“went on to earn a law degree at Harvard”
...and lost his license to practice law shortly thereafter for being a crook.
The writer asks the question but doesn’t answer it. I would refer him to D’Souza’s book “The Roots of Obama’s Rage”.
Do we know if any of this is factual outside of the teaching gig?
Really? Then why does no documentation of any of these events appear to exist, right down to the "grew up" part?
The answer is easy. He’s a narcissist, and NOT just your garden variety narcissist. Barry is a pathological narcissist. Unless EVERYTHING his done his way and he’s held in only the highest esteem, he’ll be spiteful, nasty, and rage-filled. Unless one has dealt with a pathological narcissist, their behavior can be entirely inexplicable.
“a broken home” That’s one way of describing the genesis of this bass-turd.
When you have not had to earn anything, one can become mentally weak. When one is weak, it is easy to transition to bitterness and spite.
The problem is not simply that the President wants to get his own way, most politicians and people want things their own way. The problem is that the President seems largely unable to work with his opponents when the chips are down.
I've long said the mark of a good Poker player is how well he plays a poor hand. Anybody can play a strong hand and look masterful, but when you get crap dealt, what do you do? Obama has a weaker hand these days, and he plays it poorly.
Also FTA:
There is an old saying that goes: Be gracious in defeat and humble in victory. After the Democrat victory in 2008 Barack Obama did not demonstrate the latter and since the GOP victory in 2010 he has not demonstrated the former.
Indeed. This is a President who can't resist taking victory laps every chance he gets (sometimes even after being humiliated in loss. I think it's spin). Obama doesn't understand the meanings of either "gracious" or "humble."
This person we have is a true study in mental pathology. I agree with the previous poster who said this article poses the question but does not answer it. He acts as if he had learned bitter anti-colonialism at somebody's knee.
He has always had everything handed to him
I fully believe he was groomed for this spot for the last 20-30 years.
Now he is in charge and expects everything to still be handed to him because “I won”
But there is ACTUAL work to be done, and he has never been taught how to think- only WHAT to think. He has one solution, and he applies it to every problem- tax and spend.
And expects it all to be handed to him like before
It was decided that he’d get much farther with the liberal guilt crowd who could elect him by memorizing and using the Hollywood script of the “angry Black.”
He wasn't the editor, he was the president. He never edited anything.

FTA: He has a family who loves him
Moochelle does not act or speak as if she loves him, and the girls appear to be sullen. Just my observation.
