Obama's Narcissism a Threat to National Security
Radix News ^ | September 30, 2014 | David Limbaugh

Posted on 09/29/2014 9:09:24 PM PDT by Abakumov

We mention President Obama’s narcissism not as an exercise in name-calling but because it continues to be relevant to how he conducts himself in office, and it’s not pretty.

This undeniable character trait was on full display in his interview with Steve Kroft of “60 Minutes,” in the sense that he simply cannot entertain the possibility, much less — infinitely less — admit the possibility that he has made a mistake or exercised poor judgment.

If anything remotely positive happens on his watch, he presumes to take full credit for it — way more than the normal opportunistic politician. With the killing of Osama bin Laden, for example, Obama boasts as if the raid were his initial idea and he delivered the kill shot.

He needs to stop inflaming Muslim sentiments by accusing them of not being “real Muslims”.

I just saw a few moments of Kroft and Barry’s talk on Meg’s show. Did anyone else notice all of the green in the room? isn’t green some muzzie color that they like? If I remember right when Hillary wore her green pantsuit when she spoke about Benghazi, (The “What difference does it make crap thing), It was commented on that green angle also? Or is my old brain making something out of nothing? I had not noticed the green before. (I have the other white hut rooms dressed up with the eastern style gold/white/red colors during speeches.)

We need to pray and fast that God will remove this administration from office before year’s end - or that our president would truly repent and humble himself before the Lord and seek His guidance and allow God to change his heart. Otherwise our nation is lost forever.

Not just national security but our health as well, or did some one leave this out?

Isn’t green the favorite color of the religion of peace and understanding?

His narcissism compounded by federal apathy. At least two federal agencies in charge of national security and security of that office did not vet him as being fit for holding office. They gave him a pass. Every POTUS from Washington through GW Bush we pretty much knew the presidents life histories. His is full of contradictions, several identity changes including foreign national student, and hardly no one in college remembers him.

You let Joe Public go get a security clearance to work in secure facilities or the military nuclear surety program and Uncle is gonna know your skivvy size and the names of your grade school teachers.

His so called bio has never passed the smell test. If he in any way was/is unfit for office it is their duty to reveal it preferably before elections are held. His past should have disqualified him. The same with John Kerry. He should have not been cleared to be Sec of State. Yes those in high positions should be required to pass a strict background check.

I just want him to take his magic prayer rug and go join ISIS in a fighter capacity. At least then we know where he really stands.

I've been worried about this since he was elected in 2008.

As he gets more and more exposed for who he is and starts to feel cornered, the pent up narcissistic rage will come out at America. Actually, I've always thought his apology tours and 'knocking America down a notch' were manifestations of his chronic narcissistic rage. God only knows what his childhood psychoanalytic psychodynamics are. He certainly has a chaotic childhood and adolescent history.

He knows Obamacare is the 'keystone in the arch of socialism.' . Lenin: "Would socialized medicine lead to socialization of other phases of life? Lenin thought so. He declared socialized medicine is the keystone to the arch of the socialist state." Obama knows this is the key to destroying our country. . that and gun control.

Hitler was so narcissistically damaged he had Germany destroyed before he destroyed himself. What will our fate be as the various Obama lies are exposed, scandals investigated and his political ship sinks?

As the world and our country descend into chaos, it's as if he's saying, "But,. . . but. . you don't understand, I'm Obama and it shouldn't be happening this way. . . "

David Limbaugh's money quote from the article:

"Obama’s narcissism is a clear and present danger to the security interests of the United States for a host of reasons. He refuses to accept accountability for his decisions or failed policies and thus won’t change course when reality proves him wrong. He won’t realistically assess threats when they contradict his worldview-driven perceptions. And he won’t take action if by doing so he would be tacitly admitting he was wrong before."

Well said. . and scary indeed. .

Obama’s narcissism is merely annoying. It is his beliefs and his goals that are threats to national security.

OBAMA is a threat to national security.

Let’s hope the nation can somehow survive the next two years, until an adult can occupy the White House.

A “Real President” would give credit for any successes (if there were some) to the folks who made it happen and would take personal responsibility for any failures (in odumbo’s case MANY) experienced on his “watch”. Not odumbo, he does just the opposite. He is quick to point both fingers away from himself when things go wrong. He is no “REAL” president but president in name only.
