Posted on 07/04/2013 7:59:37 PM PDT by Nachum

"In July 2008, I was the first to suggest that Obama may be suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). How is a prominent narcissist likely to react to defeat and failure? Will Obama disintegrate, decompensate, act out? Is this a dangerous situation?" A November 2010 L-PAC interview with Sam Vaknin, author of "Malignant Self-love: narcissism Revisited" and other books about personality disorders. Transcript of the video:

I have a brain, common sense and vote. I came to the same conclusion in 2008. Too bad so many have been addicted to the destructive drug called Barack Obama!

I worked for one for 4 years. He pulled one stunt too many one time, and I let him have it. After that, he was scared of me. People would laugh because if I didn’t say “good morning” to him he would go around asking if I was mad at him. Everyone at work admired me because I was the only one that that wasn’t afraid of him; he was afraid of me, but I told them that all they had to do was put him in his place and let him know that he isn’t as wonderful as he thinks he is.

You make some excellent points. Isn’t he extremely dangerous and capable of something really crazy?

Theory: Did Obama have a psychotic episode on the night of the Benghazi attack? Did his aides drug him, put him to bed,and let 4 men die to hide it?


That is an unsettling and likely correct theory, as POSHITUS’ critical commie support group does not extend past the beltway with a pocket in Chicago. He HAD to be sedated, he had a big SEIU gig in Vegas just hours away.

That’s why we have no photo of him in the SitRoom.

If Obama found himself in Nixon's shoes in 1974 he would not have resigned but would have fought even if it did grievous harm to the nation.

Much like that other narcissist of note, Al Gore.

That’s awesome! They have such insecurity behind the bluster, when my ex went on a tangent about some grand impossible scheme I just ignored it and didn’t play along, she gave up but sought approval outside of marriage...
I wonder how Obama will react on such a huge stage?

And it’s likely Benghazi was Thighness’ manifestation of ‘can he take that 3:00am phone call?’

No doubt she set multiple traps for the man her HUSBAND said ‘would be serving us coffee normally’ a few years ago.

Hillary doesn’t have it in her to foresee Doherty and Woods patriots to further mess her already hot mess up in Benghazi.

Algore was a narcissist?

What, in heaven's name, did Algore have to be a narcissist about?

Yea, as long as they get admiration and approval they carry on. Because he was the boss, most people were afraid to lose their jobs so they wouldn’t stand up to him. In a marriage situation, it’s probably easy to get approval from friends; either they don’t know the whole story or don’t want to lose a friend.

You haven’t heard that Al Gore is the limousine-riding, private jet-flying, gigantic house-owning champion of the battle against wasteful energy use and therefore the Saviour of the World? You must have missed Al’s memo! :)

(Invented the Internet, too)...

Maybe they announced the failure of Obamcare while Obama was out of the country for a reason...

That’s right! Just an exhausting personality to be around. I wonder if there are many old narcissists? There are in Hollywood I’m sure, but I can’t recall seeing that in a patient over 70... What happens as they age and alienate children etc?

Remember when the Olympic Games were denied to Chicago .....big time..... Drudge then Rush pushing the theme..
“The EGO Has Landed”? Every level headed American knew in their hearts, minds, and bones that O dark won had severe disorders which would eventually bubble to the surface.

Krauthammer made the same diagnosis some years ago - he’s a psychiatrist, ya know ...

Fascinating, but I somehow missed it.

Do you have a link, by chance? (Thanks!)

My ex-boss told me that his only child will not talk to him and he can’t see his grandchildren (and this had been many years). When I asked him why he said because he divorced his wife. Come on, did he expect me to believe that? Of course he did. A child doesn’t do that just because of a divorce.

Everything was always about him. If some employee lost a family member, he would say the obligatory sympathy and than talk forever about his dad. If my neck hurt, he had worse problems than me even though I’ve had 2 neck surgeries.He acted just like Obama does, and he was a big supporter.

Algore is not a narcissist. He’s just goofy and corrupt as can be. IMO

Yup, and his specialty then was to listen to crazy people all day.

You're talking about when he worked for Jimmy Carter, eh?
