Does Obama have NPD?
World Net Daily ^ | September 30, 2008 | Ali Sina

The 2008 presidential election in America is the most crucial election in this country's history, not because the issues are that critical but because of Sen. Barack Obama. The Democratic presidential candidate's language, posture and demeanor suggest that he may suffer from narcissistic personality disorder, or NPD. NPD is a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration and a lack of empathy. The following are some of the symptoms of NPD that can be seen in Sen. Obama:

He subtly misrepresents facts, opportunistically shifts positions, ignores data that conflict with his fantasy world, is overly confident and acts presidential despite commensurate merits and his modest life achievements, considers himself above the law, talks about himself in the third person, has a messianic vision of himself and his "mission," displays false modesty while often evincing haughtiness, sublimates aggression, holds grudges and behaves as an eternal adolescent. These are narcissistic traits as seen in Sen. Obama by Dr. Sam Vaknin. The author of "The Malignant Self Love," Vaknin states, "Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist."

NPD is the prime disorder experienced by all the madmen of history – from Hitler to Stalin, Mao, Kim, Pol Pot, Osama, Khomeini, Saddam and Idi Amin. These men wreaked havoc and killed millions. They looked normal. Few suspected their insanity until it was too late.

Obama shares something else with these infamous narcissists: a chaotic childhood. One determining factor in the development of NPD is childhood abuse, such as the neglecting of his or her emotional needs.

...you COULD call it that.

You could call it a messianic or Napoleonic complex also.

Yes, of course he does.

What’s amusing is the extent to which the enlightened, left-wing, post-religious class treat him as their personal savior, while referring to their opponents as “Nazis.”

Actually, many successful movie actors, politicians, doctors, celebrities in general have Narcissistic personality features. So, in that regard, Obama is not unusual.

The article's author is advocating mental examination of all candidates. Obama IS unfit to be president, but a psych eval of McCain would be problematic. In my Service dealings with former POWs, I found they came in two basic types: super-nice guys or @$$holes. McCain may be in the latter category...still better than Big Chief Flapping Ears...but still an angry human being.

I watched some of 0bama speech today. He looked angry and was screaming at the people at his rally. I wonder when he’ll explode :)

Yes, he’s a nose-in-the-air personality. One of the first things I noticed about him was that he most always has his nose tilted upwards, a snooty and pompous elitist, not to mention a general lightweight and poser.

NPD describes every Democrat Presidential candidate since 1992.

I believe this is what Rudy meant at the Convention,when he said that we don’t need a President who seems to be on a personal journey of discovery,or words to that effect.

I think Sam Vaknin may have made the same observation about Bill Clinton back in the 1990s, but I haven't been able to find out exactly where.

Obama, like a lot of politicians, probably is a narcissist. It would be hard to find a politician who wasn't. Even some of the ones I've voted for had trouble in their relationships. Is Obama really a pathological narcissist, though?

A lot of people make the jump from not voting for a candidate to seeing him as the next Hitler. But not every narcissist is a potential Hitler, and Hitler was able to do what he did because of the circumstances of his day, and those circumstances may not exist now.
