Take Two Shit Moats And Call Me In The Magnet
Like the famous Rodin sculpture that inspires its name, the American Thinker is open to interpretation. Does it represent a loose organization of thoughtful conservatives pondering the issues of the day … or is it just a bunch of whackjobs taking a collective bowel movement on the truth for all eternity?
Roy Edroso has highlighted for us Teh Tihnker’s odd habit of regarding itself as ‘a long-distance psychotherapy practice specializing in Barack Obama’. And lo and behold, here’s American Thinker M. Catherine Evans at it again:
Barack Obama, Adult Child of an Alcoholic
Shirley Sherrod’s hair trigger firing is merely the latest in a long line of dysfunctional responses by the President that may indicate that he’s out of control. How many incidents does it take to make a pattern? How many times does the President have to show his propensity for paranoia, projection, and blaming others before his team arranges for an intervention?
In 12-step recovery programs, Obama would be called an ACoA, an adult child of an alcoholic.
And in other programs, Obama would be called an ALCofMX, an adult love child of Malcolm X — but that’s not important. Pray continue, doctor.
His father, Barack Obama, Sr. was the typical garden-variety chronic alcoholic. But according to a 2008 article in the Boston Globe, as Barack Sr.’s disease progressed, he became a very dangerous man.
He began to drink more heavily and had a series of alcohol-related accidents, one of which resulted in the death of another driver.
Obama Sr. would die in a car accident at just 42, but before that he visited Obama Jr., then 10, in Hawaii for a month. Aside from Obama Jr.’s infancy, that turned out to be the only time spent between father and son in their lives. And if you think a month is a pretty short time for all of Senior’s dysfunction to seep through Junior’s pores and turn him into a monster — well, you’d be wrong, according to M. Catherine Evans:
In a July 23 interview with Good Morning America, correspondent Elisabeth Leamy asked the president about the Sherrod mess. Obama replied:
He [Tom Vilsack] jumped the gun partly because we now live in a media culture where something goes up on Youtube or a blog and everybody scrambles.
A typical response for an ACoA is to blame others. Obama calls everybody else out, but he’s the one that ‘scrambled’.
Obama and his team certainly didn’t acquit themselves well with Sherrod’s ‘hair trigger firing’, as Doc Evans put at the very start of her diagnosis. Rash action and shifting blame is proof positive that the President is ‘out of control’ and in need of an intervention.
So too, amazingly, is Obama’s penchant for moving slowly to act and accepting responsibility:
He waited six weeks after the Deepwater Horizon oil explosion to answer critics’ charges that he wasn’t doing anything. Obama stated:
I take responsibility. It is my job to make sure that everything is done to shut this thing down.
His words drip with the narcissism of adult children of alcoholics. Having been abandoned by both parents, Obama sees himself alone in the world. He doesn’t have to consult the experts; in his grandiose way of thinking, he’s the expert on everything.
Adult children of alcoholics — they just can’t win for losing!
At any rate, there’s more to the diagnosis, including some sobering words about how Obama is a raging ACoA because he noticed that Fox News doesn’t view his presidency favorably. You know, really lurid stuff that we probably ought not to repeat in a family establishment.
Good thing Bush Jr. never had such a close connection with an alcoholic.

In 12-step recovery programs, Obama would be called an ACoA, an adult child of an alcoholic.
Based on her word usage and the frequency of the letter “e” in her writings, my professional diagnosis for M. Catherine Evans is advanced schizophrenia, paranoid delusions of grandeur and post-traumatic stress disorder from having been raped by her father, uncle, and the ice cream truck driver…altho that last one is rumoured to have been consensual.
Further, her use of “punctuation” cries out for the diagnosis of Munchausen’s Syndrome, with a side diagnosis of nymphomania with corpses.
Funny, too, how never admitting he was wrong was a sign of moral clarity or some such when Bush was president.
Good thing Bush Jr. never had such a close connection with an alcoholic.
Yes. Post-Katrina: not scrambled. Flightsuit a la codpiece: not grandiose.
And if you’re going to put up the usual American Thinker image, can we have some scented candles and designer towels this time?
Funny, too, how never admitting he was wrong was a sign of moral clarity or some such when Bush was president.
Suddenly they’re engaging in situational ethics, DA. When Bush was firm in his convictions, it was about killing brown people and making the rich much richer.
That they approve of, so it’s healthy.
Obama’s stedfastness arises from making the rich just slightly less well off and about maybe reaching out to brown people because we could learn some things from them.
THAT’S JUST CRAZY TALK!
Bring it on!

the American Thinker is open to interpretation.
Indeed it is. My very first visit to Sadly No was the time Gav interpreted it thus.
I’m sorry; when I read the phrase, “long line of dysfunctional responses by the President that may indicate that he’s out of control,” I couldn’t stop laughing; as if the right wing would ever let Obama stay another night in the White House if that claim was remotely true.
And we’re calling it the “Deepwater Horizon Oil Explosion” now? Gotcha.
His father, Barack Obama, Sr. was the typical garden-variety chronic alcoholic.
Really? From Kenya, I would have figured him to be an exotic tropical kind of alcoholic, like an orchid in a vat of vodka.
Rash action and shifting blame is proof positive that the President is ‘out of control’ and in need of an intervention.

Bush Sr.’s childhood would been a lot smoother if he hadn’t been an Infant Parent of an Alcoholic.
Obama met his father only one time after he was an infant… for a month….
Obama’s exposure to the destructive effects of alcoholism continued when he accompanied his grandfather on visits to the home of the hard-drinking communist, Frank Davis.
So his dad visited for a month and his grandfather occasionally took him to visit a guy who was known to drink. Even if his father and Davis were drunk whenever Obama saw them that’s not much in the way of “exposure.”
Do. NOT. Go. For. The. Mangoes.
They be rotted.
Seriously. ATTS.
No if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go pour some bleach into my ear canal to get that post out my head.

I’m guessing you didn’t even get to the comments. I never knew there were so many out-of-work psychologists reading teh Stinker.
Later, in high school and beyond, Obama himself had trouble with drinking and drugs.
I never knew that this was considered to be a bad thing. Unless, by trouble, you mean that he trouble getting a hold of enough of either.

This is the kind of shit that made people think Prohibition was a good idea.
Also the kind of shit nobody could believe unless they were themselves seriously intoxicated.
It’s so strange that of all the bullshit claims they could make about Obama, the one they want to run with is “he’s a narcissist!” Does the general population even know what that word means? Do they really expect large numbers of undecided voters to say to themselves, “You know, I’ve always thought the president should have low self-esteem and no backbone! This guy’s got to go!”
Usually I can put myself pretty well in the wingnut frame of mind, but this particular slander is just beyond my comprehension.
I mean, intellectually, I know it’s just a dogwhistle for “uppity”, but still.
It’s so strange that of all the bullshit claims they could make about Obama, the one they want to run with is “he’s a narcissist!” Does the general population even know what that word means?
This is precisely why they’re running with it.
Think about it. It has all this negative baggage and connotation, yet sounds like a truly clinical diagnosis because they’ve probably heard it on Law & Order; SVU or some other cop drama. It doesn’t matter that most Americans couldn’t define paranoia (“Um, that means he’s a-skeered of something, right?”) if you handed them a dictionary open to the page.
Yet, it makes the pundit seem somehow mystical and attuned to the deeper psychology of President Obama. And therefore authoritative.
Does the general population even know what that word means?
No, but then I don’t think the general population knows what “socialist” or “communist” means, definitely not “fascist,” and probably not even “liberal” and “conservative” or “left” and “right.” Certainly they have little to no clue how any of those words fit into a modern American political context, let alone in those “past times” they look back to so fondly.
Does the general population even know what that word means?
Paranoia.
Projection.
Socialism.
Marxism.
Fascism.
Just a few of the things that the gen pop is very unclear on.
*shakes fist at Chris*
No, but then I don’t think the general population knows what “socialist” or “communist” means, definitely not “fascist,” and probably not even “liberal” and “conservative” or “left” and “right.”

Why doesn’t the president tell us what he doesn’t know about this?
Since Barack Obama lost the election to Sarah Palin, it is very narcissistic for him to say it’s his job to act as president.
So his dad visited for a month and his grandfather occasionally took him to visit a guy who was known to drink.
See, the fact is his dad was all the time beaming mind-waves at him from Kenya. It’s magic.

The funny thing is, it is considered quackery and malpractice to try to analyze a patient without an interview or any diagnostic process.
And the clowns at AStinker demonstrate exactly why this is the case.
“Great … now I’m humming Joan Baez songs.”
ALSO too a sign of being an adult child of an alcoholic.
Obama believed that a black man could be elected President, which was obviously the kind of grandiose delusion common to ACoA’s. And then he went and got himself elected, which means he’s the extremely dangerous kind of ACoA who acts on his delusions.
If you’re a adult living child of an alcoholic does that make you an ALCOA?

Adult Child of an Alchoholic He Barely Knew = BAD, VERY, VERY BAD

Other parts of the Iowa GOP platform call for “clarification on the definition of manure.” Of which there is considerable expertise in the GOP.

One of these days, she’ll surprise us with a twist ending.
Obama met his father only one time after he was an infant… for a month….
Alcoholism has a strong genetic component. Maybe she’s arguing that Obama is by definition an adult child of an alcoholic? I dunno, I’m not getting out of the boat this time but there are plenty in the mental health community who act like genetics are destiny rather than risk factor. They sell services to crazy people, after all. That they think you’re crazy is about as surprising as a vacuum cleaner salesman who thinks your rug is dirty.
Whatever baggage Obama inherited in the genetic department, he’s clearly overcome it — if you’re not a racist asshole, he seems to be about the sanest person in our whole government. If these people weren’t so blinded by racial animus, they’d hold him up as an example of the American Dream, and the fact that Racism Is Dead, and all those other black people who aren’t president are just Lazy Shits. Or maybe the Real Heroes are Obama’s white grandparents who managed to save Obama from ending up Too Negro, or Occidental/Columbia/Harvard for taking a savage in and teaching him some manners.
There are a lot of ways they could still be race-baiters and try to kill social programs, but they wouldn’t have to claim Obama is an unhinged crazy person when he’s quite clearly cooler than a polar bear’s toenails.
because I distracted WP by placing corn in my cleavage.
I bet you get some interest in your newsletter from that.
Alcoholism has a strong genetic component. Maybe she’s arguing that Obama is by definition an adult child of an alcoholic?
Maybe, but she shouldn’t couch it in the 12-step program language, then, because they specifically talk about growing up in the presence of/raised by an alcoholic parent.
The amendment states that “if any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive or retain any title of nobility or honor” from a “foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen” and “shall be incapable of holding any office of trust.”

Ronald Reagan was given honorary knighthood (“Knights Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath” — kinda gay in addition to kinda foreign) by the queen of England.
There’s no way Reagan deserved to be more than Knight Commander of the Bath.
Horatio Hornblower was a Knight Grand Cross. Reagan wasn’t fit to carry Hornblower’s jock strap, even considering that Hornblower had been dead for 130 years and was fictional.
To address your actual point, though, I’m sure Reagan’s knighthood (and the knighthoods of people like Eisenhower) was approved by special act of Congress (they can do that) and only valid in the UK. It doesn’t really affect the case of Obama’s (or anybody’s) Nobel Prize, which is best refuted by the fact that the Nobel is not a title.
I’m holding my breath til the Stinker crew applies exactly the same techniques to the Snowbilly.
It was nice knowing y’all.
I don’t think honorary knighthoods count, since the title itself confers no benefit to the holder. It’s like claiming you’re a doctor because some university conferred an honorary PhD on you.
Similarly, the Nobel Prize is bestowed by a private foundation and as such is not a “title” and while it is an honor, it’s not from a foreign government.
I never knew there were so many out-of-work psychologists
The thought cheers me up immensely.
I thought an honorarium was a place where you could build up your honor until it’s cut.
That’s my Suppository.
How many incidents does it take to make a pattern? How many times does the President have to show his propensity for paranoia, projection, and blaming others before his team arranges for an intervention?
I prefered Bob Dylan’s version.
now THAT’s psychobabble.
Oh, SmutClyde, I covet your mental acuity. All those extra words are so hard to sing.
