Israeli Psychologist On Obama
Be sure to read all the way to
the end. He is for real.
Dr. Sam Vaknin is an Israeli psychologist..
Interesting view on our new president.
Dr. Vaknin has written extensively about
narcissism.
Dr.
Vaknin states "I must confess I was
impressed by Sen.Barack 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."
Barack Obama is a narcissist.
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. When he talks about narcissism everyone
listens. Vaknin says that Obama's language,
posture and demeanor, and the testimonies of his
closest and dearest suggest that the Senator is either a
narcissist or he may have narcissistic personality
disorder (NPD).
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 his 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 do
not deserve their attention.
If an issue raised in the Senate does not help Obama in
one way or another, he has no interest in it.
The "present" vote is a safe vote.
No one can criticize him if things go wrong..
Those issues are unworthy by their very nature because
they are not about him.
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 has 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 election is like no other in the history of
America. The issues are 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 have
also decided to vote 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 Castrists, 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
