The man is one of the most extreme examples of pathological narcissism in the history of mankind.
In the whole history of mankind?
Maybe laying it on a little too thick?

If you have a substantive response then you can name someone who was more of a narcissist.

He DID mean it as an insult. He said (to paraphrase)...”that’s the way Obama behaves...like he’s morally superior to everyone.”

David Brooks wants to be invited back on that MSM boob tube show, so he qualifies and thus softens his observation with a “Sometimes”, and makes no reference to Marxism, as Obama himself had done in his book.

Hitler, Castro, Saddam, Warren Beatty, Gore Vidal, Ted Bundy, Kanye West ...
I'm not sure about the premise -- the "pathological narcissists" who do the most harm usually have a lot of other serious mental problems -- but Obama isn't the biggest or greatest or most anything.

“Klaatu barada nikto. Do what I say or I’ll reduce your country to a burned-out cinder.” Like that kind of “morally superior civilization?

I see a lot of horsemeat in the one picture for the starving peasants to eat.
Isn’t that what good little Comrades are supposed to do: feed off of lesser Comrades, so they are fat and juicy enough for even larger Comrades to feed upon?

Nope,a *Maoist* Utopia.Re-read your history and you'll see there's a difference.I'm old enough to *remember* Mao. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I have studied Mao thoroughly. But Obama is no communist. Both Hitler and Musolini were communists before they became fascists. If you'd like to spend a few minutes, this is a very good read on the point: http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html I too am old enough to remember Mao, that dates the both of us, LOL.And even worse...I remember Mao's piece of work wife!

The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.

Suffice to say there is absolutely NOTHING ''morally superior'' about this NARCISSISTIC PRICK!!!

Brooks is a fellating coprophilliac. Doesn’t matter what he says. This crap is all irrelevant. Shortly it’s going to be about a few yards and 360.

Its amazing that the public buys ANY opf the imagery they create about Obama.
As you say OBAMA is making hundreds of thousands around the world pay for his narcism through their deaths in Libya, Egypt, Syrai , and Kenya. Obama is a narcistic corpse creator and has destroyed the peace keeping role of our nation around the world.
He has almost acquired enough rope to hang himself.
