I have little use for anonymous sources and even less for armchair psychiatry. It is obvious, however, from Obama's admissions in his book,
Dreams From My Father, that he is profoundly screwed up emotionally, separate and apart from his admitted heavy drug abuse.
I have read his book, several times actually. It is the most bizarre book by any important personality, either past or present, that I have ever read. It has a weird, almost psychadelic quality, as though written by one bleary eyed drug addicted visionary for the consumption of other bleary eyed drug addicted visionaries in the 1960's. (Reminds me of the nauseating, sickly sweet smell of marijuana smoke in the hall ways of UCLA during the Viet Nam War.) He does kind of sober up, however, when he's writing about dirty rotten white people and the "
poison of European culture."
I am still reeling from the fact that someone could be elected President of the United States after publishing something so weird. This book is a "best seller" which means many people bought it. I suspect very few people actually read it. (I filpped through the "
Audacity of Hope", his second book, but much of the prose was simply recycled from "Dreams From My Father" and I passed on it.)
Here's a link to the Lyndon Larouche web site where he's calling for removal of Obama from office under the 25th Amendment for psychological disability. Larouche is hardly a mainstream figure, but Obama's detached, robotic behavior suggests there is something very weird about this guy in as much as this theme of mental disability seems to be cropping up in various places on the net.
