Drunken actress reveals narcissism of Hollywood

For your Friday amusement….

Having a grandiose overblown view of oneself, and expecting special treatment are both traits of the Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Alcohol lowers a person’s inhibitions. That is why when one is inebriated, often the truth comes tumbling out. That’s what happened on April 19, 2013, in Atlanta, Georgia, when police stopped a car that was weaving and swerving, and arrested actress Reese Witherspoon for drunken disorderliness and her husband, Jim Toth, for DUI. These dashboard cam videos recording the incident are a glimpse into the narcissistic grandiosity of too many in the entertainment industry.

In the first video, while Georgia State Trooper First Class J. Pyland is gives Toth a sobriety test, Witherspoon keeps getting out of her car. Trooper Pyland tells her no fewer than five times to stay in the couple’s vehicle. But Witherspoon claims she needs to get out to urinate because she’s pregnant. That was a lie because she later confessed on “GMA” that she had panicked and said “crazy things” because her husband was being arrested. “I even told him I was pregnant. I am not pregnant!”

Despite the trooper’s commands, Witherspoon gets out of the car and begins arguing with the officer who promptly arrests her. This is when Witherspoon goes into a narcissistic rage: “”Do you know my name sir? OK, you’re about to find out who I am! I’m a U.S. citizen… I’m allowed to stand on American ground and ask any question I want to ask. You’re harassing me as an American citizen. You better not arrest me.

The next day, a sobered-up Witherspoon did apologize profusely. But was that the real Reese Witherspoon speaking? Or is the real Reese Witherspoon unmasked in those dashcam videos?

On May 2, Toth plead guilty and was ordered to complete 40 hours of community service, an alcohol education program, and one year of probation; Witherspoon plead no contest and was fined $213.

Witherspoon‘s parents are both highly educated: her father is an ear-nose-throat specialist; her mother is a professor of nursing. Their daughter, however, seems to have a penchant for playing fast-and-loose with the truth.

She claims descent from Scottish-born John Witherspoon, who signed the United States Declaration of Independence, but her claim has been disproved by the Society of the Descendants of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence genealogists. Born in New Orleans, Witherspoon says she is proud of her Southern upbringing because it taught her about “being conscientious about people’s feelings, being polite, being responsible and never taking for granted what you have in your life.”

According to US Weekly, Witherspoon is a registered Democrat and has donated money to Obama’s campaign. She revealed that she and her How Do You Know? costar Paul Rudd were star struck during a White House visit. “Obama came out and he turned to Paul and said, ‘I loved you in I Love You Man.’ I grabbed Paul and was like, ‘Are you freaking out right now?’ He’s like, ‘I’m freaking out!’” Witherspoon recalled. [Gag! Barf! Gag!]

Why do actors, who make a living playing dress-up and pretending to be people they’re not, get it in their heads that what they do are of earthshaking importance and that they are Very Important People?

You’re a racist if you say Michelle has a big butt

The Emperor’s New Clothes is a short story by Hans Christian Andersen published in 1837. It is a story about vanity, servility, and the courage to speak the truth.

A vain Emperor who cares for nothing except wearing and displaying clothes, hires two deceiving tailors who promise him the finest, best suit of clothes made from a special fabric invisible to anyone who is unfit for his position or “hopelessly stupid”. The two swindlers “finished” the suit and mime putting it on the Emperor. The Emperor and his ministers cannot see the clothing themselves, but pretend that they can for fear of appearing stupid or unfit for their positions. The Emperor, in his new “suit,” marches through the town before his subjects. The townsfolk all play along with the pretense. Except a child in the crowd who hasn’t yet been corrupted and blurts out the truth: “The Emperor is wearing no clothes!”

Today, that innocent child would be called a racist.

Take a look at these pics of FLPOS Moochie. The photos have not been photoshopped or what the White House delicately calls “manipulated.”

At the Kids’ Choice Award, March 31, 2012

You would have to be blind to not notice that Mooch has a big (polite word for “fat”) butt.

How dare you!!!!

If you notice or say or write that the FLPOS has a big fat butt, you’re a RAAAAACIST!

Krissah Thompson writes oh-so-piously for The Washington Post, February 4, 2013, that “They’re at it again.” By “they,” Thompson means anyone who points out the FLPOS has a big posterior.

People like conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh who “has repeatedly called her Michelle “My Butt” Obama. And Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner, the Wisconsin Republican, issued an apology after he was caught commenting on her ‘large posterior.’”

People like Alabama high school football coach Bob Grisham, who called the first lady “Fat butt Michelle Obama,” when he ranted against fat butt’s promotion of low-calorie school lunches as the federal government meddling in local business. Alas, Grisham was surreptitiously recorded by one of his students, saying “Look at her. She looks like she weighs 185 or 190. She’s overweight.”

Although Grisham apologized for having misspoken, he was suspended on Feb. 4, 2013.Thompson of Washington Post then trots out a whole retinue of “experts” to lecture to us:

• Ayana Byrd, the co-editor of the anthology Naked: Black Women Bare All About Their Skin, Hair, Hips, Lips and Other Part, says: “We have a history in this country of white people not showing adequate respect for and devaluing the bodies of black women, and this most definitely falls in line with that.”

• The focus on this first lady’s posterior has historical antecedents. It reaches back to the imagery of Hottentot Venus, a woman from what is now South Africa whose naked body and pronounced posterior were paraded in shows throughout 19th-century Europe. On to the selling and trading of black women’s bodies through slavery. In modern times, black women’s figures continue to be up for public discussion in ways that are celebratory (see: “Brick House” by The Commodores) and insulting (see above).

• Andra Gillespie, an associate professor of political science at Emory University, says the first lady’s critics “are using it as a code to racialize Michelle Obama and remind people that she’s black. It is unreasonable to expect a nearly 50-year-old woman to have the body of a 25-year-old. She looks great for her age.”

You see, we can’t win, no matter what we do.

In 2008, the Left triumphantly declared Obama to be America’s “first black president!” But if you so much as say what your eyes tell you — that Michelle Obama has a big butt — you are “racializing” the first lady, “reminding people that she’s black”!

The only acceptable thing to do is to heap praises on the POS and the FLPOS and anyone who is black — all the time, with no exception or pause.

Did you know that “Expecting constant praise and admiration” and being hypersensitive to any perceived criticism are among the defining attributes of the Narcissistic Personality Disorder?

Obama told Hawaii classmates he’s Kenyan/Indonesian royalty

Not only is the POS a liar from the beginning, he also is delusional.

From ages 6 to 10, young Barry Soetoro Obama lived in Jakarta, Indonesia, with his mother and step-dad Lolo Soetoro. In 1971, mom sent him back to Hawaii to live with her parents, Madelyn and Stanley Dunham, in Honolulu.

Madelyn was the vice president of a bank. Stanley not only got his Kansas pal, Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis, to mentor his grandson, Stanley also used his connections to finagle an admission for his grandson into the exclusive private Punahou School, one of the most expensive schools in Honolulu. There, B.S. Obama studied for 8 years, from ages 10 to 18, until he graduated from high school in 1979.

Since the 2008 presidential campaign, one of the many curiosities about Obama is that so few people have come forth, claiming they had known him. As an example, despite Obama being touted for his brilliant intellect and interpersonal charm, there is not a single fellow student or faculty member who’s said they knew Obama in the two years he was at Columbia University.

Now, however, a woman has stepped forward, saying that she was a classmate of Obama’s in Punahou School.

Kristin Caldwell

In a PBS Frontline interview conducted on June 27, 2012, Kristine Caldwell (who now lives in California) said she grew up and attended Punahou School with “Barry” Obama. The two even graduated together, in 1979. She recalls how Barry alternatively told classmates he was an Indonesian prince or Kenyan royalty. The following is from the transcript of her interview:

I went to Punahou School in Honolulu. I was there from kindergarten starting in 1966 through high school, graduating in 1979, along with the president.

When I first met Barry, when he showed up I think it was the summer before fifth grade, he was hanging out at the tennis courts. [...]

So yeah, I can picture him as this slightly — “chubby” is too strong, but rounded, short little guy, Barry Obama. And he told us that his father was an Indonesian king and that he was a prince, and after he finished school he was going to go back, and he would be a ruler in Indonesia. And I absolutely believed him.

I understand that he told his fifth-grade class that he was Kenyan royalty, but I never heard that story until years later. My sister and I remember very clearly that he was an Indonesian prince and that he would be going back there. So there was some reference to where he had come from, and the understanding was his family was there. [...]

I can only imagine now, a 10-year-old leaving his mother and stepfather and at that point I think baby stepsister. So he lived in Hawaii from when he was born until he was 6, lived in Indonesia from 6 to 10. Arriving in Hawaii — again, having not been there — I would think he would have felt very, very fish-out-of-water, very uncomfortable, and like anybody, he’d have to have a little bit of bravado to mask the insecurities. So I think that was the prince story. [...]

You know, a lot of people say, “Wow, yes, I saw that he was going to be president.” … To me he was a normal kid. But to be fair, probably no kid at Punahou is really a normal kid. So he didn’t seem outstanding academically or athletically or any other way. To me he seemed normal. [...] I didn’t see this great thinker, orator, cool under pressure. And I think to a large degree, as he matured, he developed that [...] But yeah, I think he certainly bloomed, blossomed. I guess what I’d say is when I watched his speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2004 [...] I was so impressed and excited. [...] wow, he was an amazing orator and he had wonderful words that he said [...]

He was a decent student. He was a decent athlete. He was a decent guy. I think he was well liked. But he wasn’t a big man on campus. He didn’t run for student government or anything. [...] If you look at our high school program, the senior year graduation program, commencement, it has everybody’s names, and it has — you have an asterisk or a little plus next to you if you graduated with honors, or if you got the President’s Award, and Barry doesn’t have either one. [...] I think people who got the President’s Award were considered pretty special. I think that Barry really found himself and his stride, I would say, later, I would say after Punahou.

Psychologists say pathological narcissists feel empty inside, and so they compensate for that by concocting a grandiose but false self. Among the American Psychological Association Diagnostic Statistical Manual’s criterial attributes of the Narcissistic Personality Disorder are:

• Has a grandiose sense of self-importance.
• Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.
• Believes that he or she is “special” and unique….

By Kristine Caldwell’s account of Barry Obama in their Punahou School years, he was “normal”, that is, ordinary. There was nothing extraordinary about him: Neither a brilliant intellect nor a great athlete nor even a hardworking student, he displayed nothing that would lead his classmates to mark him as “most likely to succeed.” Despite his mediocrity, young Barry imagined himself to be uniquely special, claiming he was an Indonesian prince to some and, to others, a Kenyan royalty. Earlier, while young Barry was still living in Indonesia, he had proclaimed he wanted to be the country’s prime minister when he grows up.

But the reality is neither his Indonesian stepfather, nor his (alleged) Kenyan father Barack Hussein Obama Sr., nor his (rumored) real biological father Frank Marshall Davis, was royalty.

In this, however, Barry was special and unique: He was/is a pathological narcissist, with a grandiose sense of self-importance, from the beginning. In 2008, he even managed to con millions of Americans and millions more across the world that he was their king and messiah.

Obama went to bed after being told about Benghazi attack as it was happening

On September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush was told that a passenger plane had flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York, followed by another. Bush then promptly went to bed.

No, that didn’t happen. But if it had, we’d still be hearing the outcry from the MSM.

4 days ago, on September 21, 2012, a Fox News Special Report conveyed the startling news that Barry Soetoro Obama was informed about the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, within 90 minutes of it beginning.

B.S. Obama undoubtedly was told that the attacks involved AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenades, and that our consulate staff were in grave danger, including our ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens. And yet, knowing all this and not knowing the status of Ambassador Stevens, B.S. Obama went quietly to bed.

Amb. Stevens’ body being dragged through the streets of Benghazi

Daniel Greenfield of Right Side News, Sept. 23, 2012, writes:

“Forget the 3 AM phone call. Obama couldn’t even be trusted with an 11 PM phone call. They say that only a man with a clear conscience, or no conscience at all, can sleep this way. But hey, he had to be rested for the next fundraiser and the next party. Jay-Z and Beyonce, unlike dead ambassadors and Libyan militias, actually matter.”

I don’t know why Greenfield is so upset with B.S. Obama. After all, the POS himself told CBS 60 Minutes that the attacks on our embassies and consulates and the killing of Amb. Stevens and three other Americans (Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods, and Glen Doherty) are mere “bumps in the road“.

A lack of empathy is one of the defining attributes of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. B.S. Obama is a narcissist without empathy for other people. Remember his inappropriate laughter throughout his interview on the economy with Steve Kroft on CBS’ “60 Minutes” in March 2009? Kroft got so exasperated, he said to the POS:

“You’re sitting here. And you’re– you are laughing. You are laughing about some of these problems.”

Empathy is putting ourselves in another’s “shoes” so that we feel at least some of what another is feeling. Developmental psychologists tell us that empathy is an inborn trait of human beings: Even newborn babies display a primitive form of empathy called “global (or diffused) empathy” when they cry upon hearing another baby cry.

Philosophers and ethicists tell us empathy is the basis of our morality: “Do to others as you would have others done unto you”. This is why psychopaths and sociopaths not only lack empathy, they are also remorseless — without a conscience.

All of which means there’s something very wrong with B.S. Obama. Simply put, we have a monster in the White House.

Obama got booed in Boston

CBSW Boston reports that being booed was probably the last thing Barack Obama expected from the crowd at a Symphony Hall fundraiser last night (June 25), but boos he got.

That’s because the POS had the arrogant insensitivity to “thank” Boston for Kevin Youkilis, who was just traded to the Chicago White Sox, which is Obama’s favorite team.

The POS said, laughing, “I’m just saying, he’s going to have to change the color of his socks.”

Youkilis was traded from the Red Sox, to Obama’s favorite team just a day ago, on Sunday, for infielder Brent Lillibridge and pitcher Zach Stewart. Youkilis went 1-for-4 with a single in his White Sox debut Monday night, but Chicago lost to the Twins, 4-1.

“I love me! I love me! I love only me!”

But then the POS was being totally in character. One of the defining attributes of the Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a lack of empathy — putting oneself in another’s shoes and feeling what he/she feels. Our human ability to empathize with others is the basis of morality: Do to others as you would have others do unto you. A lack of empathy also characterizes other personality disorders, including the Anti-Social Personality Disorder, more commonly known as sociopathy and psychopathy.

Tickets for the POS’s fundraiser at Symphony Hall cost between $250 and $2,500.

Those fools and the POS deserve each other!

A product of the “Self Esteem” movement

In the 1980s, public government schools began promoting the self esteem movement.

Here’s one product.

In 2007, five psychologists unveiled the results of their comprehensive study of U.S. college students who would have grown up being indoctrinated in the self esteem movement. Based on the responses of 16,475 college students nationwide who completed an evaluation called the Narcissistic Personality Inventory between 1982 and 2006, the study found that today’s college students are more narcissistic and self-centered than their predecessors, which has troubling implications for society.

“We need to stop endlessly repeating, ‘You’re special,’ and having children repeat that back,” said Jean Twenge , the study’s lead author and a professor at San Diego State University. “Kids are self-centered enough already.”

Self esteem can only come from real achievements. Unearned self-esteem leads only to grandiose narcissism.

That would explain why young Americans are also lacking in empathy.

A Univ. Michigan ISR meta-study in 2010, summarizing 72 other studies of college students’ empathy, concluded that American college students are 40% less empathic than in 1979 with the biggest declines coming in the last decade. They found especially large drops in “empathic concern”.

One of the distinguishing traits of the Narcissistic Personality Disorder is that narcissists, imagining themselves to be superior than others, lack empathy. A deficit in empathy also characterizes sociopaths and psychopaths.

Caroline Kennedy has seller’s remorse about Obama

In the 2008 presidential campaign, despite his murky personal history of Marxist friends and associates, a junior U.S. senator of only two years named Barack Hussein Obama was elected to the presidency of the most powerful country on Earth.

Obama’s election was due in no small part to Ted and Caroline Kennedy, who sprinkled their “Camelot” stardust on the political neophyte with their enthusiastic endorsement.

He was just using you, Caroline

Writing in the New York Times, Caroline Kennedy — the only surviving child of former President John F. Kennedy — delivered this rousing endorsement of Obama: “I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president — not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans.”

Three years into Obama’s presidency, however, the same Caroline Kennedy now regrets her endorsement. She now calls Obama “a liar”.

Jonathan M. Seidl reports for The Blaze, May 14, 2012, that in an explosive new book The Amateur, author Edward Klein asserts that the Kennedy family was bitterly divided in 2008. While Ted and Caroline went for Obama, Robert Kennedy Jr., son of the former Attorney General, and his sisters Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and Kerry Kennedy, were supporters of Hillary Clinton.

Fast forward to 2012. Caroline has undergone a transformation after several snubbings by the Obamas. She especially feels insulted by one particular snubbing, when a vacationing Obama refused to meet with her despite her home being in the vicinity near Martha’s Vineyard.

Author Edward Klein quotes a family member on Caroline’s transformation:

“Through these [spies that the Kennedy family has in the Obama administration] and other people, Caroline heard back that there was a lot of nasty shit being said about the Kennedys by the president and Michelle. There were catty remarks about how badly the Kennedy women dressed, and how their houses were shabby and threadbare. Caroline got the impression that most of this negativity was coming from Michelle, who didn’t want the Kennedys to be part of the administration for fear that they would have too much influence over the president.

Gradually, Carline began to change her tune and side with Bobby and Kathleen [Kennedy Townsend] against the Obamas. Unlike Jackie, who was completely a-political, Carline is a liberal with a capital L. When Obama didn’t raise taxes to balance the  budget, Caroline marked him down. In her eyes, he‘s a mess because he doesn’t follow the liberal bible on politics. More important, Caroline discovered that the Obamas didn’t give a damn about her support. [...]

It really annoyed Caroline when comparisons were made by the media between Michelle and Jackie. Caroline had a word for such comparisons; she called them ‘odious.’ She really got annoyed. And when she began to fall out of love with the Obamas, love was replaced by outright scorn. Now she says things about Obama like, ‘I can’t stand to hear his voice any more. He’s a liar and worse.’”

Ethel Kennedy, “the matriarch of the family,” similarly felt scorned, according to Klein. He tells a story of her invitation — extended to the First Family — being ignored by the Obamas. She got so upset “that she went on a rampage inside her house, cursing the president and turning over furniture.”

And to top it all off, Caroline believes “that as a loyal Democrat, she has nowhere to go, no one else to possibly support except Obama” and “the Obamas know that she has nowhere else to go, so they see no point in being nice to her.”

+++

From Edward Klein’s account, one concludes that what ticked off Caroline and Ethel Kennedy is not an ideological or political difference with Obama. What irks the two women is Obama’s “snubbing” them, that is, the two women’s vanity is pricked. In psychological parlance, Caroline Kennedy is now disillusioned about Obama because she has sustained a “narcissistic injury.”

Among the criterial attributes listed by the American Psychological Association’s Diagnostic Statistical Manual for the Narcissistic Personality Disorder are:

• has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements);
• believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions);
• is interpersonally exploitive, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends;
• lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others;
• shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes.

These attributes are descriptive of the Obamas (Barry and Moochelle), but also of the Kennedys.

Being “interpersonally exploitive,” Obama exploited Caroline Kennedy for her endorsement in 2008, after which he no longer has use for her. And so, he couldn’t even be bothered to visit Caroline when the Obamas summer-vacationed in the Kennedy playground, Martha’s Vineyard.

Good grief. Did Caroline actually imagine the Obamas to have gratitude or empathy? — to “recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others”?

In the end, in the eyes of Barack and especially Michelle, Caroline and the other Kennedys are nothing more than a bunch of privileged white people.

Tsk, tsk. Aren’t we a touchy thin-skinned President

• “Has a grandiose sense of self-importance.
• Requires excessive admiration.
• Has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with her expectations.
• Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings & needs of others.
• Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes.”

These are among the traits of the Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), according to the American Psychological Association’s Diagnostic Statistical Manual IV.

Narcissism is excessive self-love. At the core of the NPD syndrome is the construction of a false self as a way to cope with the external world so as to compensate for the individual’s feelings of insecurity and uncertain self-identity. Like its namesake, the mythic Narcissus who is in love with his reflection in water, the self that the narcissist loves is not his real self, but a false self that is grandiose, perfect, and superior.

Being contrived, the grandiose false self must be vigilantly protected from being pierced by reality. That is why the narcissist reacts to any perceived criticism, no matter how minor or trivial, with a feigned cool indifference or with rage and humiliation. The narcissist simply will not listen to or countenance criticism.

The extraordinary photo below of the President of the United States bickering with the Governor of Arizona was snapped by a pool reporter yesterday in Phoenix airport.

Here’s the “pool report” from Drudge:

OBAMA HAS HEATED ARGUMENT WITH AZ GOV
Wed Jan 25 2012 18:33:56 ET

President Obama arrived in Phoenix at 3:15 pm local time, finding the chilly weather of Iowa giving way to sunny skies and temperatures in the high 60s.

He stepped off Air Force One at 3:28 pm and was greeted by Gov. Jan Brewer. She handed him a handwritten letter in an envelope and they spoke intensely for a few minutes. At one point, she pointed her finger at him.

Afterwards, your pooler spoke with the governor.

“He was a little disturbed about my book, Scorpions for Breakfast. I said to him that I have all the respect in the world for the office of the president. The book is what the book is. I asked him if he read the book. He said he read the excerpt. So.”

Asked what aspect of the book disturbed him, Brewer said: “That he didn’t feel that I had treated him cordially. I said I was sorry he felt that way but I didn’t get my sentence finished. Anyway, we’re glad he’s here. I’ll regroup.”

On the letter, she said it was personal letter asking him to sit down with her to discuss the “Arizona comeback.” She said she “reiterated an invitation that I’ve extended to him before with regards to coming to Arizona and going to the border with me.” She said she would take him to lunch. “We’ve had a remarkable comeback here and I want to share that with him.”

She said the president brought up the book.

“I thought we probably would’ve talked about the things that were important to him and important to me, helping one another. Our country is upside down. Arizona was upside down. But we have turned it around. I know again that he loves this country and I love this country.”

It was clear from the moment they greeted one another that this would not be a run-of-the-mill encounter between the president and a local official. At one point, she was pointing her finger at him and at another, they were talking at the same time, seemingly over each other. He appeared to walk away from her while they were still talking, and she confirmed that by saying she didn’t finish her sentence.

When Brewer spoke with your pooler, the AP and an NBC producer for several minutes afterwards, she appeared a bit flustered and taken aback by the conversation. Asked if she was, that’s when Brewer said, “I’ll regroup.”

Karl Rove Confirms Obama is a Grandiose Narcissist

Jim Meyers and Kathleen Walter report for NewsMax.com, Nov. 29, 2011, that former George W. Bush presidential adviser Karl Rove says Barack Obama is so arrogant, he doesn’t consider himself a “mere mortal.”

In an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV, Rove was asked if he has heard reports that Obama is a “loner.”

“I not only heard it, I had to deal with it,” he responds.

“During my time in the White House my job was to try to develop an informal relationship with him when he came to the Senate in 2005, and I saw him up close for almost three years.

“My view of him is that he’s incredibly smart. He can, if he wants to, be enormously charming. But he’s also the most self-aware person I’ve ever met in politics, which makes for a deadly combination. He is arrogant and aloof and diffident and doesn’t believe he needs to get his hands dirty with the normal work of mortals. He’s not a mere mortal in his mind.

“He’s developed no long-term and deep connection with the [Democratic] leadership. They like him, they respect him for having returned the White House to Democratic hands. But there’s none of the close friendship and close working relationship that you’d expect the president to develop with individual members of Congress.”

This is not news to those of us who have tried in vain to warn our countrymen sheeple about this, beginning in 2008.

That a grandiose narcissist is in the White House has frightening implications.

A narcissist is someone with a grandiose false self-image. This means Obama’s self-perception is skewed, which in turn means he has problems with reality assessment. The erroneous assessment isn’t restricted to his self-perception but speaks to an overall cognitive impairment, which means that we have no assurance of his ability to correctly perceive reality — of America and the world.

Wayne Madsen: Obama Obsessed With Vanity Searches

In an exclusive-to-subscribers post on September 23, 2011, D.C.-based investigative journalist Wayne Madsen reports that Obama is very depressed about his fall in popularity, and spends whatever time he has from official duties, in vanity searches on the Internet.

Here are excerpts from Madsen:

“WMR has learned from government sources with close contacts inside the White House that media reports that The New York Times is developing a story on President Obama suffering from clinical depression are correct and that Obama is fixated on how the media, including certain web sites, view his presidency.

WMR has previously reported on Obama’s narcissistic personality and how it has adversely affected his leadership capabilities as president. Obama’s day usually begins by his conducting “vanity searches” on Google to see how he is being treated by both the main stream media and political blogs. When he encounters negative articles, Obama flies off the handle in a rage punctuated by the use of foul language, according to sources close to the White House. Obama is reportedly totally obsessed with how the media is covering him.

[...] WMR has been told by informed sources that when he first read our accounts of his background with the CIA, including his employment with Business International Corporation, and the CIA histories of his mother and grandparents, Obama flew into a rage — the possible source for three independent reports that indicated that the White House wanted this editor “dead.”

Privately, some White House officials have expressed fear to Democratic Party officials and elected Democratic office holders around the nation that Obama is on the verge of a mental breakdown. The White House officials believe that only by putting Obama in front of adoring crowds in a carefully-orchestrated campaign mode can they buy time for the administration. However, the White House sources have expressed grave doubts about Obama’s ability to maintain his composure when faced with growing criticism. Their worst fear is that Obama will suffer from a public breakdown, sealing the end of his re-election chances and dooming the down-ticket electoral prospects for the Democratic Party in 2012 and beyond.

[...] Obama is known to search the Internet for stories about himself before he receives the President’s Daily Brief from top intelligence officials. Woe be it to any intelligence briefer who reports on information obtained from open sources. Obama, who, in many cases has already read such accounts, will let loose with a barrage of abusive epithets, yelling, at times, “I already know that you stupid motherfucker!”

Ron Suskind’s new book, “Confidence Men,” which mainly concerns the dysfunctional nature of the Obama White House, has resulted in a full-court press being directed by the White House and its spin doctors against the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist.”

Madsen’s account is consistent with the profile of a psychological pathology recognized by the American Psychological Association as the Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). As explained in this article on NPD:

• At the core of the NPD syndrome is the construction of a false self as a way to cope with the external world so as to compensate for the individual’s feelings of insecurity and uncertain self-identity. Like its namesake, the mythic Narcissus who is in love with his reflection in water, the self that Obama loves is not his real self, but a false self that is grandiose, perfect, and superior.

• The narcissist is hollow inside and derives his sense-of-self from seeing his reflection in the eyes of others. The psychological literature calls this “mirroring”: the narcissist mainly uses other people as a mirror to reflect his grandiose false self-conception. Like a vampire who must feed on others’ blood in order to live, the narcissist feeds on other people’s admiration, approval, love, and compliments. That is why Obama’s handlers have decided to dispatch him on the campaign trail, where he’ll be greeted by adoring crowds.

On Oct. 16, 2010, Obama let slip his charming public mask and revealed the raging demon within.

• The maintenance and protection of the false self also requires Obama the narcissist to be constantly vigilant against being “attacked” by others. Toward any perceived criticism, he publicly feigns cool indifference, but away from the public eye, he overreacts with rage and humiliation to even minor or trivial reproach. He simply will not listen to or countenance criticism.

More disturbing is the fact that since NPD means that the narcissist has a grandiose but FALSE self-conception, this is more than a mental disorder. Pathological narcissism is also a cognitive disorder, i.e., an impaired assessment of reality.

This means that Americans have as President a man who is cognitively impaired. If he is grossly mistaken in his assessment of himself, he is also impaired in his assessment of the reality beyond himself — the U.S. economy, politics, and the world.

Think about it….
