Is Obama Depressed?
The Atlanta Post ^ | September 16, 2011 08:01 AM | Yvette Carnell

On election day 2008, America was handed a triumphant symbolic victory, albeit unfulfilled. To most of us, President-elect Obama was a largely ambiguous character onto whom many of us had attached our own psychological yearnings and contemplations.

The truth is, as always, revealed in the fullness of time. Much of the disparate patchwork that weaved together Obama’s life story, the stuff that gave birth to his psychological outlook, was available to us before election ’08. What was not available, however, was any informed analysis of how Obama’s experiences would translate once Obama stopped campaigning and began actually governing.

Gawker is now reporting that the Times is preparing a story arguing that President Obama is depressed. According to a Gawker article published September 12th, “Obama no longer finds joy in the political back-and-forth” and “has seemed increasingly listless to associates.” It goes without saying that an article on the state of Obama’s mental health is purely speculative since, without a report – or prescription- from the Presidential doctor, there’s no way of accurately discerning the President’s mental fitness. But murmurings on whether Obama requires Zoloft or Wellbutrin does add another layer of context to the debate about what it means to be the first black President and the expectations that title carries.

For the first time in his life he has real job that demands real results, not just spouting leftie B.S. to people who already agree with him.

If Obama is depressed, we all know who’s fault it is.

My hands are located on the opposite side of where election day 2008 hit America.

The guy is so unstable and gravely mentally ill...the 25th should be invoked on him. IF he doesn't have his drugs, booze, drug contails...he'd have had a meltdown by now. Those work for only so long. So depression isn't his problem it is much much deeper than that.

I think it’s the people who cover Obama (the media) that are depressed and they’re projecting their feelings onto him.

UH...I think they are setting him up for a walk in Fort Marcy...

I had the same thought. Maybe obama should report them to attack watch. Or, you should report me. Or, maybe I will report you. LOL

Baraq plays more rounds of golf than my son in law who’s a PGA club pro.

HTF can a guy like that be depressed?

"what it means to be the first black President and the expectations that title carries.’

I remember posting here a couple years ago - optimistically- that Obie might not rise to the level we all feared he could because of his responsibility as the first black pres. and how it would reflect upon his race.

I guess he missed my post. Big trouble ahead.

"declaration of mental incompetency"

....and that's the other prediction I made; Obie won't complete the term....health issues, probably. I hope I get this one right.

His narcissism may come through in ways unheard of in the history of the U.S. through a “created” crisis only HE can fix or some other method.

There have been 2 or 3 things I thought I'd never, ever, ever, ever see in this life. 1) a tsunami was one 2) a split popular vote/electoral college election and the circus that followed 3) an occupant of the white house proven to be in office on fraudulent grounds.

I'm worried the 3rd is about to come true.

90+% of all blacks that vote will vote for Obama.

Obama's, and the democrat party's problem is that FAR fewer will show up to vote in 2012 compared to 2008.

Count on that.

Possibly, but what reason to think they aren't available? I mean BJ Clinton was able to get his jollies in the Oral Office, so why not Baraq?

Of course 0dumb0 is depressed! He’s dumber than shit, no grade transcripts from Occidental College, Columbia University, Harvard University. No record of professors or students ever acknowedging that they had seen him in class. Admittedly a poor student during his purported high school years. He’s dumb, he doesn’t understand or grasp issues, he’s lazy, he wanders the halls of the WH and bothers those who are trying to work, he has Attention Deficit Disorder, and I believe he is bi-polar as well. Personally I hope he has a massive psychological & emotional breakdown, preferably on national TV & stage in front of millions of people, just like Nebuchadnezzer in the book of Daniel, when God took his mind from him and caused him to live like a wild animal and eat grass as an ox. That’s what I want to see happen to 0dumb0!

The people who are mentally ill here are the people who voted for the Imposter in the first place. They had to be suffering from some kind of delusions to have done such a thing.
