What I suspect is that the president is probably a clinical narcissist. This is not necessarily a bad condition if one maintains for oneself what the psychiatrists call an "optimal margin of illusion," that is, the margin of hope that allows you to work. But what if his narcissism blinds him to the issues and problems in the world and the inveterate foes of the nation that are not susceptible to his charms?

We are in serious trouble because obama does appear to believe his own press releases. He seems to actually believe people, including hostile foreign powers, will do what he wants ... well, I don't know why he would think that. North Korea, Iran, China, et al certainly are going their own way, acting in their own best interests, obama's desires be hanged.

obama's narcissism leaks out even in his speeches (which are many) and his use of the phrase "let me" which I see as a very controlling phrase. He really wants everyone to let him run their lives. Most of us see it only as his trying to ruin our lives.

I just loved the caller into War Room this morning who suggested a theme song for Pres. BO updates: Toby Keith's "I Wanna Talk About Me"...only the lyrics need a very slight adjustment. The Keith song is about the flip side: his girl is a narcissist, who only wants to talk about herself. But the chorus is perfect for BO with a little adjustment:

I wanna talk about me,
Wanna talk about I,
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my me my,
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see.
I like talking about you you you you - when I have to - but usually,
I wanna talk about meeeeee (me,me,me,me-background singers)
I wanna talk about me (me,me-background singers)

Why wouldn't he, he's surrounded by yes men, and women.
