Obama tries to operate, but being a pathological narcissist makes him feel that nobody else exists. And narcissists by definition can’t see that they have a problem; it’s always somebody else who has the problem and needs to change
And IMO Obama is getting awfully close to his.
If he picks up a paper or turns on a TV, he is going to learn that his rats are abandoning ship.
At first it'll bother him unconsciously...with little bouts of depression as the truth tries to push through to the surface. He'll schedule more and more golf as his avoidance behavior intensifies. He'll notice (or think he notices) his staff whispering about him in the hallways and behind his back.
Drip, drip, drip...
