In the end, we all stand alone.
"In the main, Obama relates to his Cabinet the way he relates to the
rest of the world. “He’s a total introvert,” the former adviser told me.
“He doesn’t need people.”" - Todd S. Purdum, "Team of Mascots," Vanity Fair.
Do you have sympathy for the
devil, err, I mean the President of the United States? To say that he has a stressful job is an understatement. You have to be whacked out of your mind to take on the role of President at this point in time. You have to really hate humanity to wake up every day and do what you do as President, which includes lying about nearly everything and killing about nearly everyone (maybe the last part is an exaggeration, but who knows, if current trends continue, a global holocaust overseen by the White House is not out of the question).
To be the President you have to be fine with being a mass murderer, a liar, and a thief. You have to transform into a monster. Only a few brave psychopaths can do that.
