Excellent post, Candor. You’ve educated us. I go back to Obama’s lack of nurturing, training, and dare I say “breeding” during his early years. Lack of basic, nurturing parenting also leads to a “hole” in basic development of empathy, conscience, and an awareness of other people. It explains some people who go through life like ill-bred boors. In both B.O. and Clinton, some major screws are missing because of an also screwed-up family life. I have firsthand experience. My dad was shuffled among relatives after his mother died when he was a toddler. When he met my mom at about age 17, she had to teach him how to eat properly, which fork to use, proper etiquette, etc. I believe B.O. has been socially adrift his whole life and literally lacks something in his psyche that cannot be resurrected. Either that, or he is VERY MUCH aware of his gaffes and enjoys poking this country in the eye!
I agree.My dad cam efrom the same problematic beginnings. In his case he too was educated by my Mom. He was so poor as a kid that he never had toys, and was a bit jealous as a parent of the toys we had. Very strange but he worked hard to overcoe his obstacles.
Obama hasn’t got a hope. He will remain perceptually challenged by being so narcistic.The dangerous part iof course is that his lack of perception is mistaken for wisdom by the ObaJunta Mandarins and his supporters. That, my FRiend, is going to get a lot of Americans killed, and impoverished.
