Please, show me some conclusive proof that he is a depressive, I believe he is but I cannot prove it, yet.

The thing to remember however, is that Obama isn’t the architect of all this crap, he’s simply one of the vehicles being used by the international left to carry out the plan.

Say it over and over and over again.

The narcissistic Obama is used, just like say the narcissistic Brad Pitt, or the narcissistic Nancy Pelosi, by a cabal who DO know psychologically what they are doing.

It is going to take a powerful lot of honesty on all our parts to defeat it.

About which incidentally I see some, but not nearly prevalence, on FR; or in the Republican Party.

In the last 15 years I’ve worked with three people who fall in this category. The one I’m working with now is such a clear cut case of NPD it is astounding - and quite scary. She’s friggin nuts.

"It's not known what causes narcissistic personality disorder. As with other mental disorders, the cause is likely complex. Some evidence links the cause to a dysfunctional childhood, such as excessive pampering, extremely high expectations, abuse or neglect. Other evidence points to genetics or psychobiology — the connection between the brain and behavior and thinking."
"Narcissistic personality disorder is thought to be uncommon, affecting less than 1 percent of people in the United States. It affects more men than women. Narcissistic personality disorder often begins in early adulthood. Although some adolescents may seem to have traits of narcissism, this may simply be typical of the age and doesn't mean they'll go on to develop narcissistic personality disorder."

Although the cause of narcissistic personality disorder isn't known, researchers continue to learn more about the factors that may increase the risk of developing the condition. These risk factors may include:
An oversensitive temperament as a young child
Overindulgence and overvaluation by parents
Excessive admiration that is never balanced with realistic feedback
Unpredictable or unreliable caregiving from parents
Severe emotional abuse in childhood
Being praised for perceived exceptional looks or talents by adults
Learning manipulative behaviors from parents

Depressive? This is about narcissistic personality disorder.

I’ve read that a major contributing factor is lack of bonding in early childhood. Sorry, I don’t have a link. I don’t remember where I read it. But it makes sense to me. A major component of narcissism is lack of concern for others. Concern for others is learned through bonding.

Yes he does. So when his national poll numbers drop below 40%, his healthcare sham fails to pass, he loses the 2009 political races and is completely frozen with a 2010 Conservative Storm that blocks his progressive policies, how will the manchild react? What type of hissy fit should we expect?

If we remain firm through this process, one major positive is that we could put political correctness away for decades. Still to this day, the bulk of otherwise clear-thinking Americans who won’t hammer Obama are intimidated by political correctness, not wanting to pound on the black President. Our side really needs to push the notion of how our tolerance and virtue has been used against us, that the international left has orchestrated all of this due to the general goodness of the American people, knowing there was room to exploit. Generally, the backlash against such action is aggressive once the violated party recognizes what has happened. I’m praying we react similarly.

“The Kenyan has a “Fuhrer” complex.”

No. Der Fuhrer was a mere mortal. The Illegal Alien, OTOH, believes himself to be the Mahdi, risen from a secret, sacred well somewhere in the Islamic parts of Kenya.

It's not known what causes narcissistic personality disorder. As with other mental disorders, the cause is likely complex.

Here's the money quote for me, as it seems to help reconcile the fact that many people can come from similar circumstances (or even identical) and turn out completely different. This doesn't mean we should inquire about all the factors, but there is likely no magic bullet.

In my experience, the more pronounced the behavior, the more identifiable the cause, however.

From the people I have seen who seem to have this type of problem, they were brought up by parents who gave feedback along the line of making the child think he was special and superior, and the child believed it.

Ditto. I totally agree. There are very few sane Dimocrats.

I would say that it is all part and parcel of manic depression. Proof needed

He was abandoned first by his Dad, then by his Mom, bounced between Hawaii, Kenyan & Chicago. He was forcd to adapt to wildly different cultures, raised by a young single college student, older grandmother and marxist stepfather. Throw communist Frank Davis into the mix, college misfits and twenty years of Reverend Wright hate, and you have a pretty toxic environment.

And you would be wrong. Narcissism, depression and manic depressive disorder are not all the same thing. Cancer, emphysema and diabetes are not all the same thing either. Modern medicine recognizes differences.

Thank you. Your comment is 100% correct. Obama’s a true believer, but he’s merely the messenger of the greater Marxist plan being driven by an international network of despots and control freaks. All that hate American greatness and our U.S. Constitution.

I think he is surrounded by many acolytes of the Mao Clinic!

Someone should hit him in the head with a Red Book, preferrably an unabridged dictionary weighing in at 20+lbs!
