Former NYT Executive Editor Keeps Barack Obama Therapy Doll In Her Purse

A former New York Times executive editor keeps a Barack Obama therapy doll in her purse, she wrote of herself in an op-ed The Guardian published Wednesday.

Jill Abramson, 63, the former executive editor for The New York Times from 2011 to 2014, claimed she keeps a therapy doll of the 44th president to get her through the Trump Administration, she   wrote  in The Guardian Mar. 7th. The Harvard educated journalist previously wrote an Obama Administration book, “ Obama: The Historic Journey ,” published in 2009.

Abramson was fired from her executive editor position at The New York Times in 2014, The New Yorker  reported . She currently  works  as a Harvard English Department lecturer and a political columnist for The Guardian.

“It’s easy to look at what’s happening in Washington, D.C. and despair. That’s why I carry a little plastic Obama doll in my purse. I pull him out every now and then to remind myself that the United States had a progressive, African American president until very recently. Some people find this strange, but you have to take comfort where you can find it in Donald Trump’s America,” Abramson wrote.

I'm not able to post any articles on this site.  Apparently there is a secret to selecting pictures that are now required for articles.  

I've never experienced a site that inadvertently dissuaded members to participate because they're not able to pass a tech course.  This is very frustrating.  It really shouldn't be this hard.

You could contact Perrie or the moderators and ask them for help.

One more thing - I finally figured out how to add a photo to a seed. This seed was the first I've had success with, but the photo only appears with the article on the front page. As you can see, it's not up at the top of this seed, and I don't know how to put it there, too.  Oh, well!

Yes, it's true, Barack Obama was ten times the President Trump will ever be and some like to be reminded of those years unlike the half wits and bigots who screamed and gnashed their teeth at having an educated, well spoken constitutional scholar who happened to be black as President for 8 years.

Trump supporters weren't the ones who "screamed and gnashed their teeth":

Oh, I guess I was just imaging the eight years of racist memes, hate and lies thrown at President Obama and his family. /s

Do the angry bigots really have such short memories? Apparently they do because none of them can remember the situation America was in at the end of George W. Bushes two terms.

Imagine whatever you wish. I will not participate in your further attempts to derail my seed.

I wonder if this is Abramson's false idol:
