"In July 2008, I was the first to suggest that Obama may be suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). How is a prominent narcissist likely to react to defeat and failure? Will Obama disintegrate, decompensate, act out? Is this a dangerous situation?" A November 2010 L-PAC interview with Sam Vaknin, author of "Malignant Self-love: narcissism Revisited" and other books about personality disorders. Transcript of the video:

Fortunately, Ubama isn’t actually the person running things in his regime. Still, he is a vindictive little scumbag and I’m sure he will continue to jam a thumb in the eye of normal, traditional Americans every chance he gets. He’s gotta just love his faggot lobby, which has the same selfishness, the same collective personality disorder as Ubama.

Yup, and his specialty then was to listen to crazy people all day.

He will remain intact but brittle in spite of failure as long as the press/Hollywood/the popular culture feeds him narcissistic supply.the moment this dries up, and if he begins to hear true comments about his failures/incompetence he will become a flailing wreck. That’s why I’m so surprised sarcasm and ridicule aren’t used by the conservatives in Congress, it would cause him great distress. I was married to a narcissist for 3 long exhausting years, they are insatiable for approval and totally incapable of being cured by any method, you can only leave.
He has all the signs and a perfect childhood/adolescent background for such a disorder

Theory: Did Obama have a psychotic episode on the night of the Benghazi attack? Did his aides drug him, put him to bed,and let 4 men die to hide it?

Hollywood and the news media have too much invested in him, it is impossible for them to admit error, and they have to play out the string. But, from here on out, their guy is on a very short leash, and I suspect that he knows this. This probably means that the supply of available new initiatives to distract from the failure of the old initiatives has dried up. This recent war on coal, which went over like a lead balloon, might be among the last shots.

*******
Only if he were white;Republican don’t like to be labeled and called names. His color is a shield.

The media will never allow Americas first black President to fail.

It’s that simple.

Addiction is a common comorbidity, smoking, drugs,alcohol,aberrant sex, any distraction from seeing themselves as they actually are...And during stress that the realty is coming out, multiply x 1000

Narcissistic personalities are characterized as being high functioning and rather tightly wrapped. They survive challenges to their sense of grandiosity by discounting discrepant information and shifting blame to others as a primary defense.

They do not typically fall apart under pressure, although their need to project blame can make them look paranoid. They are also subject to fits of rage because aggression is the underlying dynamic of narcissism.

It would be misleading however to predict any sort of significant "meltdown." He wouldn't go down without a fight. If Obama found himself in Nixon's shoes in 1974 he would not have resigned but would have fought even if it did grievous harm to the nation.

Having spent time around recovering drug addicts, Obama reminds me of them very much. Most using drug addicts continuously lie. They make jokes of others easily. They will do anything for their next fix.

That’s exactly right unfortunately. I wish they ( conservatives)could say Obama’s beliefs,ideas,morals, leadership were failures and worse, and it not be racially attached to Obama the person.
The media is corrupt and co- dependent

I totally agree the various initiatives like the war on coal are a distraction from looking back on the failures. Life with my ex was like playing a game of Whack A Mole at the arcade, you strike one and 3 more pop up. These initiatives seem to come up out of nowhere, and if conservative focus is kept on the failures and the new things are not a distraction, Obama will have more speech/press conference breakdowns like has been recently...
