One thing I find fascinating is.. for the VERY first time in his pampered life.. 0bama will have to defend his record. He’s never, ever been held to account for anything up until now.

the dust-up with the Dallas TV reporter was just a small sample of what is to come. Barry is overdue for a major crack-up once he gets out there and starts campaigning in earnest.

Only bad things can continue if BS is reelected

Especially if he gets re-elected on a thin plurality with Trump playing the spoiler and, as most expect, he is dealing with GOP majorities in both House and Senate. He will be in the weakest position of any US President since Gerald Ford, who had to deal with BIG Democrat majorities, anger over the Nixon pardon, and the fact that he had never really been elected. The rest of the world will see that as ripe for the pickin'.

[Scanian]

I’d say he’s overdue for a mid-life psychotic break.

We’ll never see it. It will be better concealed than his BC.

[Scanian]

Sit back and watch him crack under the pressure.

Michelle Obama basically said the same thing BEFORE the 2008 election but no one listened. I took it from her as a kind of warning to America even if she didn't intend it that way or it was a Freudian slip.

She said the courtship was great, but his extremely bad breath in the morning, his compulsion to throw his soiled underwear all over the place and his petulent behavior made her come to the conclusion that she was trying to manage 3 children instead of just 2.

"People out there only see the public version of Barack, I get to see the real one when there aren't any cameras around"

I forgot to add, the really late sleeping/refusal to get out of bed drives her nutz as well. Say what you will about Michelle Obama but she is the hard charger in the family. She doesn't take any crap from anyone - especially him. She has a dwindling respect - to put it mildly.

He is pure reactionary and a kind of a big pu$$y. He'll say anything to throw out a little red meat to the core groups that are abandoning him. She on the other hand will either say nothing or tell you the truth-as she sees it.

His Macaca moment is coming.

It may already have arrived.

That’s very interesting. Do you have a link for this—I’d love to read more.

Obama.2008 was engaging, patient, open, optimistic and a self-identified conciliator.

No. Obama.2008 was a stone freaking LIAR.

Initially narcissists often appear charming, charismatic, intelligent, self-assured and cool. They give a good performance, especially when the audience responds favorably. When things don’t go the narcissist’s way it very quickly gets ugly. Narcissists are prone to wicked sarcasm, and bouts of rage, an other unpleasant behaviors. Barry is so boringly typical when it comes to narcissists, he’s positively yawn-inducing.

[FourPeas]

Yup, all that’s entirely consistent with my impression. Barry loves the glory, but the work to get it not so much.

“Narcissists are prone to wicked sarcasm, and bouts of rage, an other unpleasant behaviors.”

I heard a doctor describe early-onset Alzheimer’s patients that way yesterday.
