Is Obama a Narcissist?

According to the DSM-IV-TR these are symptoms of the disorder:

  1. Reacting to criticism with anger, shame, or humiliation
  2. Taking advantage of others to reach own goals
  3. Exaggerating own importance, achievements, and talents
  4. Imagining unrealistic fantasies of success, beauty, power, intelligence, or romance
  5. Requiring constant attention and positive reinforcement from others
  6. Becoming jealous easily
  7. Lacking empathy and disregarding the feelings of others
  8. Being obsessed with self
  9. Pursuing mainly selfish goals
  10. Trouble keeping healthy relationships
  11. Becoming easily hurt and rejected
  12. Setting goals that are unrealistic
  13. Wanting "the best" of everything
  14. Appearing unemotional

In my opinion, he has every symptom but 10. I am not sure on symptoms six and twelve. Since he doesn’t want to be seen governing I don’t know what his goals for the country are other than destroying the republican party and wanting the country to be another France.

He didn’t like criticism of his ears. That fits symptom 11 and possibly one.

Since he uses people around him as props for photos and deliberately canceled any white house tours so he could use the sequestration as an excuse that is symptom two.

When he gave his first inauguration speech he was by himself without any family standing in front of columns. He also said his speaking ability was a gift when asked. These behaviors are symptom three.

The main stream press and his accolades never criticism him. We are told he is the smartest and coolest president ever. Also, the press never investigated him during the first election. That’s symptom five.

As for lacking empathy and disregarding the feelings of others, he calls republicans or anyone who disagrees with his progressive\socialistic perspective  “evil” or even racist. Even if he doesn’t do it he doesn’t apologize or condemn those on the Left who do.

When he sang one time at a press conference when someone asked about his singing ability that’s symptom eight.

I could go on but you get the point.

Obama could very well be a Phallic narcissist. According to a wikipedia article this kind of  “individual is elitist, a ‘social climber’, admiration seeking, self-promoting, bragging and empowered by social success.” Yea, he fits most of those traits.
