— Ace Last month, Gawker claimed the NYT had a big scoop-- that the president was suffering from something that looks very similar to full-blown clinical depression.
The Times being the Times, they never ran that story.
But the New York Post now runs an article with a very similar angle, noting the "rumor" keeps going around.
The reports are not good, disturbing even. I have heard basically the same story four times in the last 10 days, and the people doing the talking are in New York and Washington and are spread across the political spectrum.
The gist is this: President Obama has become a lone wolf, a stranger to his own government. He talks mostly, and sometimes only, to friend and adviser Valerie Jarrett and to David Axelrod, his political strategist.Everybody else, including members of his Cabinet, have little face time with him except for brief meetings that serve as photo ops. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner both have complained, according to people who have talked to them, that they are shut out of important decisions.
President Obama has become a lone wolf, a stranger to his own government.
The presidentÂ’s workdays are said to end early, often at 4 p.m. He usually has dinner in the family residence with his wife and daughters, then retreats to a private office. One person said he takes a stack of briefing books. Others arenÂ’t sure what he does.
This article doesn't exactly float the "depression" rumor. Instead it discusses the president not talking to his aides, but narrates it in such a way as to suggest depression.
51% of the country says Obama does not deserve a second term, versus 41%, the most vindictive people in the world, who do wish to punish our over-his-head flop-sweat failure of a president with another four years of ego-grinding futility.
Oh, by the way: Hi!

Yeah, right. Like this SCOAMF actually does any serious reading. I'm guessing there's an X-box involved in his alone-time.

Hi! I trust that your time away was good and that your hobo skins are drying nicely.
The world inside his head works much better than the one outside.
Dude. Seriously. At least I freely admit that I know that the lovely theoretical constructs I develop collapse entirely when subjected to actual reality.
Here's the thing about the SCOAMF though, you know what the important part to him about the worst President ever thing is? President. It's a variant of the old joke what do they call the person at the bottom of his/her graduating class in medical school? Doctor.

"Mr. Attorney General, you have made numerous statements about Fast and Furious that have eventually been proven to be untrue. Your lack of trustworthiness while speaking about Fast and Furious has called into question your overall credibility as Attorney General. The time for deflecting blame and obstructing our investigation is over. The time has come for you to come clean to the American public about what you knew about Fast and Furious, when you knew it, and who is going to be held accountable for failing to shut down a program that has already had deadly consequences, and will likely cause more casualties for years to come.
Operation Fast and Furious was the Department's most significant gun trafficking case. It related to two of your major initiatives – destroying the Mexican cartels and reducing gun violence on both sides of the border. On your watch, it went spectacularly wrong. Whether you realize yet or not, you own Fast and Furious. It is your responsibility."
Full letter from Issa to Holder, "You Own Fast and Furious"

I mean, if I was a federal employee, and I was working my ass off? I'd wanna make all you bastards feel my pain.

Am I the only one outraged that this charlatan knocks off at 4:00? When does his day start? I seem to recall hearing somewhere that it's around 9:30 or so. If this were a Republican president's schedule the media would eat him alive...and more importantly, stir up the American people to scream for his head. Especially with 9+ % unemployment.
But I guess I'm just being racist by bringing up the fact that maybe he is just a lazy, shiftless fuck.

He no doubt believed all the press clippings that he was the Smartest Man Ever to Walk the Earth and just his election alone would cause the seas to stop rising.
It's not going according to the script written by Axelrod, and he's discovered that the Best and Brightest around him don't have a clue either.
Without the constant praise and coddling, his inner fears that he's an underqualified fraud are creeping in

There are enough checks on his actual destructive powers (as President) that I don't fear too much for the country if he's actually having a breakdown. What I do fear is that his Cabinet is so paralyzed with Race Fear that they won't step in if it becomes necessary to do so.

I had only seen reports like this in what I would call "fringe" Internet sources -- mostly from Ulsterman and his anonymous (and possibly fictitious) "White House Insider." Nevertheless I believed them, because they rang true psychologically to me. This sort of withdrawal into a cocoon is what it would look like if a not-that-smart-but-incredibly-arrogant political novice got elected President on a wave of utopia-commences-tomorrow hopey-changey happy talk, and then had to confront an intractable reality ill-equipped by experience, talent, or temperament. He would sink into a smaller and smaller sphere, afraid of being humiliated, afraid of being in a room with grownups who know the score. If we want to extend the metaphor of the Emperor Who Has No Clothes, this is exactly how an emperor would act if he found himself naked and people started noticing.... he'd hide.
The New York Post is not exactly the Times or CNN or NBC or CBS or ABC, but I'd expect stories like this to start leaking out more and more.

That's just it: he doesn't. Even if he wants to, literally, cause the nation to self-destruct, he also has to have the cooperation of at least one more member of his Cabinet. I'm hoping he doesn't have that.
I fear, however, that he does. Or, rather, that his Cabinet is so afraid of being labelled "Racist" that they'll go along even though they know they shouldn't.

Obama knows that the economy isn't going to improve, and might actually get far worse.
He announces his withdrawal from the race due to "medical reasons" while either Slow Joe fills in with the intent to lose.
They figure the economy is so fucked that the new GOP administration will take office just around the time the whole thing goes under, with Obamacare just around the corner
The 2014 elections put the House and Senate back into Dem hands from the midterm backlash, and a "cured" Obama runs again in 2016 to "save us"
Sounds ridiculous. But then again America put Nanny, Harry, and the SCOAMF in charge in 2006 and 2008

"This president endures with little joy the small talk and back-slapping of retail politics, rarely spends more than a few minutes on a rope line, refuses to coddle even his biggest donors. His relationship with Democrats on Capitol Hill is frosty, to be generous. Personal lobbying on behalf of legislation? He prefers to leave that to Vice President Biden, an old-school political charmer.
ObamaÂ’s circle of close advisers is as small as the cluster of personal friends that predates his presidency. There is no entourage, no Friends of Barack to explain or defend a politician who has confounded many supporters with his cool personality and penchant for compromise."

Seriously, if I ever hear that some grown man is giving my 15 year old daughter alcohol and telling her dirty jokes ... I'm calling the cops. Or getting out my shotgun.
If Obama had been a girl it would've been obvious what was going on. But he was a boy ... a boy spending time with a known pervert who wrote books about bisexual orgies! WTF?
Add to this fact that Obama appears to have no known ex-girlfriends. That's odd. No chick who dated him in high school college, or his 20s wants to brag about how she used to date the President? Really?
I'm not saying Obama is gay. Just that his sexuality is, at best, atypical. But I think his behavior is consistent with someone who was molested as a young teen. Trouble forming sexual/romantic relationships with women, depressive, withdrawn, etc.

Shortly after Nixon resigned, a slew of books and articles came out, most of them related to Watergate and the then-recent Ford pardon and so on. Near the end of his tenure, just prior to his decision to resign, Nixon, too, was awash in depression. He kept to himself, and staffers reportedly heard him in the Oval Office, alone for sometimes hours at a time, muttering and cursing. He was given to outbursts of strong emotion, where he would break down in tears. Nixon's increasingly erratic behavior so alarmed his cabinet and senior advisors that high-level officials such as Henry Kissinger and Alexander Haig supposedly took steps to ensure President Nixon's commander-in-chief preogatives like, say, authorizing a nuclear strike, were (unofficially) severely curtailed. The chain of command was essentially diverted at the top for the safety of the country. Haig implied as much later in interviews. Kissinger has remained largely quiet on the subject.
Whether we agree with or support a given President or not on any or all issues is beside the point. A president in the grip of a mental illness or emotional disorder is a potentially catastrophic situation. Clinical depression, in particular, distorts reasoning, warps perceptions, and exaggerates emotional responses. Now, imagine a sudden crisis--a real one, with the fate of the world at stake. On second thought, don't. Too scary to contemplate.

I missed that...
Of course, that's not nearly as damning as you'd think- I'm sure virtually no one remembers me from the time I spent in college (what of it there was). I'm a classic introvert and not (therefore) very outgoing. It's possible that the President is the same way.
Which would also explain his depression- just talking to people I don't know is very emotionally draining, I can only imagine having to do that all day (well, okay, an hour or two) every day.

The SCOAMF is probably projecting how hard it's going to be to support Michelle after they leave the WH. They'll have to buy a bigger house, that's for sure. Plus, the girls are going to be growing up and they won't be taking "no" for an answer. Tough days ahead for the SCOAMF.

Haig might have been a better President than Nixon and Ford, but he was an ass.
Here's another "antipresident": Edith Wilson. Wilson, so I hear, had a stroke in October 1919. But he kept giving orders through his wife. It's pretty much accepted now that Edith was the one running the Executive. As to how she did, um, well, shit had pretty much went to hell in 1919, race riots everywhere and many hundreds dead. Over the months she was running the place, I understand the country settled down internally but Wikipedia (yeah, I know) reports that the US lost some crucial ground in world diplomacy. This would be the post-Versailles period.

Oh. my. freaking. lord. Don't even get me started on that "prettiest sound on Earth" bullcrap!
There is a douchebag lefty artist based out of Chicago named Tony Fitzpatrick who's famous for doing bad paintings of mass murderers. He's your typical lefty dumbass: entirely secular and contemptuous of anything to the right of Studs Terkel.
Well, not entirely secular, it turns out...
See, I heard this @sshole on the radio recently droning on and on about how he heard some tea party type bagging on Islam and how it made him want to reach out to that community, and after visiting a couple of mosques he now believes that the Islamic call is, you guessed it, the prettiest sound on Earth.
And this was entirely in response to some tea party thing he'd witnessed. It was so condescending that my radio almost self-destructed. It was so obvious that this guy didn't give a damn about Islam. All he wanted to do was stick his thumb in the eyes of conservatives.
Every now and then you run into someone who's the perfect embodiment of the worst liberal cliches, and that's this guy.

Basically, the Gov't of the United States deliberately armed drug lords as they fought the Mexican Gov't for control of large tracts of Mexican soil. In effect, we have supplied arms to rebels trying to overthrow the Mexican Gov't (at least in specific areas).
If I were Mexican I'd be outraged by this, and demand my Gov't take steps to deal with it.
The Mexican Government has been fairly muted in their protests, but their citizenry could force a change. What could they do? Maybe file a complaint with the OAS or UN, maybe something else. If Mexico brings this up in either of those forums the lid is off. It'll have to be reported in this country.

Welcome back, Ace. If you didn't go anywhere it wasn't a holiday.
The presidentÂ’s workdays are said to end early
Honestly, how long can you keep you feet up on the desk before you get bored?

Who wouldn't be depressed? Did you see on MSNBC the White House soup of the day? Nobody likes Vegetable Barley.
Did FNC show the WH soup of the day during the Bush years? Or the President's schedule as MSNBC does during Chuck Todd's show? Or text the hosts of live shows with rebuttal?

And when the door closes, I am sure he and Kal Penn are working on some very important policy issues.
I wonder if he is a Astral Glide or K-Y kinda man?

Since he's a Democrat, I'm sure is years after the Presidency won't be quiet and respectful ones where he lives a life of dignity as a private citizen. No. Much more fun to ankle bite his successors and Monday morning quarterback their attempts to dig us out of the very deep hole he left his country in. Given his track record, I would not expect anything less.

He should try to run a small business. I own a small business and the regulations are killing me. I'm having to cut back on everything -- except prices of course, which I have to raise because the cost of inputs keeps going up.
Fascist bastard gets no sympathy from me!

'The presidentÂ’s workdays are said to end early, often at 4 p.m. He usually has dinner in the family residence with his wife and daughters, then retreats to a private office. '
Retreat to it??? Hell, I'm there all damn day, if I can swing it! It's the Man Cave, y'ow?
"...Often you have to knock for some time before being given approval from inside to enter. The big screen will be on – the volume loud. You can easily hear it from outside the door. The sports channels are the ones most commonly playing, though sometimes the channel will be set to music, or Fox News. Sometimes Valerie Jarrett might be there, but most often it is just the president and his personal aide. A large leather chair will be facing the television – it’s well worn. Not part of the White House furnishings but something the president must have brought in from back home. That’s where you’ll most often find the President of the United States – the most powerful man in the free fucking world. He often sits with one leg draped over one of the chair’s arms and the other leg stuck straight onto the floor. Shorts, sweats, a t-shirt, and like I said, no shoes or just those sandal things that so many of the younger people like to wear these days. And that leg that’s draped over an arm of the chair will be bopping up and down, like…like someone with a lot of nervous energy. Like a kid does. And there’s the smell of smoke hanging on the president. The guy never quit smoking – that was all bullshit...."
