Barack Obama, the adolescent president

Recently, Barack Obama — a Demosthenes determined to elevate our politics from coarseness to elegance; a Pericles sent to ameliorate our rhetorical impoverishment — spoke at the University of Michigan. He came to that very friendly venue — in 2012, he received 67 percent of the vote in Ann Arbor’s county — after visiting a local sandwich shop, where a muse must have whispered in the presidential ear. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) had recently released his budget, so Obama expressed his disapproval by calling it, for the benefit of his academic audience, a “meanwich” and a “stinkburger.”

And his analysis of Obama’s childishness is also accurate, because the left in general is very adolescent.

Yes, it seems as if all of them have the intellectual depth and emotional maturity of the average 7th grade girl. If they had not stalled in their development, they would not be stuck in the mode of voting based on feelings.

Yep, it might take generations, but we owe it to those future generations. This is bigger than all of us.

Interestingly, before the APA was hijacked by homosexuals, the DSM used to describe homosexuals as “profoundly narcissistic, in a state of perpetual adolescence,” or words to that effect. Sure sounds like the Occupier-in-Chief.
