of Barack Obama.
You can see why

(268,949 posts)He hates himself and can't understand why with all of daddy's and other people's money, people really really don't like him - only 'deplorables' like himself.
He also hates the truth that Obama is smart, funny and very cool.

volstork
(5,400 posts)of life in the public sector (if you will; in other words, not immediately involving my family and me) are of the Watergate years and of watching the hearings. I remember distinctly my father (still an Eisenhower Republican at almost 88) being openly disdainful of Nixon at the dinner table, something he, as a reserved civil engineer, never did. Even at age 7-8, I was suspicious of Nixon, asking my parents why he was sweating so much on TV; I knew there was something amiss with him.
I am now well into middle age, and as I have learned more about Nixon, and human nature, I know how devastating insecurity can be, both for those who feel it, and for those who surround them in any capacity. Bring that onto the national and international stage, and you have the makings of a profound disaster.
Think what would NOT have happened had young Adolph Hitler been accepted into the Viennese Academy of Arts, fulfilling his dream of becoming an artist. An oversimplification, to be sure, but history has hinged on smaller things than this.

(34,661 posts)Every time I read something about his so called career as a successful Tycoon,it seemed he was living a ultra ego created personality. And now we see the full transformation into that Ultra Ego Person. The Guy has some really deep personality issues.
What is scary,this Guy is going to act out more and more as he is held accountable or it the right personality calls him to task.

(34,661 posts)Understand the Sunday dog and pony shows did a ton of creative editing of Con Job Videos. Once again,it will be the Citizens to load up their e-mail boxes and twiter accounts. These so called talking heads do not like folks calling them to task via twiter . To many things can go wrong. And they do not negative responses on their Face Book.
malaise
(268,949 posts)but reality won't hit him for a while. That said I'm one of those who never thought he'd still be in the race.

(34,661 posts)the Talents contact info,don't be bashful,just keep it clean and to the point. Most of the time they will stiff you and no comment of some B.S. boiler plate. Then you know you made a difference.
tRump is discovering that money cannot buy CLASS, or intelligence. It CAN buy what he calls a "hot, young piece of ass" but is it worth it? American women are not interested, so he has to get foreign wives. The latest one does not look too happy, it must be time to trade her in for a younger model. (or escort)

gwheezie
(3,580 posts)I really think it was the public humiliation that he brought on himself with the birther nonsense and Obama coolly mocking him that drove trump to run for president.
It hurt bad and everyone was laughing - he never got over it. Obama will have the last laugh on election night.
colorado_ufo
(5,733 posts)He knew that, with the election looming, he was going to have to admit that the birther thing was bogus. So he kept the admission as short and low-key as possible - like a one-liner - and then tried to divert attention to the "splendor" of his new hotel, to boost his ego and try to impress everyone else. Then he put a cherry on top by claiming Hillary Clinton's campaign started the rumor and that HE managed to put a stop to it.
What a jackass.

(865 posts)hair. LOL. Seriously, all of you above have covered this so well already. Obama is a phenomenal President. It is unbelievable he has accomplished what he has regardless -- not to mention doing so with the racist backlash he has faced and the obstructed/obstructionist Congress on the Repug/Tea Party side.
A secure person would feel happy for Obama and the nation.
