He defines the term. It is creepy, truly creepy. I cannot even glance at this strange human without sensing his immense love of self.

He is going to have to be well installed into his fantasy world to withstand the projectiles that will be coming his way.

Clinton was a smooth talker, too. And a narcissist, no doubt. With some distinct sociopathic flags flying around him; Obama, I fear, is going to make clinton look like a piker. Obama is in WAY OVER HIS HEAD....HE IS IN THE GROWN UP WORLD WITHOUT A PADDLE, ONLY THE REALLY BAD PICKS HE HAS MADE AS PREZ ELECT THERE TO STEER HIM. It is getting scary.

According to the following quote, we are in for a real showdown if he feels criticized. So, just like other fine dictators throughout history, his handlers will sense this and isolate him from any negative feedback. No one will want to give him the unflattering news (remember the old “don't kill the messenger” thing?)......

“A narcissistic injury occurs when someone defeats or criticizes the narcissistic individual. The narcissist may not show it outwardly, but they are haunted by criticisms and defeats. They begin to feel empty, degraded, and humiliated and are capable of retaliating with narcissistic rage. Their reactions constitute disdain or defiant attacks”

Yes, Obama is a different stripe than Billyboy was. Barack is more of a pure narcissist while Clinton has the more familiar stigmata of the psychopath. This should not be taken as cause for reassurance however. Narcissism and psychopathy are first cousins and under stress one can trigger the other.
