Shows how the Illegal's view of himself just doesn't square with the facts of what he clearly doesn't know and doen't understand, including the basic dyanmics of successful human and political relationships.

The title is a reference to the Greco-Roman fable of Narcissus, the beautiful youth who looked upon his reflection in a pool of water and died there of self-love. That is where we derive the term "narcissism" from. The classical source is Ovid's Metamorphoses.

Right! His life style as President, IE having a party in the White House with entertainment from many many great artists almost every night since He came to occupy the White House, multiple vacations, Michelle in her many pair of $700.00 shoes, frequent golf days.

Obama’s total offenses in behavior to Israel's Prime minister ... Insulting him directly.

Wonderful. HIlarious. Appalling. Scary.

It’s troubling that a fellow whose electoral rationale was that he edited the Harvard Law Review and wrote a couple of memoirs was comparing himself to the man who saved the Union. But it tells you all you need to know about what Obama thinks of his political gifts and why he’s unperturbed about having led his party into political disaster in the midterms.

Can there be any doubt that somewhere on the horizon -- somewhere in the distance -- the results of such hubris are going to reveal themselves?

Unfortunately, his devoted ants will never realize he is a lunatic.

Like his wife said on TV

“He ain’t done nuthin’.........”

He will be remembered for being the emetic that, having been introduced into the body politic produced the result of the forced disgorging of the undigestible yet unreachable clump of damaged cells of Corporate Liberalism that had weighted the US down collectively for 100 years.

It took a quack medicine from the travelling circus of Dr.Obama to get that Old Faithful operating again.

There's nothing else he finds interesting or important.

Why wouldn’t Barack Obama be a narcissist?

Everywhere he has gone, white liberal guilt has paved a golden path before him, one on which he has had his benefactors to hold him up lest he stumble.

What happens, however, when there is no one to break his fall?

[freekitty]

He is the opposite of America.

A very, very interesting read about the fat head in chief.

“There are lots of times when you get the sense that Obama views the powers of the presidency as little more than a shadow of his own person.”

He and his followers really do act as if the office of the president is beneath him and he is deigning to ‘help us’ for a little while...

After reading devastating things like this, we can all puff out our chests a bit and say: Us right-wing rubes knew it all along, from the second we first laid eyes on the clown. We weren’t fooled for a moment. You Powell, Noonan, Frum, Buckley, Will, Parker, Brooks types were way to effing stupid to see it. So who are the smart ones, really?

[keepitreal]

Great article. Thanks.

He’s a lazy, vain, empty suit.

...failed so spectacularly?

For instance, a few years ago Obama’s high school basketball coach told ABC News how, as a teenager, Obama always badgered him for more playing time, even though he wasn’t the best player on the team—or even as good as he thought he was. Everyone who has ever played team sports has encountered the kid with an inflated sense of self. That’s common. What’s rare is the kid who feels entitled enough to nag the coach about his minutes.

The Ones got this greater than thou affliction about himself. That's why he's destined to failure and this great article reinforces this premise.

As an aside:I used to bowl with a guy that bowled on 4 leagues and he carried 4 bowling balls in our league...thought he was a pro and had a 135 average???
