But the president is an insecure egotist – bitter at those who he thinks got the best things in life (including a full-time dad, though you’d never, ever get him to admit this means a standard nuclear family is better than alternative lifestyle/single mom parenting). And he’s also one who is brave among a crowd of his followers, but cowardly in face-to-face confrontations, which is why he can snipe at Romney from afar but can’t even tolerate dealing with Boehner or any other Republican in things like the debt ceiling negotiations.

Save your pity. I’m pretty sure that Barack Obama will be so rotten an EX-president as to make Jimmy Carter and Ramsey Clark look like my-country-right-or-wrong jingoists.

I’d never even thought about it. I suppose if I had read either of his novels I might have come to the same conclusion. But to read his fictionalized accounts of his life would have, in some small way, caused revenue to flow in his direction, something of which I will have no part.

Its not hard to see why he would hate someone from a culture such as Mitt’s. I suppose that if I had been born of a philandering father and a shallow, ditzy mother so reckless as to marry such a man, I’d probably harbor the same kind of resentments.

It also explains how he has chosen to comport himself like the Sultan of Brunei rather than The President of the United States with his lavish vacations and countless rounds of golf while the nation struggles to recover not just from a serious financial disaster but one made far worse by the crushing burden of a regulatory regime run amok at his behest.

“When his father died in 1995, Mitt donated his inheritance to BYU’s George W. Romney Institute of Public Management and joined the board and was vice-chair of the Points of Light Foundation (which had incorporated his father’s National Volunteer Center).”
