Psychiatrist Patiently Listens To Obama Complain About Every Single American: President Obama vents to his psychiatrist about his deep-seated issues with the nation’s citizenry.
WASHINGTON—Carefully jotting down notes as the two sat in his small second-floor office on K Street, psychiatrist Dr. Thomas Eccleson patiently let President Barack Obama angrily voice his complaints and grievances about every single American in the nation, sources confirmed Tuesday.
While conceding that the president has “made some decent progress” over the course of several months of therapy, Eccleson told reporters that Obama still has many deep-seated issues with each of the 313 million members of the U.S. populace.
“This week we continued exploring Barack’s resentment about being constantly judged by others,” said Eccleson, noting the president’s reliance on unhealthy defense mechanisms to distance himself emotionally from the American public. “Again and again I hear things like, ‘No matter how hard I try, nothing is ever good enough for Seattle resident Bryan Harrison.’ But I keep stressing that, at the end of the day, Barack is a human being and can’t expect himself to be perfect.”
“A lot of his feelings of inadequacy—thinking that no matter how successful he is, he can’t live up to people’s expectations—stem from his relationship with his father,” Eccleson continued. “That’s also at the core of his trust issues with not only Bryan, but also Gail Shaughnessy, Eric Corker, Amy Bergin, and more or less the entire population of Worcester, MA.” …
“What I try to impress upon Barack is that it’s perfectly normal to get angry at other people,” Eccleson said. “That it’s completely fine, say, to disagree with the Peraldi family of Glynn, GA about health care reform. What’s not okay, though, is keeping those feelings pent up inside until they boil over.”
“We’re working on ways for Barack to express these emotions in a healthy, mature way,” Eccleson continued. “But it’s difficult, because he’s been harboring a lot of negativity toward southeast Georgians for a very, very long time.” …
“It was challenging at first because Barack can become incredibly defensive when he’s wrong,” said Eccleson, citing instances where the president had furiously accused the entire middle class of holding him to unfair standards. “He tends to compartmentalize and then project his fears onto others. I just had to cut him off halfway through one of his rants earlier and ask, ‘Is the city of Cleveland to blame for stagnant unemployment and a dying manufacturing sector, or are you just blaming yourself?’”
