Excellent article! I had never thought about the Obama/Khomeni comparison.

Great post! I remember reading an article,I believe in Newsweek,about Jonestown when it happened. On the cover was a quote from Cicero,I believe,that went something like:
There is nothing man strives so hard for,as to give up his own freedom.
Says a lot!

I have started the petition, below linked to this article. I ask everyone to demand that all presidential and vice-presidential candidates in this election submit to mental health examinations prior to Election Day. Please sign the petition and ask others to do the same.

We can't even get Obama to show us his original birth certificate. What makes the author think he could be "forced" to undergo pyschiatric evaluation?

Certainly has the charismatic anointing, doesn’t he? Have you see the look in his eye when he has had enough of persistent questions from the MSM? He does not like his former lover holding him accountable.

Pathological narcissism is a reaction to prolonged abuse and trauma in early childhood or early adolescence. ...

There's no doubt much truth in this, but I don't think it's the whole picture. I'm sure many people have suffered similar misfortunes without becoming the monster he describes.

It's been suggested that there's some organic morbidity behind this--perhaps genetic, perhaps from infection. Is there anything in 0's history along these lines?

Are all ruthlessly ambitious people narcissists? Of course there were good ones, whose preeminence seemed to arise from some moral or political crusade--something remarkably absent in 0--unless you consider a sense of racial or royal entitlement. What was his history again? What legends and myths of his lineage were told to him? Having a head filled with such notions is dangerous, but is it narcissism?

I loathe 0. But I wonder if this quasi Freudian tack is going to be very constructive. At the very least it's a double edged sword.

Best stick to policies for the time being, I think.

Then again there's Rahm Emmanuel.

These are just questions, mind.

I see his physical presentation as quite reminiscent of Benito Mussolini. This is one scary NPD.

” Narcissistic leaders are nefarious and their effects pernicious.
They are subtle, refined, socially-adept, manipulative, possessed of thespian skills, and convincing.
Both types equally lack empathy and are ruthless and relentless or driven.
Perhaps it is time to require each candidate to high office in the USA to submit to a rigorous physical and mental checkup with the results made public.”

53% of voting Americans have elected a guy with zero work history and experience,
a history of cocaine use, a sealed birth certificate,
sketchy past and associates
with a very high likelihood that he suffers from a personality disorder.

Michelle on Barry via Time Magazine http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1835686,00.html

“In his second book, The Audacity of Hope, Obama talks about Michelle’s rage at his ever increasing absence:
“My wife’s anger toward me seemed barely contained.
‘You only think about yourself,’

“Old friends paint portrait of Obama as young man “
Honolulu Advertiser , May 18, 2008

A former non Muslim , non Pakistani college classmate on Barry :

“But another former Oxy ( Occidental College ) classmate, Robert McCrary, now general manager of a contract sewing company,
saw him differently:
“He definitely had a cocky, sometimes arrogant way about him. ...
He was not open to others.”

We all need to understand as much as possible about 0bama and what makes him tick.

I am not suggesting he be attacked with any of this, just file it away and review it to understand his motives.

That photo speaks volumes.

If you want to understand his mind, think in terms of him wanting to be the leader of a totalitarian govt. It is that simple.

I hate Obama and his followers more and more every day. My 10 year old son came home all bummed out one day last week. I asked him why and he said that he was upset by a book his teacher was reading in class titled “Among The Hidden” about a futuristic American government where families were only allowed two children (similar to communist China) and there were these children called “shadow children” that people hid when they went over the limit but didn’t want to have an abortion or whatever (I am not sure how the book said they tried to control the population exactly)...My son asked his teacher what kind of an mean, horrible President could do something like that and she snapped at him “I don’t know! Probably George Bush or somebody related to him.” He told her he didn’t like it when she talked like that and she said “So what?” He said he sulked all day. I was FURIOUS FURIOUS FURIOUS but since it was “he said, she said” I didn’t call the school and my husband thinks we should let it go or our son will suffer for it, not the teacher. I had a long talk with my son and tried to explain that republicans were the party for Life and that the teacher had it backwards. I also had the lovely task of trying to explain abortion to my son without scaring the $#*! out of him...not easy.
