The guy has always had some pretty serious mental defects... that was obvious to anyone who had been paying attention. He's not fit for any position of power, much less the presidency.
I don’t know about his own condition but he and his administration are sure DEPRESSING ME!
He certainly is depressing and not just to the economy.
sounds like a needed vacation coming up
Anyone who lives a lie every day of his life will, sooner or later, become depressed.
IMO, there isn’t enough Prozac to fix his problems; what do ya think? Is there a psychiatrist on FR to comment?
‘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.’
I guess this means that the mean white Americans are causing the 1/2 black Zero to become depressed?
Is his depression racist, then? Should it be reported to Attack Watch?
“Gawker is now reporting that the Times is preparing a story arguing that President Obama is depressed”
One has to assume that Hussein is setting himself up for a declaration of mental incompetency if anyone ever gets around to putting him on trial for anything.
I find him very depressing as does the economy.
We don’t need a President who has mental problems and his depression is just part of the problem.
I don’t know about obama, but the rest of the country sure is.
He doesn’t suffer from depression himself, but he is a carrier.
Missy took away his french fries.
Many of us are as dumb as a box of rocks.
The Slimes had better be careful.
If he is truly “depressed”, that would mean he is unfit for office (he is anyway, but I’ll humor them). He should resign immediately.
His background puts him at high-risk for depression. I wouldn’t be surprised, with his history of drug use (I’m guessing it was a LOT heavier than he admits in his book) to find that he suffered from clinical depression. I’m also curious as to whether his mother used drugs while he was in the womb.
I think the Slimes is trying to drum up sympathy for him. I don’t recall hearing of any of our non-Boomer presidents suffered from depression.
Typically when that happens, things turn ugly!
As a long-time lurker, Onyx, I remember that your hubby is a psychiatrist.
Can you confirm this theory?
All the information about who this guy is and therefore how he would govern (badly) was out there, the media just suppressed or minimized it.
We knew he had no executive experience whatsoever.
We knew because of his associations with the likes of Ayers, Wright, ACORN, etc., that his views likely mirrored theirs.
He promised to push for government health care even if he lied about how he intended to do it.
He promised to reverse the Bush tax cut and try to raise taxes.
Clearly, Obummer was no DLC moderately liberal guy, like Bill Clinton. It was entirely predictable he would fall back on Keynesian deficit spending to react to a recession.
Oh, yeah, it was all in plain sight.
Barry should ask himself “What would Lyndon Baines Johnson do?”
