EXCERPT

According to CBSSports.com: “But there is no doubt that Michael is a better golfer than I am. Of course, if I was playing twice a day for the last 15 years, then that might not be the case.

“He might want to spend more time thinking about the Bobcats — or the Hornets,” Obama finished.

Could have fooled me -- I thought that's pretty much what you have been doing... at least when you weren't destroying the country.

I’d be okay if he wanted to start playing golf twice a day for the next 15 years. If he’d vacant the office, I might even be inclined to pick up a greens’ fee or two.

“if I was playing twice a day for the last 15 years”

Playing golf almost every day for the last 6 years wasn't enough for Obama.

Plus playing whatever he does with Reggie Love might be a distraction.

I thought he has been playing twice a day every day for the last 6 years. And he still sucks at golf and the presidency, equally of course..

All of this is beneath the executive office. The presidency is above pettiness, something this current occupant does not grasp.

The leader of the free world does not respond to mundane inconsequential nonsense as though he were a reality TV star on The Real Golfers of Washington or Schlepping with the Stars.

I thought at first this was satire right out of The Onion. I cannot believe a POTUS would say this in public. What’s next ? Shrillery nominate Honey Boo-Boos mom for VP?

Narcissism

A 2012 book on power-hungry narcissists suggests that narcissists typically display most, and sometimes all, of the following traits:[7]

An obvious self-focus in interpersonal exchanges
Problems in sustaining satisfying relationships
A lack of psychological awareness (see insight in psychology and psychiatry, egosyntonic)
Difficulty with empathy
Problems distinguishing the self from others (see narcissism and boundaries)
Hypersensitivity to any insults or imagined insults (see criticism and narcissists, narcissistic rage and narcissistic injury)
Vulnerability to shame rather than guilt
Haughty body language
Flattery towards people who admire and affirm them (narcissistic supply)
Detesting those who do not admire them (narcissistic abuse)
Using other people without considering the cost of doing so
Pretending to be more important than they really are
Bragging (subtly but persistently) and exaggerating their achievements
Claiming to be an “expert” at many things
Inability to view the world from the perspective of other people
Denial of remorse and gratitude

I’d say Michael Jordan scored a direct hit on the Narcissist’s Ego ..... game on.
