I don’t think that old proverb means what they think it means.

Exactly what I was thinking — or else, they tried to force the quote into fitting the theme of the article. In which case, I wonder why they bothered using it at all.

I don’t think that old proverb means what they think it means. It doesn't. The word, "mad", in the old proverb refers to insanity, not anger.

I couldn’t read any further after that baseless definition of mad.

"I don’t think that old proverb means what they think it means."
Correct. They bent the aphorism to fit.
"Mad" in the context means irrational, mentally out of control.

The aphorism is a good one but as you suggest, it is both misapplied and poorly-interpreted in this article.
It is Obama who is becoming more "mad" by the day, and at least some of us believe that there is divine inspiration at work in promoting his descent.
