasks of his current position.”
I don’t think the drug use is over,and what little brain he had left is slowly becoming mush just like Nancy Pelosi with all of her botox..
That's the real rub, isn't it? What happened to the great American work ethic?
I’m sure that his physician has written him numerous prescriptions for “Medical Marijuana”. He probably sends the Secret Service out to the pot store to pick it up.
Why do we continue to try to find excuses when we see pure EVIL. It is the same with Islam. It was the same with Hitler. It’s not that complicated. It’s just if we admit we are facing pure EVIL, we will be compelled to take action. That takes courage. We are a nation of wimps.
Can anyone give me the “Red Line” that will have to be crossed before Oath Keepers, our Generals, etc. would take action? Not send tweets, but action.
If we don’t know when enough is enough, who does?
SHE was on the ‘I Hate America’ drug... it was cool and popular then... and still IS!
Got’ta be cool and popular, ya know!!!
“Privileged and Pot-filled Adolescence”
oh, you mean he was a slack-ass crack head?
yea, we know
He’s an enemy islamist.
He is soooo cool,, both his daddies left him . . .
Some are trying!
Google “True News” interview with Generals Vallely and McInerney. Start listening at the 18 min part. Also, the 55-59 min part is real serious as well.
Liberals don’t believe that evil exists, except in the hearts of Bible believing Christians.
Dare I say that Liberalism is Evil?
