Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist

Global Politician ^ | April, 27, 2009 | Dr. Sam Vaknin

[Reagan Man]

Of course Obama is a narcissist.

He's also a smug, condescending liberal elitist, a black Marxist and a demagogue. Another polarizing political figure --- a divider, not a uniter.

When it comes to the Democrats we can have enough. They need to realize before it is too late that Obama loves himslef, not the country he was elected to lead.

Witness his little golf outing yesterday, laughing and joking while hapless Gibbs and Napalitano fumble around on the Swine flu. If that had been Bush out golfing, the picture would be on the front page of the NYT and Wash Post today.

>Indeed. Why isn’t this in breaking news?

Why should it be?

[villagerjoel]

What gave it away? Was it having written an autobiography before 50, or having written two autobiographies before 50?

[Miss Didi]

Speaking of the front page of the Times...

[kalee]

as a tack, huh?

Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist

Katrina appeared to be a hurricane

Appears? He has a classic narcissistic personality disorder.
I also think he is a misogynistic megalomaniac with a god complex and an all around a$$ hole.

Did you know Captain Obvious had an animal sidekick?

[dennisw]

You splatter your name on FR. You are a narcissist 9lol)

[east1234]

Psychotic? He’s paranoid and delusional? Maybe. I haven’t noticed. My ex has 3 personality disorders, but NPD’s not among them, so I know little about it. If he is delusional he’ll probably self distruct.

[machogirl]

remember the “finger” he gave?

[Waco]

Bill Klinton, narcissest, also rapest and drug abuser.?

[MAD-AS-HELL]

The only genuine politician that in NO WAY exhibits narcissism is VP Joseph Biden. He’s such a down to earth guy! /s

[FourPeas]

If you’re serious, you don’t understand narcissism. In truth, not understanding narcissism is a good thing; it likely means you’ve not been closely subjected to one.

[Labyrinthos]

Although I suspect that 0Bama has at the minimum a Narcissistic Personality Disorder, the guy who wrote this article would have great difficulty qualifying as an expert on the topic in the United States District Courts.

According to his CV (http://samvak.tripod.com/cv.html), he has a PhD in Philosophy, not psychology, from Pacific Western University, which is or was an unaccredited, on-line diploma mill (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Miramar_University). He does not have an undergraduate degree. And he has not published any peer reviewed, scholarly research papers on the topic of narcissism.

[FourPeas]

You are absolutely correct. Notice also that the author admits to being a narcissist. It all ties together, eh?

[Dr. Ursus]

Napolitano almost said that the government can’t do everything for you but caught herself. That would have been
a firing offense by the Dear Leader!

Don't puke so fast, FRiend. IMO here is the money quote:

Today the Democrats have placed all their hopes in Obama. But this man could put an end to their party.

This guy is a self destruct machine on overdrive. Just like Jimmy Carter created the conditions for the resurgance of conservatism and Reagan , I think this guy will do the same, only more so. We have a good shot at getting back the congress in 2010. Which, if this Doc is correct, will torture BO and cause him to show his true America hating colors to the whole country. To even the brain dead (maybe).
