I agree. Obama is a narcissist. I read narcissists are perpetual liars. Here is what I read about how narcissists view lying vs telling the truth. The following fits Obama perfectly.

“Since telling lies is a typical charactistic of Narcissism, lying is something they do like breathing is to you and me. It is part of their life but, it is part of the sickness, something they do even about the most insiginificant things. Whether they believe their lies or not, even when they conflict with previous tales, is not an issue at all for the narcissist. The narcissist only wants others to believe them.

If you believe what you are told, the narcissist is happy and you are giving him/her the narcissistic supply needed. If you confront the narcissist with the lie, and don’t believe it, you are removed from their world of “supply.” They cut you off. They devalue you. They exclude you, or retaliate, or get revenge. But they do not care that you did not believe them with any feeling of REMORSE at all for lying. The lies are told to influence, or entice, or impress you in some way, or to worm out of something they do not want to admit to, to hide behind, or blame someone else. If the lie does not work, don’t think they even care if they believe the version of the story. They probably won’t even remember it. They just move on.

The narcissist has no concern about truth being important as you do. None. Truth is something they have no reverence for, nor do they feel that to be honorable they must be truthful. They do not believe anyone tells the truth, rather they figure that everyone lies, (yes, even you) and so they have no honor for their own word. Lies are only words to them that are said to sound good at the time...and truth is not an issue. They only care about YOUR reaction - whether it is belief/disbelief and that is what they are testing. Remember lying to a narcissist is only an instrument to judge you and see how worthy you are or can be to them...and it is only important to them because they need what supply you can provide by believing, trusting, or being impressed.”

I have known narcissists and what you wrote sure looks like them. I have separated myself from people like that. They just lie all the time, and I just got tired of being lied to. They lie when there is no reason to lie. I think you NAILED IT!
