His<br />"Obamacare" is his own monumnet to this relationship and to himself. It certainly appears imperiled. And trying to be faithful to Momma's world view and ending up a one term president would also be a hammer blow to one's narcissism.

Not surprising really - how can the reality of running a country that is on skid row, when you know you're not qualified to do it, and you know everyone else knows it too, compare with the dizzying rush of campaigning for, and winning, the presidency? Must be the ultimate comedown, and passing the halfway point of your term, and realising that rather than ending in recognition of your triumph, history in fact cares about you not at all and is rolling relentlessly on, must be particularly miserable. <br /><br />If I were Obama I'd be tempted to say "you know what, screw this", not stand for a second term and go off and do something fun instead.Londonernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-34586896087579350232011-09-15T09:31:43.126-07:002011-09-15T09:31:43.126-07:00"spends half his time on vacation"

There is some hint of suggestion that his mother, Stanley(lee) Ann Dunham Obama, may have had atypical mood swings, also. And Ann's paternal grandmother committed suicide at age 26. For some people , one lasting effect of heavy use of marijuana is recurrent and exaggerted depression. There is clear indication that he smoked the heavy weed with both hands during most of his high school years and into some of his college years.
