Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
When jealousy becomes evident by actions

Unhinged Jealousy

by HarryT

We have a leader in whom jealousy is most profound
At the mention of a true hero, he became unbound,
“Senator John McCain is no hero, he was just a
prisoner of war; I like people who weren’t captured,”
was his envious song
 
He went on to belittled the parents of a slain
Muslim-American hero who made the supreme
sacrifice for his country, an act fill with
jealous rage, an act just so very wrong
 
Yet, in his self-interest, he evaded the call to military service
received four student postponements then a bone spur deferment

There is no question that hot-blooded hatred runs deep
within this envious man, it could be measured early in his
campaign of birther objection to Obama's election and
jealous reaction to Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize honor
 
Almost daily, when confronted with people who  anger him, he
simply resorts to name calling and a compendium of disparaging remarks,
without question these actions are the tactics of a jealous, insecure heart
