Who is this “we” of whom Mr. Lewis speaks? Reading the first paragraph of his recent column on American Thinker would surely lead one to believe that Lewis is a psychiatrist. Nothing on the site lists any type of credentials, academic or otherwise.

In a piece entitled “Obama’s Malignant Narcissism”, Lewis cites that unimpeachable medical authority, Wikipedia, to make his case that Obama is a narcissist.

The term “malignant narcissism” was developed by Dr. Sam Vaknin who was not even mentioned in Lewis’ article, let alone given proper credit for defining the term.

After fourteen months of Obama, an advanced degree is no longer required to figure out that the man is a narcissist. However, to present oneself as a mental health expert on a conservative site while making misstatements and failing to cite credible sources creates fodder for the Left and undermines the credibility of those of us, such as Dr. Vaknin and myself who have done our homework.

Agreed. No one needs Wiki to figure out that 0's a narcissist. Just look at his words and actions.

Someone said he thinks he's another Franklin Roosevelt, and is trying to ram through legislation that will be the ruination of the country and its economy, just so he can cement his FDR-type legacy.

I think it's worse than that. It appears he honestly, pathologically, believes that he is on some divine, superhuman level, and thus he should be the sole determiner of what's good and right for us. Like he said -- all discussion about health care (and by extension everything else he decrees) is over. We are mere humans in his eyes, and as such have no natural right to question the Lord G-d 0.

Wikipedia has a lot of good credible info on their site. Much of it is footnoted with references at the bottom of the article.
