Obama's Winter Fall from Grace: ANGER

Obama’s Winter Fall from Grace: ANGER

Second in a series on the collapse of the Obama presidency, its causes, and its effects on Barack Obama, effects comparable to the 5stages of grief. Part One dealt with denial. Today:

Our leader is said by his acolytes to be unflappable, (as well as brilliant, articulate, charming, handsome, gracious, etc. etc. etc.), yet he became clearly “flapped” with our banking system, our banks, their executives, and their bonuses.
