[QUOTE=zimmy;1143847]How does one loose a mind?

minds not firmly attached to reality....like this...

"As president, Obama always found us wanting. We were constantly disappointing him. He would tell us the right thing to do and then sigh and purse his lips when his instructions were not followed.

Shortly after Donald Trump was elected, Rhodes writes in his new book, “The World as It Is,” Obama asked his aides, “What if we were wrong? But in his next breath, the president made it clear that what he meant was: What if we were wrong in being so right? What if we were too good for these people?

So really, he’s not acknowledging any flaws but simply wondering if we were even more benighted(in a state of pitiful or contemptible intellectual or moral ignorance) than he thought. He’s saying that, sadly, we were not enlightened enough for the momentous changes wrought by the smartest people in the world — or even evolved enough for the first African-American president.

We just weren’t ready for his amazing awesomeness."
