After twelve months of unabated blundering, the president just suffered an especially mortifying series of narcissistic injuries. The election of Scott Brown last week was a body blow to Obama. Time and again, his specialness has failed to translate into success for his fellow democrat candidates. Add to the Brown victory the recent Supreme Court decision to uphold free speech; a ruling that Obama says he is going to “fight”? Did this man actually go to law school at all?
“The narcissist is constantly on the lookout for slights. He is hypervigilant. He perceives every disagreement as criticism and every critical remark as complete and humiliating rejection – nothing short of a threat. Gradually, his mind turns into a chaotic battlefield of paranoia and ideas of reference.”
“Most narcissists react defensively. They become conspicuously indignant, aggressive, and cold. They detach emotionally for fear of yet another (narcissistic) injury. They devalue the person who made the disparaging remark, the critical comment, the unflattering observation, the innocuous joke at the narcissist’s expense.”
This time, the American people are the ones who must be devalued.
The pundit community is all atwitter. Will he or won’t he? Will Obama do a Clintonesque tack to the center following such harsh wallops to his ego and agenda?

One of his msm sycophants blamed FNC for the arrival of the Tea Party.
Guess they forgot about Santelli of CNBC for calling for tea parties all across the country.
Who knew Santelli worked for FNC.
Much as Gergen handed Brown the gift of ‘Kennedy’s Seat’, Santelli, one of their own station’s pundits gave us the Tea Parties.
This is exactly the characteristic that will turn him into a cold-blooded killer, just like Stalin, Mao, Castro, and Chavez.
Shouldn’t that read *decomposition*???
So are the neo-marxists that drank from the well of Alinksy and pattern their political strategy on Rules for Radicals a
group of narcissists or is their group narcisstic?
They certainly devalue everyone for political gain.
Or, as Ace said, "Obama's like Reverse Jesus. You will, collectively, assume his sins so that he is cleansed and untainted."
Lack of empathy--addicted to adulation, can't overstate the addictive behavior, attention is like crack cocaine to them--overreacts to any criticsm--
Wow! What great new royal title for the Dear Leader!
So let's capitalize it:
His Specialness
(Every head should bow, every knee should bend, etc.)
You speak of this in the future tense for some reason, when it began in 2008.
How about Putz?
I knew that;)
I was thinking more like stinking up the place;0
A person with no sense of shame can’t be shamed. Hence Obama will never no what shame is.
He is at the extreme end of narcissism (he is after all, in his own mind, the first president of the World).
He seems to be a hybrid "psychopathic narcissist" (a diagnosis only now under consideration by the DSM V Committee according to Sam Vaknin) in that he possesses all the qualities of a malignant narcissist plus those of a psychopath.
He is more than a typical narcissist. He isn’t like for instance, Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton at times was a little humble. Barry is self loathing, but he isn’t aware of it. He wants to lash out, destroy, make people as miserable as he is deep down inside.
He is a pathological narcissist. It’s not humorous, it is a serious, dangerous, mental illness. I think this is one of the reasons he doesn’t want us to see his past medical records. I would bet the farm he has been on heavy meds most of his life and still is.
The past few weeks it’s obvious he is coming unglued. He can’t take the rejection. He will try to over compensate, he believes he can make everyone love him. He can’t. He will begin to lash out and try to do more harm to those that reject him.
by saying his personal popularity would bail everybody out.
The retiring Berry, who doesn’t say when the remarks were made, now scoffs at Obama’s 50-or-below approval rating:
Writes ADG reporter Jane Fullerton:
Berry recounted meetings with White House officials, reminiscent of some during the Clinton days, where he and others urged them not to force Blue Dogs “off into that swamp” of supporting bills that would be unpopular with voters back home.
“I’ve been doing that with this White House, and they just don’t seem to give it any credibility at all,” Berry said. “They just kept telling us how good it was going to be. The president himself, when that was brought up in one group, said, ‘Well, the big difference here and in ’94 was you’ve got me.’ We’re going to see how much difference that makes now.” [snip]
Narcissists rarely take meds. They are sometimes rx’d for depression or other disorders, but N’s seldom cooperate. They have no tolerance for any side effects.
There is an old saying that a Narcissist will never go into therapy, but he will drive at least 4 other people to it.
Remember, BO doesn’t think he has a problem, he seriously believes the problem is us, not him.
