Explaining Obama's Ressentiment*; Unearned success is the central theme of his life story.
"What is the root of Barack Obama's ressentiment? Why does he insist that men like Jack Gilchrist don't deserve their success? Not because they are successful. Even if Obama loses in a landslide, he will have enjoyed more success than most people can dream of in a lifetime."No, Obama resents their modest success precisely because they did earn it."
* ressentiment; res·sen·ti·ment
resentment marked by powerlessness: a feeling of resentment and hostility characterized by an inability to act to change the situation
