Sorry ... perhaps I wasn't clear.
This is apparently an excerpt from one of Zero's autobiographies. I find it very bizarre that he (the author) would be so obsessed by it that he would include it ... why does he still care? Why does he think we care? Something's wrong, IMO, with an adult who's still fussing over this sort of thing.
That said, IMO there's something wrong with an adult who has accomplished nothing, but thinks his empty life is worth an autobiography.
It's more or less fiction -- invented, and not all of it invented by Obama himself.
Part of it reflects a desire to run for higher office at some point, to write a campaign biography that will be used in a later political race. Part of it involves a desire to create a readable book out of the life of someone who really hadn't accomplished much up to that point, to give a narrative arc to what may not yet be much of a life. If Obama (or his ghost) didn't have incidents or didn't want to write about the incidents they had, they made them up.
That said, IMO there's something wrong with an adult who has accomplished nothing, but thinks his empty life is worth an autobiography.
It was probably about the advance money more than anything else. If publishers were willing to pay him the money, he was going to turn out a book (whether or not he actually wrote it himself).
Sure, there's something narcissistic about that. But people get themselves into life situations where that kind of thing seems natural. Once you go a certain distance down the path you come to feel you're entitled.
Think of Elizabeth Warren. When you get to the point where you've got a job by pretending to be an Indian, you don't look back, you don't reflect about whether that was right. If you're the kind of person who lies to get ahead, you go forward and lie about more things to get ahead.
Or a Nobel Prize. I would have had a smidgen of respect for him, had he said, "I'm turning this down because I've done nothing to deserve it".
That said, IMO there’s something wrong with an adult who has accomplished nothing, but thinks his empty life is worth an autobiography.
