Dr. Ben Carson chimed in on Obama’s state of mind, calling him a psychopath. When questioned later about this statement, the former presidential candidate pulled back on his comment a bit, saying that he “reminds you of a psychopath.”
A world’s leading expert on narcissism, Dr. Sam Vaknin, stated: Obama is a narcissist and may have Narcissistic Personality Disorder Former Obama Aide: The President “Doesn’t Like People”
Dr. Vaknin, author of “Malignant Self Love ,” stated that “Obama’s language, posture, and demeanor and the testimonies of his closest, dearest and nearest suggest that Obama is a narcissist or he may have Narcissistic Personality Disorder.”
Dr. Vaknin writes, a narcissist:
“[Is] firmly convinced that he or she is unique and, being special, can only be understood by, should only be treated by, or associate with, other special or unique, or high-status people (or institutions).
Behaves arrogantly and haughtily. Feels superior, omnipotent, omniscient, invincible, immune, “above the law,” and omnipresent (magical thinking).”
Neera Tanden, former Obama aide, states “People say the reason Obama wouldn’t call Clinton is because he doesn’t like him,” observes Tanden. “The truth is, Obama doesn’t call anyone, and he’s not close to almost anyone. It’s stunning that he’s in politics, because he really doesn’t like people. My analogy is that it’s like becoming Bill Gates without liking computers.”
So here we have a president that continues to ignore the law and states he will govern all by himself (narcissistic traits) and doesn’t call anyone or work with anyone and actually doesn’t like people (anti-social).
Should we have a man in the White House that doesn’t like people…only himself?
The fact that such an individual would be governing a country is unconscionable.
Do we have a misanthrope as president? According to a former aide to Barack Obama, Neera Tanden, the answer may be yes. Her comments were made when discussing the relationship between Obama and Bill Clinton and were reported by New York magazine, which wrote:
“People say the reason Obama wouldn’t call Clinton is because he doesn’t like him,” observes Tanden. “The truth is, Obama doesn’t call anyone, and he’s not close to almost anyone. It’s stunning that he’s in politics, because he really doesn’t like people. My analogy is that it’s like becoming Bill Gates without liking computers.”
I must correct Tanden: It would be stunning that Obama is in politics if liking people — which is, it is rumored, associated with wanting to help them — were the only reason, or even the main one, for entering politics.
Obama Image vs. Obama Reality
Obama may not like others, but that dislike isn’t generally returned. As polls have shown, the president’s “likability” rating has been relatively high. Yet I heard years ago already through the grapevine — via journalist contacts who knew someone who had contact with Obama — that, far from likable, he was arrogant to the point of being dismissive. So what is the reality?
Many people have tried to explain Obama’s behavior during the first presidential debate. Was he disinterested, distracted, or unprepared? Perhaps all or none of the above, but I perceived something else.
Contempt.
Obama didn’t seem happy that he had to deign to debate Mitt Romney. Who is Romney, after all? What does it matter that he’s roughly half of America’s choice for president?
This is reminiscent of the time a few years back when the president didn’t want to meet with a rural congressman and remarked (I’m paraphrasing), “This is the kind of thing I have to put up with.” It also brings to mind a story Thomas Sowell related about Obama’s time in academia:
As Professor Richard Epstein of the University of Chicago Law School has pointed out, Obama made no effort to take part in the marketplace of ideas with other faculty members when he was teaching a law course there.
What would be the point, if he already knew the truth and knew that they were wrong?
True, but we should add: What was the point when those people were clearly beneath him and not even worth his time?
If some think this assessment is a stretch, consider that if you’re “not close to almost anyone,” there’s a reason.
Given this probable lack of love and how Obama was shuffled around from one caretaker to another, it also is likely that he didn’t experience proper attachment in childhood. And here are a few common effects of this problem, as related by Dr. Darvin Smith. Such an individual may:
• Appear “to have confused thought processes”
• Exhibit “poor control; depends on others to provide external control of behavior [Teleprompter?]”
• “May not show guilt when breaking rules or laws [rule by executive decree?]”
• “Project blame on others”
• Experience “problems with logical thinking”
• Seek to keep people at a distance because he does “not trust others.”
Now, we have someone who “doesn’t call anyone,” is “not close to almost anyone,” and “really doesn’t like people” — which is Obama — according to former aide Neera Tanden. On the other hand we have someone “who seeks to keep people at a distance because he does ‘not trust others,’” which is a person who suffered faulty childhood attachment. And we also have someone who will only “associate with … other special or unique … people,” which is a narcissist. Is there any connection here?
But if young Obama received little love, its opposite was a quite different matter. Remember that Obama was marinated in grievance from the time he was a tot. His mother was a radical leftist atheist; and his mentor was Frank Marshall Davis, who actually belonged to the Communist Party USA (membership number 47544). Obama was instilled with hatred for the British and other “colonizers”; with hatred for whites, whose culture he said was “alien”; with hatred for free markets, which, in his former pastor Rev. Wright’s words, are infused with “white man’s greed”; and with hatred of suburbs, which, he was taught, suck prosperity from the inner cities. And he also doesn’t seem to think too highly of rural folks, who he said “cling to … antipathy to those who aren’t like them….”
Did I miss anything? Perhaps. What I know for sure, however, is that it’s a mistake to frame information with little children in a way that causes them to hate a given group; what you do is teach them morality, and then tell them who the (supposed) villains are when they’re older so that no irrational hatred is ingrained. But this clearly wasn’t the understanding of child-rearing animating the leftist radicals who molded the young Obama.
The Résumé and the Reality
Some will say my judgments are rash, that there are too many missing pieces of this puzzle to draw any definitive conclusions. But politicians specialize in missing pieces, as they show us only what they want us to see. So it’s as when judging any job candidate: You can’t read his mind, but what does a preponderance of the evidence tell you? Would you hire a person carrying Obama’s baggage as your babysitter? How about as your doctor? Would you buy a used car from such a person?
What about placing such a man at the helm of our nation?
Barack Obama really doesn’t seem to like people. And that’s a problem because those are precisely the creatures he must govern.

Who is Barack Hussein Obama, the man in the White House? Without a doubt, Obama is the most unvetted, unaccomplished, unqualified person to ever to occupy the Oval Office in American history. Do we even know for sure that Obama mentally stable? Dr. Sam Vaknin, the world’s leading expert on narcissism and the author of “Malignant Self Love ,” has said that “Obama’s language, posture, and demeanor and the testimonies of his closest, dearest and nearest suggest that Obama is a narcissist or he may have Narcissistic Personality Disorder.” Narcissists have a grandiose, inflated, messiah like self image and cannot stand to be criticized. Obama’s Christ like view of himself is very clearly revealed in his Democratic nomination victory speech in St. Paul, Minnesota on June 3, 2008 in which he tells a worshipping audience, “This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.” Clearly, this is a delusional statement. At the end of Barack’s Super Tuesday speech in Chicago on February 5, 2008 Obama makes another ludicrous pronouncement telling his followers “We are the ones that we have been waiting for.” This is narcissistic double speak; in translation what Obama is really saying is, “I am the one the world has been waiting for.”
Why is so much of Obama’s past shrouded in secrecy and why is there such a plethora of unanswered questions about Barack.
NO!
He is Americas #1problem
You learned to be racist at your father’s knees. You didn’t become racist from one man. It’s a learned behavior It’s also called a mental disorder If anyone is insane it’s you haters.we don’t see gangs of racists roaming the streets. They now wear suits and ties. You call him the anti Christ he better step up his game, only less than a yearHe has to create a new world order. Build the temple of Jerusalem and start a war with Israel. If you read the Bible you would know this. Just another lie.
Exactly!
Really? Obama is gone guys. All the excuses are gone too. Both Houses of Congress are now Republican, Supreme Court Republican control for last 8 years, next President Republican guaranteeing a super majority (7 out of 9 Supreme Court Justices, first time in history). No more liberals to blame. How are they going to explain to the American People why Roe vs Wade is not reversed, IRS is not closed, no passage of “flat” tax, & no repeal of Obama Care etc. It will be entertaining. The dog just caught the car.
No.
Are u kidding me.. what is problem with being a narcicist idiot.. stop hating, leave them alone and show some love u cruel bastard.. u have nothing to do?
The irony of this article in light of the Trump “presidency” is just phenomenal.
