A theory: President afflicted with Stockholm Syndrome?

Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response sometimes seen in abducted hostages, in which the hostage shows signs of loyalty to the hostage-taker, regardless of the danger or risk in which they have been placed.

In my opinion, all to many Blacks have been forced into the Stockholm Syndrome and no one knows it better than old Black teachers who were forced by law to stop exclusively teaching our Black children going into an integrated teaching environment. The integrated classroom is different in that there are certain teaching tools you can not use. I posit American integrated schools and curriculum have confused our Black youths.

I note our President who, in the opinion of many, pandering what appears to be a pathological need to satisfy Republicans at all cost. I am glad I know about the Stockholm Syndrome. It is easier to understand my President. Hopefully, he is playing 21 century politics. I hope so but it is confusing and personally distasteful.

More Fighting Words Needed From Obama On Healthcare Reform
by alaprst
Excerpt:
The other key problem is the lack of passion Obama and his White House seem to bring to fighting for what matters to progressives. The tap dance they've been doing on whether Obama not just supports, but will fight for, a public option has been going on since the transition, and it's only one of many policies they are determined not to commit too much to. The unwillingness to pick fights and go toe-to-toe with insurers, drug companies, Wall Street, and other special interests is making the progressive community a lot less willing to pick fights for them.
You see the warning signs everywhere, from Paul Krugman's columns to Bill Maher monologues to the dropping numbers from Democrats in the latest DailyKos poll. But what worries me the most is the hard-core Obama people I know, the ones who were most excited about him during the campaign who are growing so disillusioned.

P.S. ActBlue $20 + $5. Waiting for Red Lobster to reject and denounce Glenn Beck so I can take my lady friend to lunch. I live in the neighborhood wherein the Blacks threw Oreo cookies at Michael Steele. I am surprised they have not gotten on Red Lobster’s case.
