Obama the narcissist? And if so, what price will Democrats pay?

Wow. I admit to reading World Net Daily, but usually do not source them in my blogging. And while I generally agree for the most part in the socio-political philosophy of the site, it sometimes slants in a more harsh manner than I am comfotable with. In the current climate, however, it is a useful tool for an attempt at counterweighting against the obviously more vicious than what’s on the dem-left side.

Still, today’s post does address what should have been a story. American knew nothing of this man and little was asked by a MSM that’s been a PR wing for the Democrat Party for decades now. Any inquiry into the President’s past were trivialized, demonized or squashed outright.

While the hero worship by some in the MSM continues – he was actually asked by a NYT reporter during a presser what enthralled him now about the presidency – his action’s are now completely public, and he can no longer live behind spin. It’s likely to be catching up with him. Hence today’s WND column.


.

Though inexperienced and arguably unqualified for the presidency, he mesmerized the entire establishment press and more than half of voters, many regarding him nothing short of a political messiah. Though he can barely speak publicly without a teleprompter, he’s praised as a transcendent communicator. Though his voting record is extreme left, he portrays himself as a pragmatic centrist.

But beyond Obama’s political ideology, many Americans are troubled also by his strange personality attributes: He greatly exaggerates his achievements, expects constant praise and admiration, believes he’s special, doesn’t appear to concern himself with other people’s feelings, expresses disdain for those he feels are inferior, sets unrealistic goals, appears as tough-minded and unemotional, and other qualities – all of which are textbook symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder

If there is a parallel, one only need to take a brief look back at the constant character assasinations of President Bush advanced by Democrarts and their media flacks. Narcissism cuts deep though and is applied differently than any other perceived failing of Bush. Listen to what these observers say:

Indeed, the word “narcissist” is increasingly being applied to America’s 44th president. Pulitzer prize-winning columnist and former psychiatrist Charles Krauthammer asks, “Does the narcissism of this man know no bounds?” Jack Kelly, journalist and former high-ranking Reagan administration Pentagon official, says: “The most dangerous thing about having a narcissist in a position of power is his unwillingness – perhaps his inability – to ever admit error. … Obama acknowledged the troop surge in Iraq has produced dramatic improvements, but said he still would oppose it.” Radio giant Rush Limbaugh said of Obama recently: “He’s supremely narcissistic … This is all about him. This has nothing to do with the country. It has nothing to do with our way of life. Every aspect of his presidency is about building him up, making him appear to be savior, messiah …”

While the quote is easily cast aside by democrats with Limbaugh’s inclusion, Kelly and Kraughthammer are seasoned respected journalists. With Obama’s term providing nothing that coincides with his hope and change mantra and his actions only providing fuel for partisanship, a crisis will test a narcissist. The conditions are perfect for an over reach one way or the other that potentially crush his presidency and harm the nation.

Americans of any persuassion do not want this to happen. Even though Democrats seemed to be rooting against the American armed services in Iraq, Republicans will not doing anything similar. So if Obama fails a test that comes from overseas by over reaching it will give support to the label.

And what blame will American put on the Democrat Party at that point as it was they whom anointed him, enabled him and kept his failings behind the curtain? Will the democrat’s MSM pay a price? Or will they throw him overboard?

We must wait and hope none of this comes to pass. Heaven help us if it does.

Snowe whinning to NYT about GOP criticism to her vote for Obama stimulus

I would imagine that the she’s taken some heat that she was not expecting hence the self absorbed lament to the NYT. Specter’s decision had nothing to do with ideology and everything to do with his political hide.

The dangerous fascism of Obama, his brownshirts of ACORN and its allies at the NY Times

You’ll not get MSM coverage of this story, especially if the NYT squashes it.

More from Gateway Pundit and Flopping Aces

The NY Times stopped being accepted as a real newspaper years ago and their editors have assumed the status of Dem hacks. But when they start running interference for a fascist organization like ACORN who’s voter fraud efforts are documented, they become complicit in illegal activities. It will be interesting to find out the name or names of the editors at the paper whom killed Stephanie Strom’s story.

Issues involving ACORN must be taken in a context that includes the its close relationship with the President. But also now that as ACORN has demonstrated at the very least to be a partisan political action committee of operatives, its upcoming role in census taking next year must be ended.

Republicans on the Hill will have to hault this dangerous continuation of fascism that the President and his party are advancing. Hopefully Rep. Lynn Westmoreland of Georgia - the vice ranking member of the subcommitee that oversees the U.S. Census will provide the leadership necessary.
