Fantasywriter, nice analysis and right on.
Thank you both. I got my experience the hard way: by living up close & personal with an addictive-dysfunctional personality. I see it writ large in Obama. This is a guy who never stayed long with any one job in the past. I believe three or four years was his limit? Now he’s stuck in the same job for five yrs & counting. He’s going nuts. He travels, he vacations, he parties, he drinks, he likely smokes & many suspect he does drugs. There are too many accounts of marathon ESPN sessions to write it off as mere rumor. Then there is likely some kind of personal hanky panky, & it has never, ever looked as if Michelle is the object of those affections. (Part of her anger is certainly race based, but I bet part of it is being married to a guy who doesn’t like having sex with her. He actually acts like a man who doesn’t enjoy her proximity. Hmm.)
I don’t mean to downplay the rude, classless, gauche, childish & reprehensible behavior Obama exhibited on Normandy Beach. I just see him as an addictive-dysfunctional wreck, unable to maintain a shred of personal dignity even for the short time he attended that ceremony. How long will his handlers be able to mask his issues? Not through the entire next two & a half yrs, that’s for sure.
