Anti-Obama

Dr. Vaknin States "I must confess I was impressed by Sen. Barack
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 put off
soon, 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."

Barack Obama is a narcissist.

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 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 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 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.
