Is Barack Obama Depressed?
Gawker ^ | September 12, 2011 | Unattributed

Posted on 09/13/2011 3:55:03 PM PDT by Seizethecarp

We're told by a source inside the Times that the paper is preparing a story arguing that Obama no longer finds joy in the political back-and-forth, has seemed increasingly listless to associates, and is generally exhibiting the litany of signs that late-night cable commercials will tell you add up to depression. Or maybe Low T.

Either way, the investigation was described to us as taking seriously the notion that Obama may be suffering from a depressive episode.

“First step in dropping out of 2012 election.”

This is appearing more and more to be a very real possibility. Deeply sagging polls, economic malaise, foreign events out of control, legislative setbacks, etc. Narcissists don’t deal well with failure. They cut and run.

He doesn’t HAVE to remain President.... he can always resign for mental health reasons.

OK then - why doesn't he resign already?

Hey, Kenyan, retire and go goat-herding with your Masai bruthas in Kenya, and take the first Wookie with you - give yourself (yet another) break!

It’s not depression. Remember, Zero is a major league narcissist.

What he is going through is frustration and anger resulting from the reality of the world colliding with his own self-conception. As a result, we will see him lash out more and more in coming months.

After playing this latest stimulus card, he only has two cards left: First, the class warfare card which he will play in conjunction with the debt supercommittee process, amid shouts of eat the rich. And lastly, the race card which he will play at critical junctures in the reelection campaign to try to get him over the hump.

Just what the world needs, a depressed man with his finger on The Button.

I don’t care if he is depressed or jumping for joy. As long as he is president, he will screw up the country.

No he is not depressed, he is a carrier of depression. I am sure he must be laughing his ass off about how much he has already done to destroy this country. Give him four more years and it will be mission accomplished.

I prescribe lots of sleeping pills, razor blades, and a loaded revolver.

Suicide is an option Obama.

It would be honorable of you.

I will improve your legacy.

It will save jobs.
