The narcissist:

* Feels grandiose and self-important (e.g., exaggerates accomplishments, talents, skills, contacts, and personality traits to the point of lying, demands to be recognised as superior without commensurate achievements);

* Is obsessed with fantasies of unlimited success, fame, fearsome power or omnipotence, unequalled brilliance (the cerebral narcissist), bodily beauty or sexual performance (the somatic narcissist), or ideal, everlasting, all-conquering love or passion;

* Firmly convinced that he or she is unique and, being special, can only be understood by, should only be treated by, or associate with, other special or unique, or high-status people (or institutions);

* Requires excessive admiration, adulation, attention and affirmation – or, failing that, wishes to be feared and to be notorious (Narcissistic Supply);

* Feels entitled. Demands automatic and full compliance with his or her unreasonable expectations for special and favourable priority treatment;

* Is "interpersonally exploitative", i.e., uses others to achieve his or her own ends;

* Devoid of empathy. Is unable or unwilling to identify with, acknowledge, or accept the feelings, needs, preferences, priorities, and choices of others;

* Constantly envious of others and seeks to hurt or destroy the objects of his or her frustration. Suffers from persecutory (paranoid) delusions as he or she believes that they feel the same about him or her and are likely to act similarly;

* Behaves arrogantly and haughtily. Feels superior, omnipotent, omniscient, invincible, immune, "above the law", and omnipresent (magical thinking). Rages when frustrated, contradicted, or confronted by people he or she considers inferior to him or her and unworthy.

Your pictures show the evil side of BHO. We didn’t see this side of the Obamessiah before the election but more and more the face of evil is shown. Even the MSM is showing his evil side.

I have written months ago on posts that I beleived Barry is mentally ill and will break-down in office or break this country.

I agree, that all politicians are narcissists, it is not a Dem. or Rep. thing.....

[KellyM37]

Narcissists are manipulative and extremely resourceful. They know how to the play their game, and how to get what they want, by using others. Obama is the least experienced senator among the Democrats. His political views are the most foolish of them all. One must never underestimate the manipulative genius of pathological narcissists. They project such an imposing personality that it overwhelms those around them. Charmed by the charisma of the narcissist, people become like clay in his hands. They cheerfully do his bidding and delight to be at his service. The narcissist shapes the world around himself and reduces others in his own inverted image. He creates a cult of personality. His admirers become his co-dependents.

[KellyM37]

Could all this phenomenal support and unbounded adulation erupt into violence? All the abuses and killings in Nazi Germany were done by the Germans, ordinary people who loved Hitler and believed in the glorious tomorrow that he was promising them. Hitler was insane, but those who did his bidding were not. Despite being smart, they did not hesitate to fulfill their fuehrer’s wishes and commit the most heinous crimes. The same thing happened in Iran. Ordinary people, once under the spell of Khomeini, acted like beasts. This is what happens when sane people follow insane people.

The reaction from Obama worshippers is similar to that of Muslims when their prophet is criticized. They are even prone to insult you. See how they overlook Obama's blatant lies and are willing to forgive his major sins such as racism. Note how the mainstream media bends the rules, twists the facts, exaggerates Obama’s little virtues, and even lies to sell him to the public.

How can smart people let themselves be manipulated by a Pathological narcissist to such an extent that they become quasi zombies? Recall what the smart Germans did under the spell of Hitler. Bear in mind what the Soviets did under the influence of Stalin. Consider what the Japanese did during WWII when they believed in the divinity of their emperor. Evoke how the Chinese Red Guard massacred millions of their own countrymen when they were blinded by their love for Mao and his faux notion of equality.

The prostitucians aspiring to be politicians should be first examined by medic and show proof of birth!

[maine-iac7]

It seems the idol worshiping is cooling off. His appointments - rather re-appointment of the Clinton regime - is puzzling to his adoring throngs.

His honeymoon may be over before his coronation.

I post a picture of the actor who plays Caligula, and you folks think of Hitler?

Hmmm.

[fanfan]

BTW, Obama looks like he has gout.

Good photo of Obamussolini.

[fortunate sun]

I was responding to the HItler comment, not the Caligula pic.

[TribalPrincess2U]

All I need to know is he is a socialist.

ALL I NEED TO KNOW IS HE IS A SOCIALIST!

There.

What I call pukeface.

"What I call pukeface."

that's a lot kinder than the words I was thinking about.

;-)

Barry was NOT “grandma's little dumpling”

Agreed, and that is why the term is in quotes. It wasn't just the lack of good men in their lives that messed them up, it was also the self-absorbed females that (from what I understand) were alternately indulgent or uninterested.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Who is that?

[Islander7]

His behavior may be drug induced.

Note the Q-Ray Bracelet

[Canedawg]

That is Malcolm X

[TribalPrincess2U]

Ah, thanks. Good morph.

We have regretably now elected 2 POTUSes in the past 2 decades who come from dysfunctional families and whose resulting personal ‘issues’ play out in the public forum.

This is yer money post right here, folks.
