Obama ~ Mental Disorder - interesting read

    Israeli doctor says Obama has a mental disorder. Labels him
a

pathological narcissist. No greater insanity than electing one as Dr. Sam

Vaknin is an Israeli psychologist. Interesting view on our 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 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. *

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 Guantanamo terrorists, and virtually all

sworn enemies of America are so thrilled by the prospect of their man in

the White House. *

The two enemies of the people are criminals
and
government, so let us tie the second down with the
chains of the Constitution so the second will not
become the legalized version of the first.
