“...Barack Obama is a super likeable super leftist...”

I don't know about "super" likable, but he has been charming. The way all narcissists are charming. That is their ultimate and usually best talent and profession and they work on it harder than anything else. They realize that charm is the way they manipulate people. Once you are no longer in adoration of them, or you cause them some problem, you are out of their "fog." You are not needed. Or, in the case of Obama...thrown under the bus.

When the whole of the country no longer adores Obama he will not be able to handle it. Narcissists first blame everyone else, then they run and hide. A narcissist cannot endure being exposed or unliked. Perhaps Obama will suffer a mental breakdown or, at the least, a meltdown.

I have said it a thousand times and I wish the powers that be would provide some way that our leaders must undergo a stringent personality test. The way that business tests people for administrative or management jobs. The test reveals a person's proclivity for telling the truth, being able to work with others as a team player, and being able to withstand criticism, among other skills for leadership.

Obama would have failed any such test. His emotional makeup is weak and immature as though he stopped developing emotionally when he was a child. Sadly, many other politicians now in office would not have passed such a test.

But it is time we have stable, smart, humble, and honorable people in Congress who remember they work for us and not vice-versa! A personality test would weed out the most unworthy and un-trustworthy...such as Obama whose narcissistic personality would have been revealed and rendered him ineligible for leadership or an administrative position in any environment.

The campaign process and a skeptical press used to provide just such a “test;” the problem is that they completely abandoned their role this election cycle.

On the subject of Obama's narcissism, many of us saw it early on but obviously didn't successfully act in any meaningful way. With his weak emotional makeup and the arrested development you rightly suggest, I doubt he will suffer a mental breakdown as it isn't in keeping with his brand of over the top ego-mania.

Given the very few extreme narcissists I've met as role models, their failure to get their way when witnessed by those who matter (in this case the whole world), resulted in an uncontrolled rush to destroy folks around them...blaming them for the failure(s).

Suggest that Gibbs, Biden, Emmanuel, and perhaps Hilary may be targets. All white and all vulnerable.
