In the novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, described as "a classic commentary on narcissism, decadence, and the wages of sin," author Oscar Wilde wrote:
Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself.
An empty canvas was offered by Barack Obama in the prologue of his book, The Audacity of Hope, with his admission: "I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views," and "my treatment of the issues is often partial and incomplete."
As writer Froma Harrop noted in her 2006 Real Clear Politics article, "Obama Scores as Exotic Who Says Nothing":

So, he’s really Dennis Kucinich? It’s illegal to hold two offices at the same time.
That is seriously creepy.
YOU GOT THE PICTURE RIGHT!!! LOL!
LOL! Thanks for adding to my Obama picture gallery (which is getting rather large)
In other words, he is a classic sociopath, a human chameleon who adapts to whatever he thinks people want of him so he can get what he wants of them. See the play/movie "Six Degrees of Separation" for a wonderful portrayal of this.
Because it's just a role, however, it does eventually get dropped. And that's when people realize how the sociopath, the con artist, has damaged their lives.
It's also when the sociopath is his most dangerous. His only sincere emotion is anger.
The author is right that the American people are to be blamed for having voted for such a transparently nutty person, but she must also realize that sociopaths have been getting away with frauds like this since the dawn of time. This one was just on a huge scale, thanks to the mass media.
Apparently they just clone traitors, somewhere.
Got these, yet?
Neither can I.
He makes my blood run cold and always has.
It drives hubby nuts because we’ll be watching the news together when <0 comes on and I’ll leap out of my chair and flee the room like my hair just caught fire.
I can’t help it.
He literally makes my skin crawl.
I pegged Obama as a psychopath (the term “sociopath” is just polite speak for the same personality disorder) back in 2007, when he popped up suddenly on the political radar.
It is said most inmates in prison are psychopaths, but most psychopaths are not in prison.
I’ll go further than the mental health professionals in saying that psychopaths (who make up upwards of 5% of the population) are in fact dangerous subhumans, and should be imprisoned for life without parole when identified, whether or not they have been charged with a crime.
A radical solution, I agree, but with one fell swoop you’d gut the Left in this country, since their leadership is 100% psychopathic.
Wow.
How eerie is that?
[what’s with the “I smell a dead skunk” look on <0’s face?]
“Liberalism is an infirmity that gives psychotics identity”
DONE!
Thanks!
I change the channel when Obama appears on the screen.
I used to kill the sound, but the hideous face was still there.
I think actions like ours are common for good people seeing the ant-Christ.
They are very dangerous because they are very persuasive. This is because their psychological condition makes them feel unconstrained by a moral system or even by reality, and also makes them feel that their personal desire of the moment is the most important thing in life and entitles them to do whatever they want.
Funny you should say that.
A year before he got nominated, a LOT of us were desperately trying to warn people of his black, evil soul.
Go ahead and call me silly but given a choice, I’d rather be trapped in a room with Charlie Manson than <0.
I have *never* had such a “bad spiritual reaction” to anybody else, ever.
[I pinged Shibumi because he and I have discussed this at great length]
