This one just does not feel right. There is something wrong this time. i don't want to blame the president but people are hanging on to his word like Jim Jones and David Koresh. In you see what happen to there follower (Sheep)
Holy cow, Hot40rod, did you hit the nail on the head.
Read this or at least the last sentence.
Sorry about the long post folks, but this stuff is important.
**Samuel Vaknin, Ph.D. Dr. Vaknin has written extensively about
narcissism.**
*
** 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 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
they 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 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
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.***
