Obama looked to a lot of this followers like a harmless, well-meaning person.

His critics have long recognized his darker aspect and just this last week more evidence of Obama's malignant personality emerged.

Obama plans to take control of our country and by controlling healthcare he can silence critics and banish opponents.

BTW...see my new tag line!

How do you add to that?
And why wasn’t this broadcast everywhere last summer?
Oh I forgot, the media was intent on getting a racially different person in the white house and didn’t look any further. If the dimrat party implodes due to this goof, the media will go down with him.

America is on the verge of destruction.

So WHAT if he is narcissistic?

The crimes he and his masters are committing against America, our Constitution, and way of life are in no way mitigated by “narcissism”!

“his mother re-married and Obama had to relocate to Indonesia , a foreign land with a radically foreign culture, to be raised by a step-father”

I sincerely wonder if Obama was abused by Lolo. Indonesian discipline would most surely be different than American discipline and given that he was not only not his son, which many stepfathers have a problem with (not all mind you, but a good many from my experience), but also was at a glance a reminder that it wasn’t his son. This was a different time.

Add to the fact that Ann sent Obama to live with his grandparents... I just can’t see her doing that for no reason. Later she herself left him and took their daughter too.

Just an observation that I believe may contribute to Obama’s sense of narcissism.

“This is racism, pure and simple. The downside of this is that if Obama turns out to be the disaster I predict, he will cause widespread resentment among the whites. The blacks are unlikely to give up their support of their man. Cultic mentality is pernicious and unrelenting. They will dig their heads deeper in the sand and blame Obama’s detractors of racism. This will cause a backlash among the whites”

Wow, this is what is happening six months in!

They trend toward psychopathology, as in seeing others as simply means to more power and adoration.
They lack various degrees of an ability to see others as fellow human beings.
And finally they lack an ability to see reality in front of their own faces. Could be rough on our national debt.

And this was there for all to see from the moment Obama made his first pompous, hope and change nonsense of a stump speech. His arrogant, nose-in-the-air, imperious posturing was there from the first.

Hopefully enough are beginning to see through him to bring defeat of his major initiatives. But it's still cause for concern that so many fell for his Elmer Gantry act to begin with.

The great majority of blacks have also decided to vote for Obama. Only a fool does not know that their support for him is racially driven. This is racism, pure and simple.

A perfect explanation for Colin Powell's support of Obama, as we have known all along, also.

I agree that his childhood was a significant factor.
I believe narcissists come most often from a divided parental situation, and especially from a situation where one parent sort of idealizes them and the other devalues them.

The University of Chicago Law School provided him a lot longer than expected and at the end it evolved 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.

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.

OMG
