Subsequently PET calls him and asks for counsel/advice/guidance regularly which Obama gladly gives him. PET said many very flattering things about Obama and has conveniently forgotten all the bullsh** rhetoric and lies in which he engaged for so long to undermine/discredit/sabotage/destroy Obama. And so it goes. You can see that PET is very quixotic/undependable/flipfloppy sloppy. Good luck believing anything he says. less

I think it's probably the opposite... that people who had less rigid parents in terms of feeding schedules and such learned that their needs will be fulfilled- that it shapes their view of fairness, so they're more willing to wait for things. Do you have any real-life experiences that might suggest willpower is related to "training" as a small child/ baby? less
