To be a member of the lap dog media is akin to being a badly hungover woman in a Vegas hotel room. OMG, Who is this guy?!
They should have known better.
A less qualified presidential candidate would have been hard to find. Yet Obama was not only a serious candidate and ultimate victor, but during his campaign, he pranced around, acting as if he already was president and the election was merely a ceremony to formalize his taking of the crown.
Now they’re surprised that Obama’s behavior is a bit strange.
Dr. Sam Vaknin describes the “malignant narcissist” as having pathological narcissism. The pathological narcissist will misrepresent facts as needed.
The malignant narcissist carries a messianic vision of himself and is prone to magical thinking; that is, he ignores data that conflicts with his fantasy.
Narcissists are high maintenance creatures with little hope of changing. The personality disorder is baked into them. Barack Obama shows the thin skinned nature of the narcissist in his responses to criticism.
Narcissists also have no intestinal fortitude for ridicule. Not only does Barack Obama lash out at critics, he is entirely devoid of the kind of self deprecating humor that can be so endearing in people in power.
Like all narcissists, Obama takes himself quite seriously. He is also misinformed about his special gifts. He finds the office of President of the United States beneath him. Yet, for all of the narcissist’s grandiosity, he is driven by a relentless need to pursue and maintain a source of narcissistic supply.
The most dramatic threat to his supply to date came last Tuesday when the American people emphatically rejected Obama–his policies and philosophy. His fellow Democrats had to run as anti-Obamas.
Predictably, the next day Obama showed his now familiar obtuseness about his own role in the slaughter. A narcissist is at his most menacing when he perceives a threat to his perpetual supply of admiration and affirmation. No Drama Obama is showing the truculence typical of narcissists when they sense a threat to supply.
Narcissists are like alcoholics in their insatiable quest for their supply.
"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."
The pundit community is all atwitter. Will he or won’t he? Will Obama do a Clintonesque tack to the center following such devastating blows to his ego and agenda?
No. He won’t. It’s unrealistic to assume Obama can find the center at all; nothing in his history suggests he is anything other than a radical Marxist. There is virtually nothing in Obama’s history to suggest he that he knows very much about the country he is supposed to lead. What we do know is that his closest friends and mentors have almost unanimously been radicals who despise America and see this great nation not as the greatest source of freedom and liberty in the world, but as its most menacing scourge.
The leader of the free world is becoming increasingly ticked off at America. No one can predict when Obama’s disorder will become too obvious for even the lap dog press to ignore. But, one thing is for certain–he’s not going to get better.
