Shirley Sherrod's hair-trigger firing is merely the latest in a long line of dysfunctional responses by the president that may indicate that he's out of control. How many incidents does it take to make a pattern? How many times does the president have to show his propensity for paranoia, projection, and blaming others before his team arranges for an intervention?
In 12-step recovery programs, Obama would be called an ACoA, an adult child of an alcoholic. His father, Barack Obama, Sr., was the typical, garden-variety chronic alcoholic. But according to a 2008 article in the Boston Globe, as Barack Sr.'s disease progressed, he became a very dangerous man.
He began to drink more heavily and had a series of alcohol-related accidents, one of which resulted in the death of another driver. Shortly before his death, a colleague from the Harvard Institute for International Development working at the ministry in Nairobi saw Obama Sr. "staggering'" through the hallways.
------------------------- A typical response for an ACoA is to blame others. Obama calls everybody else out, but he's the one who "scrambled." His inability to admit his character defects except when the din becomes so loud that he needs to shut people up is classic.

Actually it is very sad but to me it explains a lot and knowing others who had parents who were alcoholics, I can say that the kids have similar ways of behaving, so to me this is true and sad...I had no clue...

Oh, for God's sake! Obama's father left the family when Obama was about one year old, to go to Harvard to get a PhD. Obama's parents divorced in March of 1964, when Obama was 2 1/2. His father returned to Kenya the next year. Obama saw his father one more time.

I'll add this load of a thread to my manure pile out back. You may want to google a little more before you post something so easily debunked.

Truly the op was expecting this. If not here goes, this should have never been used to start a thread. What a waste.

I hear Obama was even conceived by two people having unprotected sex!!! How disgusting and dirty is that!? Clearly, he is the result of two sex addicts giving in to their sick desires and hence, his decisions are guided by his "other brain."
Oh well, at least there would be more brain involved than in the post above...
