Why not both? He is nuts therefore he wants the destruction of the U.S.

Dr. Sam Vaknin is an Israeli psychologist. He has written extensively about narcissisma. Dr. Vaknin has a spot-on professional view of our new president.
Dr. Vaknin States "I must confess I was impressed by Obama from the first time I saw him. At first I was excited to see a black candidate. He looked youthful, spoke well, appeared to be confident -- a wholesome presidential package. I was soon put off, however, not just because of his shallowness but also because there was an air of haughtiness in his demeanor that was unsettling. His posture and his body language were louder than his empty words. Obama's speeches are unlike any political speech we have heard in American history. Never a politician in this land had such quasi "religious" impact on so many people.
The fact that Obama is a total incognito with Zero accomplishment, makes this inexplicable infatuation alarming. Obama is not an ordinary man. He is not a genius. In fact he is quite ignorant on most important subjects."
Dr. Sam Vaknin, the author of the Malignant Self Love believes "Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist." Vaknin is a world authority on narcissism. He understands narcissism and describes the inner mind of a narcissist like no other person. When he talks about narcissism everyone listens. Vaknin says that Obama's language, posture and demeanor, and the testimonies of his closest, dearest friends suggest that the man is either a narcissist or he may have narcissistic personality disorder (NPD).
Narcissists project a grandiose but false image of themselves. Jim Jones, the charismatic leader of People's Temple, the man who led over 900 of his followers to cheerfully commit mass suicide and even murder their own children was also a narcissist. David Koresh, Charles Manson, Joseph Koni, Shoko Asahara, Stalin, Saddam, Mao, Kim Jong Ill and Adolph Hitler are a few examples of narcissists of our time. All these men had a tremendous influence over their fanciers. They created a personality cult around themselves and with their blazing speeches elevated their admirers, filled their hearts with enthusiasm and instilled in their minds a new zest for life. They gave them hope! They promised them the moon, but alas, invariably they brought them to their doom.
When you are a victim of a cult of personality, you don't know it until it is too late. One determining factor in the development of NPD is childhood abuse. "Obama's early life was decidedly chaotic and replete with traumatic and mentally bruising dislocations,"says Vaknin. "Mixed-race marriages were even less common then. His parents went through a divorce when he was an infant two years old. Obama saw his father only once again, before he died in a car accident. Then his mother re-married and Obama had to relocate to Indonesia, a foreign land with a radically foreign culture, to be raised by a step-father. At the age of ten, he was whisked off to live with his maternal (white) grandparents. He saw his mother only intermittently in the following few years and then she vanished from his life in 1979. "She died of cancer in 1995."
One must never underestimate the manipulative genius of pathological narcissists. They project such an imposing personality that it overwhelms those around them. Charmed by the charisma of the narcissist, people become like clay in his hands. They cheerfully do his bidding and delight to be at his service. The narcissist shapes the world around himself and reduces others in his own inverted image. He creates a cult of personality. His admirers become his co-dependents. Narcissists have no interest in things that do not help them to reach their personal objective. They are focused on one thing alone and that is power. All other issues are meaningless to them and they do not want to waste their precious time on trivialities. Anything that does not help them is beneath them and does not deserve their attention.
If an issue raised in the Senate does not help Obama in one way or another, he has no interest in it. The "present" vote is a safe vote. No one can criticize him if things go wrong. Those issues are unworthy by their very nature because they are not about him.
Obama's election as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review led to a contract and advance to write a book about race relations. The University of Chicago Law School provided him a lot longer than expected and at the end it evolved into, guess what? His own autobiography! Instead of writing a scholarly paper focusing on race relations, for which he had been paid, Obama could not resist writing about his most sublime self. He entitled the book Dreams from My Father.
Not surprisingly, Adolph Hitler also wrote his own autobiography when he was still a nobody. So did Stalin. For a narcissist no subject is as important as his own self. Why would he waste his precious time and genius writing about insignificant things when he can write about such an august being as himself?
Narcissists are often callous and even ruthless. As the norm, they lack conscience. This is evident from Obama's lack of interest in his own brother who lives on only one dollar per month. A man who lives in luxury, who takes a private jet to vacation in Hawaii, and who raised nearly half a billion dollars for his campaign (something unprecedented in history) has no interest in the plight of his own brother. Why? Because, his brother cannot be used for his ascent to power. A narcissist cares for no one but himself.
This election was like no other in the history of America. The issues were insignificant compared to what is at stake. What can be more dangerous than having a man bereft of conscience, a serial liar, and one who cannot distinguish his fantasies from reality as the leader of the free world?
I hate to sound alarmist, but one is a fool if one is not alarmed. Many politicians are narcissists. They pose no threat to others. They are simply self serving and selfish. Obama evidences symptoms of pathological narcissism, which is different from the run-of-the-mill narcissism of a Richard Nixon or a Bill Clinton for example. To him reality and fantasy are intertwined.
This is a mental health issue, not just a character flaw. Pathological narcissists are dangerous because they look normal and even intelligent. It is this disguise that makes them treacherous. Today the Democrats have placed all their hopes in Obama. But this man could put an end to their party. The great majority of blacks voted for Obama. Only a fool does not know that their support for him is racially driven. This is racism, pure and simple.
The downside of this is that if Obama turns out to be the disaster I predict, he will cause widespread resentment among the whites. The blacks are unlikely to give up their support of their man. Cultic mentality is pernicious and unrelenting. They will dig their heads deeper in the sand and blame Obama's detractors of racism. This will cause a backlash among the whites. The white supremacists will take advantage of the discontent and they will receive widespread support. I predict that in less than four years, racial tensions will increase to levels never seen since the turbulent 1960's.
Obama will set the clock back decades. America is the bastion of freedom. The peace of the world depends on the strength of America, and its weakness translates into the triumph of terrorism and victory of rogue nations. It is no wonder that Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez, the Castrists, the Hezbollah, the Hamas, the lawyers of the Guantanamoterrorists and virtually all sworn enemies of America are so thrilled by the prospect of their man in the White House.
America is on the verge of destruction. There is no insanity greater than electing a pathological narcissist as president.
Xenophobia and racism were rampant in Germany since 1870s. If Hitler did not show up as a candidate by 1920s, Germany would've united around someone else with the same platform. I would submit to you that Clinton is no less of a narcissist, but the country was not ready for a messiah back then.
Today, the question is not about Obama's personality but rather about the personalities of tens of million of Americans that look for a messiah. They voted for him. They continue to support him despite zero recorded accomplishments.
It is the narcissism that permeates our entire culture that is the real phenomenon. That culture was looking for a messiah for quite some time, and only now has found one.
Why not both? He is nuts therefore he wants the destruction of the U.S.
I would love to see someone morph a picture that was half Obama and half Calypso Louie... with a whole bunch of Fruit of Islam bullyboys behind him.
This article is an excerpt from a longer piece actually written by Ali Sina.
The irony is that Obama has been, and will be, so disastrous for the country that he’s probably ruined, for a long time, the chances of another Black becoming President. Even one that, unlike him, is qualified to hold the office.
Obama's early life was decidedly chaotic and replete with traumatic and mentally bruising dislocations... His parents went through a divorce when he was an infant two years old. Obama saw his father only once again... Then his mother re-married and Obama had to relocate to Indonesia, a foreign land with a radically foreign culture... At the age of ten, he was whisked off to live with his maternal (white) grandparents. He saw his mother only intermittently in the following few years and then she vanished from his life in 1979.
Too bad this pithy description of Hussein's warped childhood escaped the American media in 2008.
“The good doctor is spot on.... unless, of course, Obama is really has, as his first priority, the destruction of the U.S.”
True, we do have the diagnosis, but this means little if we do not have the treatment. “Treating” 0bama would not be the same thing as treating a conventional psychiatric patient. Instead of “treating” his condition, we need to think of ways to exacerbate and destabilize zero so that he breaks down and looks ridiculous. He detests taking questions from a credible and discerning media. There must be a few other Achilles heels for the narcissistic Marxist.
Any ideas?
The goal to overthrow the US gov't and turn it into a socialist/communist society is right in line with a Narcissist psychopathy. What could be more alluring than to have an entire nation look to you alone as their leader. At their worst, malignant narcissists are psychopaths who could care less what kind of death and destruction they cause by the means, as long as they get the "end" they desire.
I have read over the years that Hitler was thought to have narcissistic personality disorder, as well as Saddam Hussein.
Both the narcissistic personality disorder & intent to destroy the US can co-exist.
There really is not effective treatment for narcissism—as a personality disorder, it is much too deeply ingrained.
There is an old saying in mental health circles that no narcissist will ever get therapy, but he will drive 4 other people to it.
Some are treated with meds for underlying depression or anxiety but narcissists can’t tolerate the slightest discomfort from any side effects so they aren’t very dependable with that.
Self medication via drugs/alcohol is common, tho.
Insane
Nuts
Possessed?
Somehow this author forgot to mention Bill and Hillary Clinton in this article, I can't imagine how he could do that.
oops, sorry everyone. I didn’t realize how big that last image was.
“Some are treated with meds for underlying depression or anxiety but narcissists can’t tolerate the slightest discomfort from any side effects so they aren’t very dependable with that.

Let’s send zero a bottle of Jack Daniels. Researching zero’s past by digging up his college records would also be embarrassing.
We can never properly treat or cure him. We must therefore neutralize him.
I believe his speech at the Democrat Convention will be as infamous in history as any speech Hitler ever gave. Guys, don’t it just shake you to your core the “god” complex he portrayed in that speech? Talking about sea levels changing and whatnot. Frightening!
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Ridicule Obama at every possible opportunity.
Pass along Obama jokes to your friends, far and wide. Poke fun at him in the comments sections of online articles. Call him demeaning names (as we do here all the time). Encourage this behavior with everyone you meet.
If there's one thing that will cause a narcissistic dictator wannabe like Obama to implode, it's ridicule. Laugh loud and often at his expense.
