“ET”, a frequent blogger to this site regularly refers to Obama as narcisstic.
I believe she is correct.
The man is very smart, no doubt about that, BUT,
he is not the leader to inspire a noble free nation such as the United States.
Self absorbed, (loves in front of cameras) utopian dreamer.
Reminds me of Taliban Jack, Canada’s closet communist.
Kate. You owe me a keyboard.
Kate and Peter, yer both wrong.
A Weeble could take him.
What’s this?
No puppet $tring$ for the “action” doll?
GI Joe … With Kung Fu Grip!
Or Malibu Barbi……….
Re Layton …. “Closet Communist” ?
Joe Molnar, I wouldn’t jump right up and say he’s ‘very smart’ per se, as a genuinely smart person in such a position of leadership has traditionally put their country that they preside over before their own egos, as they were elected to do, this one does not.
He’s enraptured with himself and that’s not smart to me.
Very cunning and manipulative would be more apt descriptors IMO, as well as the very accurate ones that ET points out.

Sorry Kate, for Off topic here.

Top ten answers:
You have travelled to those missing ten states
You wrote two books where “I” was the most frequenly used word
You were the President of the Harvard Law Review and couldn’t be bothered to write even one paragraph
Your best friend is a teleprompter
When your best friend isn’t around you use verbal shorthand ie: Ah Ahhh But ahhh well ahhh
You also don’t know the difference between “profit and earning” and “price/earning”
Because you also believe that the Selma, Alabama protest march happened in 1961
Because you also can’t tell the difference between ten thousand people and twelve people
You don’t know about DVD encoding either
You also have a spokesperson to tell us what you really meant
The next TELE TUBBY, YO-BRO
cool…a Steve Erkel doll
Don’t expect to see ulianov posting on this as he is out shopping for a doll to add to his collection of Lenin, Hitler, Stalin, Mao Tse Tung, Mao Strong and Pol Pot.

N1, can’t believe I missed it.
LOL these comments are great, and Joe M, I do hear what you’re saying, perhaps I’m just overly sensitive about words being given opposite or false meanings these days.
Currently LSM, leftists and politicians have given ‘peace’ and ‘justice’ a new meaning it’s now: ‘appeasement’ for mass murdering terrorists and their handlers. Where the true cost of innocents being mass murdered is ignored by the above mentioned suspects, and the real cost is born by real people who are left to live with and pay for this crap.
That looks like a knockoff. My collector’s edition “O” has much more defined Euro-Arabian-American facial features, plus a larger box glued to his back to back with a Soros doll and a Buffet doll fighting over the strings connecting through the boxes to “O”.
for an extra few shekels you can get an accompanying Rahm doll, that can shove it’s hand up into the “hand puppets” lower end, thusly negating the need for those unsightly puppet strings
Teh Soros ‘O’ Ho.

I’d like to see him in one of those under glass things where you shake it and it snows. With the teleprompter beside him.
Folks,
I think “Caribou Barbie” (Sarah Palin) has been kicking his butt for the past two or three weeks. Her Facebook posts have really done a number on the Universal Health Care Bill and now she’s blasting holes in Mr Obama’s move to lend Brazil $2B to drill for offshore oil instead of spending it in the US and drilling off Alaska’s coast.
~~favill~~
Obama is not intelligent; one of the basic attributes of an intelligent person is curiousity. Obama is not curious; he has no interest in learning about..history, theories of economics and politics; no interest in facts.
This is obvious from any research on Obama. He has no record of intellectual accomplishments. His stint at the Harvard editorial board was purely an image; the work was left to others. He has no intellectual history. His stint as a community activist fulfils his need to control and manipulate others.
He has one focus. Himself. And his ability to manipulate people so that he feels he is in control. This is a pathological neurosis that he slipped into many, many years ago. His strategies of control are to misinform..he is, to put it mildly, deeply informationally dishonest. But he’s indifferent to such dishonesty for his goal is not the veracity of facts but his ability to control.
He is emotionally manipulative, reverting to basic emotions of hope and fear. Notice how often he inserts fear by his references to ‘crisis’. We are always on the cusp of an economic, a health, a fiscal..whatever..crisis.
And only if you allow him to control you, will you be safe from this crisis.
Notice how he manipulates by reverting to the ‘charming teenager. Notice how he’ll stop speaking and flash a teen-smile or wink or insert a teen-joke. It probably worked with his grandmother.
And, if you still hold out on him, Obama will revert to blackmail. He’ll accuse you of bias. Your decisions and opinions, he informs you, are due to your racism, your political partisanship, your rural residency, your religious feelings. Of course, since there can never been any proof of such a link between your presumed biases and your opinions – Obama achieves his desired result: he makes you feel guilty for that opinion.
His pathological narcissism increases its needs in his new role as President. As a community organizer, he was Top Gun over a babble of local activists. But as president, his need to control means that he must control, not just a few activists, but an entire population.
Any and all whom he cannot control will simply cease to exist for Obama. I mean that. You literally do not exist if he feels he can’t control you.
And to achieve this control, since it must be over more and more people – he’ll start to, as he has, align himself with an ultimate authoritarian power. He’s aligned himself with God. Watch him do this more and more.
Again – he’ll misinform; he has no feeling of integrity towards the truth, towards facts. He’ll manipulate, constantly telling you we are on the brink of collapse. And he’ll move into his ‘charming teenager’ filled with love and hope, as often as he can. Dissent, criticize – and you’ll be accused of racism and prejudice. Obama the Magnificent.
ET
as you move farther to the “left”, socialy and politically, you find that more and more of the people who populate there are image driven, I see it every day
as to your position on the Zero, pretty acurate I’d say
That is a well written analogy ET, thanks.
An intelligent leader would be making much better choices for his country than what’s been demonstrated to date by Obama.
Everything you’ve written about him so far is right on target.
It’s also a bit alarming to say the least, he wields a lot of power and influence currently and lives right next door, in a manner of speaking. If the US bleeds out economically or worse, we will be affected one way or another. Don’t see his term, given his operating pattern of narcissism, coming out a rosy picture at all.
I saw this action figure for the first time in Missoula on Memorial Day and thought it was funny too, so I took a photo of it. One thing that is missing from this shot is the bottom front face of the box, which has perhaps the funniest part on it… “Warning: Choking Hazard”
“Warning: Choking Hazard”

I was thinking that if the EARS had been proportional, one could have tied a string to his ah pec…personal appendage and flown him like a kite:-))))
What is fascinating is to watch and wonder how the Democratic Party is going to deal with Obama. I doubt that they realized at the nomination time, the extent of Obama’s psychological damage, and how they’d have to deal with it. Can they deal with it?
Since Obama can’t develop policies and programs, these are left to the BackRoom Gang, who can be anyone from Soros to Pelosi and Reid. So – are their policies palatable to mainstream Americans? It doesn’t seem to be the case.
Can Obama sell these policies? He’s having great difficulty at the moment. Remember, he’s not intellectually involved in these or any policies. He’s selling them – that’s all. And his salesmanship is directly related to his need for adoration and subservience.
But – if these policies don’t give him adulation, then – since he has no intellectual commitment to them, he’s quite capable of dropping them. We’ve seen that already, and seen that Obama will show his lack of commitment to the ‘public health care option’ and the BackRoom Gang instantly reiterates that ‘it’s a requirement’.
What happens if Obama ceases to be The Useful Salesman for this BackRoom Gang? Who drops whom first?
In other words, we are seeing a great gap, a split in leadership in the Democratic Party. You have the Executive Branch, with its czars and best buddies cocooning Obama from direct contact. You have the BackRoom Gang. Each side has a different agenda. Obama’s agenda is adoration and control over the people’s emotional interaction with him. The BRG’s agenda is to insert a socialist infrastructure into the USA.
The Democrats obviously thought they could use the first to achieve the latter. But can they?
And what happens if/when Obama gets so punch drunk on being The One, and requires more and more obsequious adulation? How much time, energy and money can the Democratic Party give to maintain a constant atmosphere of Adoration of The One?
What happens to the rank and file Democrats, caught in this teetering and deadly interface between a pathological neurotic and an equally pathological BackRoom Socialist Gang? What happens when it becomes clear that mainstream Americans will vote them out? Who does the rank and file Democrat drop? The Party or Obama?
ET
I think we have already witnessed a “power” struggle between O (or O’s handlers) and pelosi when Penetta (italian just like pelosi) had a go at her. I think this was to put some controls on her and limit her power, as she might, and it appears has, interfered with their agenda. Tho their goals may be similar, their egos dictate that “their” way is the only way. This power struggle will rise again, and will probably be more vicious, also may have more players, as I see Hill will want to be a little less “at the back of the buss”, as she is now. This marginalizing of hill is a stratigy to limit her appeal to the public, so as to lessen her 2012 chances.
gym – yes, having Hillary Clinton in ‘The Team’ so to speak, was a deliberate act – I’d say by the BRG (BackRoom Gang) to marginalize Hillary and prevent her from continuing to be a critical Presence on the scene.
And boy, have they marginalized her. She’s effectively invisible. Will she put up with it? Or will she quit? Can she quit? Did she sign something that legally binds her not to quit? After all, if she quits, she’s essentially saying to the befuddled and bewildered rank-and-file, that she’s on their side. And that The Enemy to their critical re-election in 2010 and 2012 – is Obama and people like Pelosi, Reid, etc.
The BRG can’t let her quit. But – what does she do?
What is fascinating, if one wants to be merely an Observer From Mars and uninvolved in the trauma and disastrous consequences of these important decisions – is those decisions.
The different agendas of Obama versus the BackRoom Gang. Has there ever been such a deep cleft in the Executive of the US? Each has a different agenda; each is using the other to obtain their agendas! That’s quite something in itself.
Think about it. Each agent doesn’t work on their own but is nested and active only within the Imagery or Policies of the other. What happens if these two cross-agents can’t work together? What happens if each fails the other?
What does Obama do if/when his being a Salesman for the BRG’s policies results not in adoration but in anger and criticism? He won’t accept that.
What does the BRG do if/when Obama can’t sell their socialist programs?
And again, what do the rank-and-file Democrats do, caught as they are, between these two cross-agents?
Hillary, of course, ought to go with the rank and file. But – is she legally able to quit? Or otherwise? Would she end up in some disastrous newstory put out by the BRG? Or?
What’s lost in all of this? The well-being of America and Americans.
Not a good place to put it, I always thot the mummy was a real action hero
re. ET @4:22 – “one of the basic attributes of an intelligent person is curiosity.”
One of the reasons that I’ve never been a huge believer in I.Q. results per se (I do think they’re interesting) is that there really is no one consensus on what constitutes intelligence. I mean, I’ve never read a proper definition of it. Statements like “an intelligent person is somebody who scores well on an intelligence test” are tautological.
I suspect Obama would do very well on an I.Q. test, although since so few of his records have been released I don’t suppose anything like that will have been either. But I think ET’s right about his lack of curiosity. Is curiosity a personality or maybe even a character trait, though?
And this voodoo doll will be of no use to me; aside from the ears, it doesn’t look like him at all.

GYM,
I noted your ‘Italian’ reference. Perhaps you aren’t aware that Italians that were born in America are fully integrated and assimilated into American culture. Individual Italians are pretty much working in their own interests and the interests of their political affiliations and not in the interests of some shadowy cult. (other than the democratic party that is) Most of the old time mafia has legitimized and there are few of those gangsters left in the world outside of Italy. With Italy’s rapid population decline, there won’t be enough Italians left make up a decent soccer team within one more generation.
Got that?
“deeply informationally dishonest”
ET speak for bold faced liar.

Black Mamba, everytime I read or hear the word intelligence, I am flung back 30 plus years to hear my dad saying,
“Any relationship between education and intelligence is purely coincidental”
Smartest man I ever knew. Bar none. Grade 8 with a GED many years later for his own satisfaction.
We know Barry is educated, but dad’s little axiom really hits a homerun on this I think.
If they ever make a black”Addams family”,I think we have found the new “Lurch”.

As I write this, I have a window open to Instapundit; there’s an advertisement there for “The Michelle Obama Porcelain Doll” from The Danbury Mint.
