In the annals of HA, this is one of the more asinine comments.

Schadenfreude on May 24, 2012 at 3:35 PM

But, he only quoted others.

According to Dr. Sam Vaknin.

‘ Narcissist & Chief ‘

Dr. Sam Vaknin is an Israeli psychologist.

Dr. Vaknin has written extensively about narcissism.

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 and nearest suggest that the Senator 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 the! y do not want to waste their precious time on trivialities. Anything that does not help them is beneath them and do 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 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 has 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 is like no other in the history of America. The issues are 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 jus t 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 have also decided to vote 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 Guantanamo terrorists 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.

When you are a victim of a cult of personality, you don’t know it until it is too late.

“To the extent that people are pathologically narcissistic, they can be controlling, blaming, self-absorbed, intolerant of others’ views, unaware of others’ needs and of the effects of their behavior on others, and insistent that others see them as they wish to be seen. ambitious and capable, the inability to tolerate setbacks, disagreements or criticism, along with lack of empathy, make it difficult for such individuals to work cooperatively.”

Perhaps it is time to require each candidate to high office in the USA to submit to a rigorous physical and mental checkup with the results made public.

If the courts intervene, gay marriage opponents will feel cheated and their opposition to the practice will concretize. If the courts stay out of it, more American teens will come onto the rolls over time and the pro-SSM side will likely start winning ballot initiatives. In fact, thanks to O, they may win one easily sooner than expected:

man, you try so hard to promote gay marriage..just keep trying, it won’t change votes..and gay marriage activists don’t care how it’s implemented on a federal level, they just WANT IT DONE BECAUSE IT’S THEIR CIVIL RIGHT!

Obama won’t feel any restraints if he’s re-elected..he will try for a gay marriage amendment in the constitution..he will try for amnesty…he will try for cap and trade again..he will cut more of our nukes..he will DESTROY OUR COUNTRY even more than he already has

Almost as ironic as people voting away their liberty.

Almost, but no quite.

Well, your comment blew.

MadisonConservative on May 24, 2012 at 4:29 PM

It really sucks that you would say that to me.

;-)

That is pretty hard to swallow.

LegendHasIt on May 24, 2012 at 3:44 PM

Not a comment to make regarding gay issues.

Pretend it’s 1972, and replace each instance of “marriage” with “abortion” in that paragraph. Every point you made makes perfect sense that way too. Remember what happened in 1/73?

Akzed on May 24, 2012 at 3:22 PM

It should have been a solid argument for that as well. It should be a solid argument for this issue. State issues, states should decide them for themselves.

Take note Salem…

Wright told Klein that Obama said, ”You know what your problem is. You have to tell the truth.”

In the annals of HA, this is one of the more asinine comments.
Schadenfreude on May 24, 2012 at 3:35 PM

One two few Ses, dude.

;-)

Blacks will tell each other (and pollsters!) that they have Bacracka’s back on this, but in the voting booth they will vote the opposite way.
SouthernGent on May 24, 2012 at 3:19 PM

That is pretty hard to swallow.

Obama, a Federalist? This in the mythical term?

A new Public Policy Polling survey in Maryland finds a significant increase in support for same-sex marriage among African American voters following President Obama’s historic announcement two weeks ago.

How about a poll among all voters in Oklahoma or Nebraska? What about polling African-Americans in Indiana? Quit cherry-picking the polling (often with a very small sample-size) to support the pro-gay position.

In the annals of HA, this is one of the more asinine comments.

A new Public Policy Polling survey in Maryland finds a significant increase in support for same-sex marriage among African American voters following President Obama’s historic announcement two weeks ago. The referendum to keep the state’s new law legalizing same-sex marriage now appears likely to pass by a healthy margin…

If he would’ve grown the .. let’s say courage … to admit his support for gay marriage 4 years ago who knows how much further along gay rights would be? The one issue that actually could’ve benefited from a little hope’n'change, in the middle of a slam-dunk election, and he couldn’t take a stand for what he believes in.

Pain in the butt will be mandated under Obama.

Come on now, we all need to have some skin in the game.

Sick puppies, both of you. I respect that.

swinia sutki on May 24, 2012 at 3:14 PM

you forgot

That he’s the first gay president is just a minor note in the annals of his presidency.

Schadenfreude on May 24, 2012 at 2:46 PM

I see what you did there!

CurtZHP on May 24, 2012 at 2:52 PM

AND

Dude, too many “n”‘s.

swinia sutki on May 24, 2012 at 2:49 PM

When will Obama drop his new cynical charade about being a federalist on gay marriage?

As soon as he finds out how much more money he can shake from the ‘gay tree’.

If the Court asks the DOJ for its opinion on Prop 8 in October, will Obama push the states’ rights line even though it contradicts his DOMA position or will he be consistent? Consistency on this issue could be dangerous with the election so close at hand.

Inconsistency has never seemed to bother him. I doubt committed Obama voters will switch because of this.
