It took awhile. And it’s way too late, but, damn!
RawStory
A neuroscientist explains: Obama has a mental disorder.
According to a number of top U.S. psychologists, like Harvard professor and researcher Howard Gardener, Barack Obama is a “textbook” narcissist. In fact, he fits the profile so well that clinical psychologist George Simon told Vanity Fair, “He’s so classic that I’m archiving video clips of him to use in workshops.” This puts Obama in the same category as a number of infamous dictators like Muammar Gaddafi, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Saddam Hussein. And although there are narcissists out there who entertain us, innovate, or create great art, when a narcissist is given immense power over people’s lives, they can behave much differently… will they act on the behalf of the will of the people, or would he behave more like a dictator—silencing any dissenting voices, perpetually refusing to compromise, and being oppressive to certain groups?
Just beneath the surface layer of overwhelming arrogance lies a delicate self-esteem that is easily injured by any form of criticism. We have all seen Obama unjustifiably lash out at a number of people with harsh and often extremely odd personal attacks.
When Obama speaks of political adversaries he’s been known to petulantly give them the finger by pretending to wipe his eye. He then holds the middle finger there until he’s sure everyone has picked up on his signal, yet he’ll have plausible deniability.
No other president has ever employed this tactic, because you have to be at least 35 years old, not 14.
To be fair, it is certainly true that all narcissists are not terrible people. Some of our most beloved celebrities and musicians have been suspected narcissists, including Elvis Presley, Marlon Brando, Kanye West, and even Alec Baldwin. Not only are these decent people, some have also done a lot of good through philanthropic work. Surely Barack Obama has more in common with these individuals than he does with a psychopath like Saddam Hussein.
There is no doubt that this has been true of the past, yet there is one critical difference between those people and Obama or Saddam. Only the latter two were in or are pursuing positions as heads of state—a role that grants enormous power over world affairs and people’s lives. While a narcissistic personality might be one of the traits that allowed Obama to write an autobiography before he accomplished anything, it is also the trait that makes him potentially dangerous as a political leader.

Wow.
Should I give you the punch line now?
Of course this wasn’t an article about top psychologists diagnosing Obama. It’s about psychologists warning everyone about……………….. Trump. Ijust switched around a few sentences and replaced Trump with Obama. (I hate to link Raw Story, but you need to see it to believe it.)
These psychologists love what Obama is doing to America. Never mind that half the country thinks Obama, with his dictatorial pen and phone, is horrible. That would only make us ripe for one of their diagnoses, labeling us as mentally ill, as well.

Yep. It’s incredible that even psychologists can’t recognize their own closed minds.
“This puts Obama in the same category as a number of infamous dictators like Muammar Gaddafi, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Saddam Hussen”
And Adolf Hitler.
Sounds like Trump.
Obama: “This whole theory that I’m a narcissist is nothing but a kook right wing conspiracy which I’m willing to disprove with millions of testimonials of people that worship me”
It doesn’t take a PHD to recognize an asshole.
The cure, there will be an Obatomy next January.
Obama has the shrink brainwashed.
Shortly after “The One” was elected, this happened:
Narcissism No Longer a Psychiatric Disorder

Shades of Goldwater!
I figured everyone in mainstream figured it out after he kicked in a door.
Psychologists are crazy! That’s why they become psychologists!
You’re good at this Fur-had me going.
I knew there was something suspicious when I saw “Raw Story” as source. I was looking forward to reading the comments over there, but not after the reveal.
“Blinded by our own ideology” should be their motto.
I suggest everyone read the post before commenting.
Oh they left off solipsistic egomaniac, lying socialist, devoid of compassion or loyalty for Ameruca.
This comment stands, very clearly, for Obama and probably Trump, also, regardless of the ‘professional’ opinions.
always fun to substitute!
whenever i see a story about saving seals, or whales or california delta, i substitute baby.
But unfortunately we will be suffering the after effects for quite a while
show me a muslim that is not insane ?????
Psychology is a mental illness. There is no cure, just treatment..
Just look at Howard Dean for proof positive.
Y’all can’t see The Left working, here?
Anyone with a scintilla of intelligence knew this when he opened his pie-hole and told us that he was the one we were waiting for, and that from this day on, history will say this was the time man rolled the oceans back, and so forth.
Now… they will tell us Trump is a narcissist and will surely be bad for America. The way I look at it – and I have a track record here, because I was right on 0bama (snicker) – we need a narcissist to offset a narcissist. It’s like adding 1 and subtracting 1. Only someone with 0bama’s brass can straighten out all the sh!t he’s caused. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
By the way… why didn’t they write about Bill Clinton’s narcissism and sexual psychosis or about Hitlery’s congenital lying? If you answered, “The muthafuc*ers on The Left are shameless,” you were right.
…or William J. “Slick Willie” Clinton.
Psychiatrists lead the league in suicides, substance abuse and self-destructive behavior. Hell, the ultimate self-destructive behavior has got to be talking to people with real and perceived problems all day.
Isn’t that cheating?
Sorta like looking at the answers to a test, first?
“According to top U.S. psychologists, like Harvard professor and researcher Howard Gardener, Barack Obama is a “textbook” narcissist.
And Professor Gardener is a “textbook” plagiarist and fraud.
Way back in 2009 Dr. Sam Vaknin wrote an article – “Barack Obama: Narcissist or Merely Narcissistic?” – In which he noted Obama’s early childhood chaos – and that his behavior and speech patterns are hallmark of Pathological Narcissism. Vaknin is the author of “Malignant Self-Love: Narcissism Revisited” – recognized as the most comprehensive work on Narcissistic Personality Disorder to date.
Professor Gardener & the “top U.S. psychologists” (progressive elites) denied and derided Vaknin’s expertise and character – and dismissed his observation (He was after all a Jew impeding the progressive Hopytopian order)
Bow the magic kingdom has plodded — and now the awesome genius of U.S. intelligentsia have made a brilliant discovery!
The leader of the free world doesn’t have both oars in the water.
Interesting psychological study in this thread as you can see the posters who read the entire post and used it to further their preconceptions and those who read all of it before commenting…hmm…
Ay, you’re a clever one, Fur.
The Alec Baldwin = decent people line was a dead giveaway. Progtards.
