I know that at the time I thought I bet all the Presidents have had a weird obsession. I know because I said that in a podcast at the time.
John Adams — Obsessed with letter-writing marathons to Abigail (over 1,100 letters) and naming pets dramatically, like "Satan."...Andrew Jackson — Obsessed with duels, killing people who insulted him, and teaching his parrot to curse....
Abraham Lincoln — Obsessed with wrestling, telling endless stories/jokes, and collecting jokes while dealing with depression and the Civil War....Theodore Roosevelt — Obsessed with "the strenuous life," jiu-jitsu, boxing, big-game hunting, and charging up hills (or anything).
And then there's Donald Trump: "Obsessed with Diet Coke (dozens a day), avoiding handshakes/germs/exercise, perfect hair, crowd sizes, and never sleeping much."
Of course, none of those is the "weird obsession" Kamala saw in Donald Trump. She said he was "weirdly obsessed with trying to get rid of whatever Barack Obama created."

Is there a nobler cause?
Kamala projecting her on former potential presidential weird obsession of talking about Trump.
I was told by old timers that “an obsession” is a thought that wins out over every other thought. I’d imagine it’s probably one of those things that are on a spectrum.
Is there any obsession that's not weird? Aren't obsessions weird by definition?
Th entire cult left have a weird obsession. Obey them of they will kill you.
Plans to dree my weird gang aft agley.
Bill Clinton was obsessed by...
They're all obsessed with power, or they wouldn't have been presidents.
Perfect hair??
Surely he doesn’t drink “dozens” of Diet Cokes a day.
Biden had a weird obsession with eating ice cream, falling off his bike, and holding on to power too long. But that worked out well for Kamala.
Most of our Presidents have been absurdly normal. What were Taft, Ford, Reagan, Carter, Coolidge, Hoover, Truman or Ike "obsessed" about? Golf? Fishing?
FDR was obsessed with his stamp Collection. JFK was obsessed with sex. The Democrats always tried to paint Nixon as some sort of weirdo, but his "obsession" was watching sports.
Abe and Teddy liked wrestling and ji-jitsu? 🤔
What is the difference between interest or liking and "obsession"? Obsessed has a negative conotation but what does it really mean?
RCOCEAN II throws a slow one right over the middle of the plate:
What's the difference between interest and obsession?
I am interested in Jews and Israel.
You are obsessed by them, and not in a good way.
Good to know Trump obsessed with staying hydrated!!!
Functional kidneys and pee pipe
Better to be obsessive than compulsive
We all have weird obsessions, at least in others' minds.
The Democrats thought “weird” the word was going to work for them against Trump.
If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.
this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal
Apparently, an obsession is anything you do more than twice.
Kamala was obsessed with jailing Black men for minor drug crimes, keeping them there beyond their sentences, and hiding esculpitory evidence. Just funny little quirks.

So was Kamala "obsessed" with Willie's ****?
The adjective "weird" is a handy tool for those too inarticulate to explain what they think and why they think it. It's a catchall to deprecate anyone you don't like for reasons that you can't specify. The accusation of weirdness works well because of its vagueness. We don't quite know what would be a non-weird apprach to extinguishing the many foolish actions of the Obama administration.
Her obsession was mutilating children and child exploitation.
Are they obsessions or just eccentricities? And to what extent are obsessions in the eye of the beholder? If you disagree with and don't respect a president, you are more likely to see presidential obsessions in those disagreements. Persistent issues keep resurfacing. Right now, it's Iran. There may or may not be good reasons for that but talk of obsessions doesn't get us any nearer the truth on that.
QueMala is obsessed with the need to feel unburdened by what has been.
And with alcohol.
Her obsessions are your possessions
Every piece that she can get
Her obsessions are her confessions
'Til her mouth is soaking wet
I think she blew it now, confession
She can't dodge it, it's simple logic
She’d be better off retired
And she knew it when she lost it
Knew it
