Obama - analyzed by an psychologist



 Subject: Psychologist analyzes and writes about our leader


Sam Vaknin is an Israeli psychologist who has written extensively about narcissism.

Dr. Vaknin states:

"I must confess I was impressed by Obama from the first time I saw him. At first I was excited to see a black candidate. He looked youthful, spoke well, appeared to be confident -- a wholesome presidential package. I was put off soon, not just because of his shallowness but also because there was an air of haughtiness in his demeanor that was unsettling.  His posture and his body language were louder than his empty words. Obama's speeches are unlike any political speech we have heard in American history. Never a politician in this land had such quasi "religious" impact on so many people.

"The fact that Obama is a total incognito with Zero accomplishment, makes this inexplicable infatuation alarming. Obama is not an ordinary man. He is not a genius. In fact, he is quite ignorant on most important subjects."

Dr. Sam Vaknin, the author of the "Malignant Self Love", believes "Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist."  Vaknin is a world authority on narcissism. He understands narcissism and describes the inner mind of a narcissist like no other person.  Vaknin says Obama's language, posture and demeanor, and the testimonies of his closest, dearest friends suggest the man is either a narcissist or he may have narcissistic personality disorder (NPD).  Dr. Vaknin writes further:


"Narcissists project a grandiose but false image of themselves.  Jim Jones, the charismatic leader of People's Temple, the man who led over 900 of his followers to cheerfully commit mass suicide and even murder their own children was also a narcissist.  David Koresh, Charles Manson, Joseph Koni, Shoko Asahara, Stalin, Saddam, Mao, Kim Jong Ill and Adolph Hitler are a few examples of narcissists of our time.  All these men had a tremendous influence over their fanciers. They created a personality cult around themselves and with their blazing speeches elevated their admirers, filled their hearts with enthusiasm and instilled in their minds a new zest for life. They gave them hope! They promised them the moon, but alas, invariably they brought them to their doom."

"When you are a victim of a cult of personality, you don't know it until it is too late. One determining factor in the development of NPD is childhood abuse.  "Obama's early life was decidedly chaotic and replete with traumatic and mentally bruising dislocations," says Vaknin.  "Mixed-race marriages were even less common then. His parents went through a divorce when he was an infant two years old.  Obama saw his father only once again, before he died in a car accident. Then his mother re-married and Obama had to relocate to Indonesia, a foreign land with a radically foreign culture, to be raised by a step-father. At the age of ten, he was whisked off to live with his maternal (white) grandparents.  He saw his mother only intermittently in the following few years and then she vanished from his life in 1979.  She died of cancer in 1995."

"One must never underestimate the manipulative genius of pathological narcissists. They project such an imposing personality that it overwhelms those around them. Charmed by the charisma of the narcissist, people become like clay in their hands. They cheerfully do his bidding and delight to be at his service. The narcissist shapes the world around himself and reduces others in his own inverted image. He creates a cult of personality. His admirers become his co-dependents. Narcissists have no interest in things that do not help them to reach their personal objective.  They are focused on one thing alone and that is power.  All other issues are meaningless to them and they do not want to waste their precious time on trivialities. Anything that does not help them is beneath them and does not deserve their attention."

"Obama's election as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review led to a contract and advance to write a book about race relations. The University of Chicago Law School provided him a lot longer than expected and at the end it evolved into, guess what?  His own autobiography! Instead of writing a scholarly paper focusing on race relations, for which he had been paid, Obama could not resist writing about his most sublime self.  He entitled the book, 'Dreams From My Father'.  Not surprisingly, Adolph Hitler also wrote his own autobiography when he was still a nobody. So did Stalin.  For a narcissist no subject is as important as his own self. Why would he waste his precious time and genius writing about insignificant things when he can write about such an august being as himself?"

"Narcissists are often callous and even ruthless . As the norm, they lack conscience. This is evident from Obama's lack of interest in his own brother who lives on only one dollar per month.  A man who lives in luxury, who takes a private jet to vacation in Hawaii, and who raised nearly half a billion dollars for his campaign (something unprecedented in history) has no interest in the plight of his own brother. Why?  Because, his brother cannot be used for his ascent to power.  A narcissist cares for no one but himself."

"This (2012) election is like no other in the history of America.  The issues were insignificant compared to what is at stake. What can be more dangerous than having a man bereft of conscience, a serial liar, and one who cannot distinguish his fantasies from reality as the leader of the free world?

"I hate to sound alarmist, but one is a fool if one is not alarmed. Many politicians are narcissists. They pose no threat to others. They are simply self serving and selfish. Obama evidences symptoms of pathological narcissism, which is different from the run-of-the-mill narcissism of a Richard Nixon or a Bill Clinton for example. To him reality and fantasy are intertwined.  This is a mental health issue, not just a character flaw."

"Pathological narcissists are dangerous because they look normal and even intelligent.  It is this disguise that makes them treacherous. Today the Democrats have placed all their hopes in Obama.  But this man could put an end to their party. The great majority of blacks voted for Obama. Only a fool does not know that their support for him is racially driven. This is racism, pure and simple."

"The downside of this is that if Obama turns out to be the disaster I predict, he will cause widespread resentment among the whites.  The blacks are unlikely to give up their support of their man. Cultic mentality is pernicious and unrelenting. They will dig their heads deeper in the sand and blame Obama's detractors of racism. This will cause a backlash among the whites. The white supremacists will take advantage of the discontent and they will receive widespread support. I predict that in less than four years, racial tensions will increase to levels never seen since the turbulent 1960's."

"Obama will set the clock back decades. America is the bastion of freedom. The peace of the world depends on the strength of America, and its weakness translates into the triumph of terrorism and victory of rogue nations.  It is no wonder that Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez, the Castroists, the Hezbollah, the Hamas, the lawyers of the Guantanamo terrorists, and virtually all sworn enemies of America are so thrilled by the prospect of their man in the White House."

"America is on the verge of destruction. There is no insanity greater than electing a pathological narcissist as President."

I am NOT a fan of Obama - however, I am sick to death of these "professionals" who analyze people from afar.

My 81 year old father went in to the hospital for some testing recently. A doctor who had never even met my father, looked at the test results and prescribed a medication. My dad had never been on any medication and this was the first time in 30 years that my dad had even been to a doctor!!

I am highly skeptical of any doctor who would offer a professional opinion about someone based on paperwork without ever having spent any time with the patient. It is immoral at best, destructive at worst.

Whether or not Obama is a narcisist, in the end, really matters not to me. What is more important is that what he is doing is illegal.

Enough with the doctors' opinions. The man needs to be arrested.

You may not be interested in tribalism, but tribalism is interested in you.

ignores the Constitution. He's gotta go.

From SNOPES>COM:

Origins: Dr. Sam Vaknin is a real person, he has written a good deal about the subject of narcissism (including the book Malignant Self Love: Narcissism Revisited), and he did pen an article in which he opined that "Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist." However, the article reproduced above, although it references Dr. Vaknin's writings and includes a header suggesting he is its author, is an excerpt from a 22 September 2008 article written by Ali Sina.

Dr. Vaknin is careful to include a disclaimer on his web site stating that he is "NOT a mental health professional" (his CV lists a doctorate in philosophy from the unaccredited Pacific Western University), and he notes in his introduction to the article cited in the preceding paragraph that "only a qualified mental health diagnostician can determine whether someone suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and this, following lengthy tests and personal interviews."

It is a good idea to write to Nobama's website directly & let him know what kind of a cook he is. We are on to him & his vile, evil deeds. He is
a egomaniac in my eyes. I also read from witnesses that he was on Mars in
early 1980's once, so he is clearly a product of the CIA & darpa. His mother worked for the CIA's banks for half her life. He destroyed the con
stitution of the USA & raises holy hell worldwide. He got to go & even hell is too good for him to end up. Same goes for the Bushes, all of them

It's hilarious that this person says "The fact that Obama is a total incognito with Zero accomplishment, makes this inexplicable infatuation alarming." This "doctor" doesn't consider graduating from Harvard law school, winning a Senate seat, or winning a Presidential election to be accomplishments. In fact, he considers himself to be far superior to the President, who is "quite ignorant on most important subjects." Oh my, the good Doctor is exhibiting symptoms of narcissism.
