2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: This message was self-deleted by its author [View all]Cal33
(7,018 posts)4. Have you read "Obama On The Couch" by Justin Frank, M.D., professor of psychiatry,
George Washington Univ., Washington, DC? In the book he pointed out
the influences that played a big role in the makeup of the personality
of Obama during his developing years. Among other things, he thought
that Obama could have an obsession concerning bipartisanship. Once
an idea assumes the proportions of an obsession, the obsessed person
can no longer get away from it. Intelligence plays no role here.
It looks to me now that the coming 4 years will be a repeat of what
Obama had done the past 4 years. He always has been slightly to
the right of center, from my point of view. The extreme rightists, of
course, think of him as a leftie, if not a commie.
I"d be happy to be wrong about what I've written above.
