> I must confess, I was not 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 a 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 “Malignant Self Love,” also believes, “Barack Obama appears to be
> a narcissist.”

> Vaknin is a world authority on narcissism. He understands it 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, nearest and dearest 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. Charles Manson, Joseph Koni, Shoko Asahara,
Joe Stalin, Saddam, Mao Zedong, Kim Jong IL, and Adolph Hitler are a few
examples of narcissists of our time. All these men had a tremendous
influence over their fanciers and followers. They created a personality cult
around themselves, and with their blazing speeches elevated their admirer’s
souls, filled their hearts with enthusiasm and instilled in their minds a
new zest for life. Those men gave their followers hope! They promised them
the moon, but alas, they invariably 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.

“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. His mother re-married and Obama had to relocate to
Indonesia , a foreign land with a radically foreign culture, to be raised by
a stepfather. He was raised as an only child, full of himself and no others.
He never had to share the spotlight with any siblings. 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.”

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 him and reduces others
in his own inverted image. He creates a cult of personality; his admirers
become his co-dependents.

their personal objectives. 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; he used the “Present” all the time
as a member of the Illinois legislature. No one can criticize him if things
go wrong. Why should he implicate himself in issues that may become
controversial when they don’t help him personally? 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 an advance to write a book about race relations. The
University of Chicago Law School provided him with a fellowship and an
office to work on his book. The book took him a lot longer than expected and
at the end it devolved 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 a
half billion dollars for his campaign (something unprecedented in history)
has no interest in the plight of his own brother. Why? His brother cannot be
used for his ascent to power. A narcissist cares for no one but himself.

dangerous than having a man bereft of a conscience, a serial liar, and one

world?

Many politicians are narcissists. They pose no threat to others. They are
simply self-serving and selfish. [Witness Al Gore’s Income Tax; it reveals
that he gave away NO MONEY to charities, not even to a church!] Obama
evinces symptoms of pathological narcissism, which is different from the
run-of-the-mill narcissism of a Richard Nixon or Bill Clinton, for example.

I don't know Spear....Don't forget that despite having an overwhelming free media advantage, outspending McCain by two to one (after breaking his promise to take only public financing), entertainment industry support, millions of minority voters newly registered, a sitting president with abysmal favorability ratings, and an economic catastrophe that has wiped out 4-5 trillion dollars in value, HE STILL ONLY BEAT McCAIN BY 4-5 POINTS!! 55 million americans didn't buy his crap and I was one of them. This was NOT a landslide. Reagan's victories of 10 and 18 points were landslides. This has to be a huge concern for the libs who were expecting a clear mandate to govern from the left. They did not get it last night.
American was proven last night to be still a center-right country, and it will be difficult for him to live up to his messianic legacy trying to appease the liberals who feel they got him there, and the center right citizens who hold his re-election in their hands. I'm convinced that with the right candidate, the GOP would have overcome all of the above obstacles.
