[Inappropriate laughter can be a sign of addiction.]

Your whole comment is entirely plausible and insightful.

We know he is addicted to tobacco. I would think at his age and in his socio-demographic group a cigarette habit would be uncommon unless he has additional substance dependencies.

What has bothered me is that on the issues of private health insurance for combat personnel, the plight of middle-class investors, inciting class resentment, the Special Olympics joke, Obama seems to lack empathy. He doesn't even mimic compassion.

The 60-Minutes transcript is full of laughter and chuckles:

Zer0 is appropriate for this era. He is the result of the convoluted left.

There is nothing in his history which is mildly mainstream.

Total wacko. A great example of the left-wing 60’s social
experiment.
