Heckuva post on the narcissism thing.

I avoid conspiracy theories, but something rang an alarm bell in my head during this campaign. Twice.

First, when he called his granny a typical white person. How can a public person not know this is a racist statement? Unless he believes his above it. And how can a grandson ridicule his granny in public? Unless it serves his narcissistic purpose.

Second. When Obama mocked Joe the Plumber.

All the guy did was ask a question. And Obama blew the answer. Instead of shrugging it off, he had to get even with a freakin plumber, for crying out loud.

I see a lot of vengeance in this guy.

Thanks for the post. I’m keeping it as a handbook to this guy’s administration. I’m very fearful of him and guys like Chris Matthews, who actually seems to have drunk the Kool-aid. All the way down to people in my office who attacked PALIN for lack of experience. As if their brains and common sense were AWOL.

I had seen this article posted elsewhere. It piqued my curiosity, and it has been a loooooog time since I had my Abnormal Psych classes, so I started an Internet search. According to what I found, the symptoms are absolutely on target.

HOWEVER, the gentleman writing the article seems to have very dubious credentials. (He and Wikipedia appear to be embroiled in a flame war.)

According to “Psychology Today”, the symptoms of narcissism are: Overreacts to criticism, Uses others to reach goals, Exaggerates own importance, Entertains unrealistic fantasies about achievements, Has unreasonable expectations of favorable treatment, Needs constant attention and positive reinforcement, Is easily jealous.

I haven't found anything that disagrees with the posted article. In other words, folks, we may be in BIG trouble.
