"IS BARACK OBAMA A DANGEROUS PATHOLOGICAL NARCISSIST? YOU DECIDE"
Sam Vaknin, author of the book “Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited“. ^ | 8/13/2008 | Sam Vaknin, author of the book “Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited“.

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.

Can there be any doubt. This describes lots of Democrat politicians.

yes yes yes and yes

but hopefully much more stupid than history’s successful narcisstic despot (having coasted through life largely on his skin color and street skills at hustling)

True, but read the links, watch the video. Name me one other person in the US who fits this description to this degree? We aren’t talking someone who just loves themselves we are talking mental illness.

“Obama” “dangerous” “pathological” “narcissist”

Redundant headline.

Bill Clinton? Blago? Biden is just an idiot. Actually, I think most of them are mentally ill. What about Reid, Pelosi, Kerry, Kennedy or Gore? They’re all nuts.

Also, watch his new conference last week, where he was asked the question on the investigation. See him change, see the anger, the disgust that how dare the reporter not ask something favorable to him. Mark my words, once he gets in and actaully gets the POWER, he will be ready to RULE on day one just like Valerie said he would. Not govern, RULE!! That was no slip of the tongue, that’s how he thinks.

I read about Vaknin’s analysis of Barack Obama before. Yes, Barack Hussein Obama is a pathological narcissist, and that makes him dangerous in spite of his political and personal agenda. Add those in and he’s TNT, in my opinion.

Bill Clinton? In fact I think this applies to Bill even more so.

We now know two things about Obama, he lies and he is a crook. He does neither very well.
