And while Obama has reached the pinnacle of his life's pursuits, he has the touch of the proverbial male mid-life crisis sufferer, of course all in colossal proportions and power of the president.
So, whereas your typical middle-aged man who, upon stumbling into his crisis, pines for the salad days of yute, Obama yearns for the salad days of big government. He yearns for the things and experiences he didn't witness or experience:
Typical midlife-crisis shlub: "I always wanted to date a stripper, drive a red Porsche and be free to do what I want when I want. To ogle chicks, swear, and live the life of Jimmy Buffet."
President Obama midlife crisis: "I always wanted to be president and enact all sorts of programs to help the poor and disenfranchised, to gut Wall St. and make the rich pay for the largess the poor have bestowed upon them."
Well now he's living that dream (the dream of being in FDR's shoes vs. the nightmare of suffering throught the depression).
Of course these guys attempt to do all of this in the same year, unable to resist the temptation to get it all done. Then in six months or a year they're trying to get back into the good graces of their family.
