He is the dictator in the bunker living in a fantasy world. Just like Hitler, Eric Honecker, Gorbachev and Saddam, Obama has become politically delusional.

A wise politician would have changed course a long time ago. A chastened politician would call it day for the good of his party. This is where ideologues end up when things go south. The occupy whatever movement is his call to the “Obamajugend” to fight the advancing Red Army to the bitter end.

A very fine description of a narcissistic personality.

What took these morons so long to see it?

SOME people have been calling the guy a narcissist since about 2005.

The king is mad, for what else is there but to call him mad?

We all knew this before he got elected...but the MSM and all of the guilty white folk thought they’d show how magnanimous they could be by voting for Mr. Obama.

How silly. Sure that’s a reason to vote for someone, but it’s not a good reason. Voting can sometimes be an emotional moment, and this was the case in 2008.

If Mr. Obama had spent the past three years sleeping, the nation would be in far better shape.

He made a bad situation worse. The president does not know what to do, except lean on all of those baloney-laden thoughts that have been crammed into his mind, right next to that chip on his shoulder.

Let’s hope 2012 will be different.

The Rupert Pupkin of politics.

It’s a damned shame someone elected him president of the United States.

Can’t somebody just hold this poppinjay’s Barak Hussein Obama (D-Goldman-Sachs) head in the toilet until he relents?

Can’t somebody slap some sense into him?

Just take the freakin Emergency Brake off the economy!

Gather your forces Barry and repeal ObamaCare yourself! Now!

One veteran Democratic campaign operative put it more bluntly when asked to assess Obama’s approach: “He just hates politics and politicians.”

Imagine his quandary when he realized he is one himself.

He talks mostly, and sometimes only, to friend and adviser Valerie Jarrett...

I wonder what Mrs. Obama thinks of THAT situation...

Heck, if he’s spent so much time focusing on getting the policies right, why are things so bad?

Because his policy is to make things bad.

As many here, including myself, have pointed out many times, The Won wants to destroy this country.

She’s probably quite happy with that ... gives her more time to go on vacation.

Kind of like the Michael Jackson of politics. Just needs a little bleach.

A very fine description of a narcissistic personality.

I highly recommend reading the original post and following discussion at Wretchard's 'Belmont Club' site at the link.

That said, I find these constant PC references to Obama as merely a narcissist to be a bit tiresome - he's a stone-cold psychopath, but that's not acceptable to say in 'polite' discussion, of course.

Gee, whatdya know. Nominate a malignant narcissist for President, get your captive media to pump the living daylights out of him, ignore countless warning signs, and shazaaym! He's a cipher! He hates us! He's uninterested in everyday human beings, except on an abstract plane!

What a pack of fools. Put John McCain right in the front row.

You'll get very little argument from me. It's a pretty short jump from 'mere' narcissism (whatever THAT is) to psychoses.

PS - I highly recommend you read my posting history before accusing me of being politically correct.

Please allow me to offer the following minor correction: "Hey, I have an idea. Let's give total power over our lives to a few hundred of the most stupid and mentally ill people in the country."

I hope I have not altered the original intent of your comment.

That one sentence just says it all. Excellent writing.

He was a lecturer in a law school, that was his only other real job in his life. He is accustomed to standing before people and speaking while they listen respectfully. That is what he is good at, that is what he is accustomed to, and that is what he was built for. It’s as simple as that.

...the stimulus didn’t work. That Green Jobs didn’t work. That ObamaCare didn’t work. And that probably the jobs program won’t work.

They were never intended to 'work.' It's the elephant in the living room that few pundits will admit or confront. Because if they do...
