He constantly talks about trying to find out who he is and choosing his identity.
I think you are very right.
I am sorry the Office of President of the United States is being used as some sort of therapy. But, whatever’s in it for him, for his sake as well as ours, Obama should strive to be less flip and more circumspect in pursuing his personal demons in public.
There is nothing wrong or damaging or hateful about being a particular race or mix of races. Obama’s personal problems stem from being abandoned as a child. That is a hard thing to endure and overcome.
His tendency toward being flip, bitter and sarcastic is already painful for all of us.

The person who ‘burdened’ him with his color, giving him what he sees as a disadvantage, was never a part of his life. He’s very angry about this. The man impregnates his mother, leaves, and leaves Barack with problems that nobody else in the family he knows has. This would have to be difficult to deal with for anyone.
