I finally figured out why Obama so often looks uncomfortable, impatient and annoyed. He never seems to be a regular guy. One who can enjoy his public opportunities at local eateries and indulge himself like a real American enthralled with delicious unhealthy foods. To joyously let loose and just be a happy black guy able to live in a millionaire's McMansion and have a shot at being president after hardly learning how to be a senator. Why?
Deep down Obama wants to scream, because he is suffering from a severe case of crotch or jock itch or, more correctly in his case, bitch itch. As a presidential candidate in the public limelight 24/7 he restrains his natural desire to vigorously scratch his inflamed, drive-you-crazy itch, which is named Hillary. His wife understands that it has not resulted from any intimate physical contact with Hillary and surely feels his pain. Though Mrs. Obama must continually remind Barry that he cannot afford to let his incessant itch overcome his well-honed professional capability to hide the truth and keep smiling. Obama compulsively strives to be the super-successful black man he and his wife have been waiting for.
So Obama courageously keeps talking, selling change but unable to change his own misery. Silently and grinningly, he bears the pain and discomfort that is always wriggling in his consciousness like some alien indestructible life form. Often he must pause between words as he tells himself to resist the temptation to openly and brazenly acknowledge his pain to just scream at the top of his lungs. And now you can better understand his various loony statements. He stays just one tempting moment away from dropping his messiah faade, falling off his pedestal and loudly screeching "Hillary is driving me freaken crazy and I'm not going to take it anymore!"
Now you know the rest of the story. Every time you see the big Obama grin remember what is driving him nuts the Hillary itch that grows more irritating day by day, that just won't go away and might eventually cause his mental heat to melt his politician cool. To throw away his self-righteous script and scream obscenities as he confronts his pain.
Just imagine how stressful it is for Obama to stay so supremely confident, defiantly resisting that most human urge to scratch his Hillary bitch itch. His obsessive ambition to be the first black American president seems strong enough to resist rational human response. But is that the kind of person we want as president? Someone with such yes-we-can self-control, unable to boldly fight his pain because doing so might jeopardize his ego-soaked quest for the ultimate power? I see a character defect.
Considering that Obama has made his candidacy more about himself than ideology or policy positions, it is fair to be concerned that he is too cerebral and aloof. I want a president that knows how to scratch his itch. If he cannot act on his pain, how can he act on my pain and the pain of many millions of working stiffs? Indeed, maybe if he related more to the pain felt by Clinton supporters he could be the uniter we've been waiting for. But if he cannot unite Clinton and Obama supporters, and whites and blacks, how could he possibly unite Republicans and Democrats in government to change the same old politics? If anything, he has demonstrated that he is just another polarizer.

You are so right, Joel! This man just wants to let loose so bad that it makes you just wish he would! Then perhaps we might see something we could respect.

I don't know about the jock itch but the uniting part I agree. If you are who you say you are that leader then why not now?

No offense, but I find this article incredibly offensive. These politicians aren't perfect by a long shot, but I don't think they need to be associated with the words crotch or bitch either. Somebody needs to get out there and try to lead this country, and Obama and Clinton at least have the guts and the drive to give it a try. And if you don't think it takes guts, just count all the secret service guys that surround them all the time. I think they deserve respect even when we disagree with them or wish they would rise above the political fray.

You talk as if there is any shortage of politicians trying to become president, as if you have already forgotten the many Democrats and Republicans that entered the primary season. When 81 percent of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track and it is pretty obvious that ALL the remaining candidates are nothing more than lying, corrupt politicians pandering to the public to get votes, then it should be clear to nearly everyone that our political system is awful. More Americans need to wake up to the steady decline of American democracy that the Bush Administration pushed along at a faster rate. I used those words, which are certainly fairly common, to draw some attention to the problems I examined. When Obama can make a public pronouncement that he is angry about what the Rev. Wright has said and shows at that moment absolutely NO negative emotion in his voice or expression, then any psychologist will tell you that there is something seriously wrong with his mental makeup. Worse yet, Obama has not admitted to a serious lack of good judgment in maintaining a 20-year relationship with Wright.
