According to Michael Barone, that's exactly what we've got. BarryO the Prez is a prime example of a bratty adolescent who - with his little posse of you're-no-the-boss-of-me's - does the opposite of what his parents say just because he can.
A regime of tyrants dedicated to hatred of America, Britain and Israel is not going to be persuaded to abandon a central goal by even the most dazzling display of adolescent charm
A contrary, pimple-faced boy who thinks he's hip, slick and cool, but really knows just enough to be dangerous. And might just burn the family house down with his arrogance, all the while whining about how mean and hateful and wrong the parents have been.
As president, he has singled out missile defense for cuts, even in the face of missile launches by North Korea and evidence of continuing missile development by Iran. Bush abrogated the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and pushed ahead on missile defense, so it must be bad even if there's no U.S.-Soviet balance of terror to destabilize anymore.
The toughest time for me as a parent was when Lovely Daughter was a teenager. For her, as with MOST people, it's a stage she passed through. For BarryO and Company, I'm afraid it may be a lifestyle. And it's our house that's in danger of burning.
These moves show an adolescent determination to renounce the policies of those who came before, no matter what. As parents know, it takes time for an adolescent to grow up.

Yep. Everytime he opens his mouth, it is a self-justifying lie. I can't stand it much longer.
