A narcissist is "a pond pretending to be an ocean." Seeing President Obama at the Chicago Bulls game last night reminded me of Dr. Vaknin's assessment of The Occupant as narcissist last August.

We’re in for one helluva struggle, even if it’s not correct.
Thanks for posting. I’ve read Vaknin’s assessment and posted it in a thread a couple of weeks ago. BTTT!
You’re welcome. I’m glad you posted this artcle on a thread. Obama’s damaged ego is threat to our lives and freedom.
An assessment of Obama’s narcissism.
Thanks for posting! I think it could be very instructive to watch him watch a Bulls game, etc. Always interesting to see people in their natural or semi-natural state...
It’s rather frightening when you make a comparison with some of the world’s worst dictators. All had serious ego issues and all erased and rewrote their own histories.
Kim Jong Il claims to have been born atop a sacred Korean mountain when in reality he was born in Russia where his parents were living in exile. Hitler went so far as to have the village of his birth bulldozed. Stalin? Sheesh where to begin.
Thank you for the link regarding Obama’s narcissism, and here is one I was referring to about Gore:

Oops..the Gore comment was on a different thread citing your blog article on Gore’s manners; my comment was in reference to China, and Obama’s comments regarding “not attending the Opening Ceremony to Olympics”.

When Barack Obama met with TV anchors at a White House lunch last week, he assured them he likes being president. “And it turns out I’m very good at it,” he added.
A pond would be an improvement. Next time you see a tobacco chewer spit, take a look. The resemblence to Obamaa is frightening, as is the fact that a glob of spit could do the job better than our Dear Leader. At least spit in the Oval Office would follow the injunction from the Hippocratic Oath: "First, do no harm." Obama has done nothing but harm since he took power.
Why settle for a community organizer, when we can step up to this?
As much as I think Obama might be a narcissist, Sam Vaknin is not a credible source within the field of psychology.
