The narcissist:
* Feels grandiose and self-important (e.g., exaggerates accomplishments, talents, skills, contacts, and personality traits to the point of lying, demands to be recognised as superior without commensurate achievements);
* Is obsessed with fantasies of unlimited success, fame, fearsome power or omnipotence, unequalled brilliance (the cerebral narcissist), bodily beauty or sexual performance (the somatic narcissist), or ideal, everlasting, all-conquering love or passion;
* Firmly convinced that he or she is unique and, being special, can only be understood by, should only be treated by, or associate with, other special or unique, or high-status people (or institutions);
* Requires excessive admiration, adulation, attention and affirmation or, failing that, wishes to be feared and to be notorious (Narcissistic Supply);
* Feels entitled. Demands automatic and full compliance with his or her unreasonable expectations for special and favourable priority treatment;
* Is "interpersonally exploitative", i.e., uses others to achieve his or her own ends;
* Devoid of empathy. Is unable or unwilling to identify with, acknowledge, or accept the feelings, needs, preferences, priorities, and choices of others;
* Constantly envious of others and seeks to hurt or destroy the objects of his or her frustration. Suffers from persecutory (paranoid) delusions as he or she believes that they feel the same about him or her and are likely to act similarly;
* Behaves arrogantly and haughtily. Feels superior, omnipotent, omniscient, invincible, immune, "above the law", and omnipresent (magical thinking). Rages when frustrated, contradicted, or confronted by people he or she considers inferior to him or her and unworthy.

My first take was it sounded like Bill Clinton.
We have regretably now elected 2 POTUSes in the past 2 decades who come from dysfunctional families and whose resulting personal ‘issues’ play out in the public forum.
Probably, but his supporters as a whole know the meaning of neither of these terms.
Bill Clinton? In fact I think this applies to Bill even more so.
NOT EVEN CLOSE, JUST WAIT AND WATCH
I’m pretty sure his mother was a nut case, and he is too.
YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Mom is a Narcissist and my late Dad was a Narcissistic Sociopath.
I’m extremely familiar with the personality. So is the Marxist one?
YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Socialist? NAW! Try the C word instead.
I completely agree, he is way beyond being a socialist. Frank Marshall davis taught him how to be a good little Commie
pathological liar will do
WOnder why he won’t release his medical records? Got to be something there, something big.
Nah...if you look real close, you can see Bawney Fwank behind him
Fours years of Mr.”Smuggles”....
I don't know how to photoshop.
Hitler was smart, and so is Obama. Hitler would not have become the monster he became had he not risen to power and had he not received so much narcissistic fodder to feed on. One man who saw Khomeini prior to rising to power recalled he would gently push flies out of his window, but would not kill them. The same man massacred tens of thousands of Iranians. It is power that brings madness out of the narcissist.
When these flimsy attempts to patch a tattered personal mythology fail - the narcissist is injured. Narcissistic injury inevitably leads to narcissistic rage and to a terrifying display of unbridled aggression. The pent-up frustration and hurt translate into devaluation. That which was previously idealized - is now discarded with contempt and hatred.
I tried to point the same thing out to some people before the election, but they were too far consumed with BDS to care. Growing up without good male role models that gave a rat's ass about them, "mommy's precious darling" (WJBC) and "grandma's little dumpling" (BHOS) were likely to give their own immediate circles a lifetime of problems, but America - in its wisdom - gave them everyones' car and house keys.
Yes, I'm bitter about it.

Narcissists are often callous and even ruthless. As the norm, they lack conscience. This is evident from Obamas lack of interest in his own brother who lives on only one dollar per month. A man who lives in luxury, who takes a private jet to vacation in Hawaii, and who has raised nearly half a billion dollars for his campaign (something unprecedented in history) has no interest in the plight of his own brother. Why? Because, his brother cannot be used for his ascent to power. A narcissist cares for no one but himself.
This man does not even know the number of states in the USA, or that Canada does not have a president. a narcissist is a shallow pond that pretends to be an ocean. Obama’s ignorance about what should be common knowledge is mind boggling.
Instead of writing a scholarly paper focusing on race relations, for which, he had been paid, Obama could not resist writing about his most sublime self. He entitled the book Dreams from My Father .Not surprisingly, Adolph Hitler also wrote his own autobiography when he was still nobody. So did Stalin. For a narcissist no subject is as important as his own self. Why would he waste his precious time and genius writing about insignificant things when he can write about such an august being as himself?
Obamas election as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review led to a contract and advance to write a book about race relations. The University of Chicago Law School provided him with a fellowship and an office to work on his book. The book took him a lot longer than expected and at the end it devolved into
, guess what? His own autobiography! Instead of writing a scholarly paper focusing on race relations, for which, he had been paid, Obama could not resist writing about his most sublime self. He entitled the book Dreams from My Father .
The only other public figure I’ve ever seen in that pose is Mussolini. Does a photograph like that of, say, W, even EXIST?
It wasn’t just Davis...Have you read any of the thread.....Mommy Dearest and “Toots” have ties of some kind....
Certainly not what’s in Kansas, Dorothy!
Who is the man behind the curtain?
