This Israeli doctor says
Obama has a mental disorder. Labels him a pathological narcissist
and there is no greater insanity than electing one as President
said Dr. Sam Vaknin who is an Israeli
psychologist.
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. 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.
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 codependents.
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. America is on the verge
of destruction.
There is no insanity
greater than electing a pathological narcissist as
president.
