Too late: (copied and pasted from an email)
Understanding Obama: The Making of a Fuehrer
By Ali Sina
I must confess I was not 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 a 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 Lo ve, also 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, dearest and nearest 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' souls, 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. Why should he implicate
himself in issues that may become controversial when they don't help
him personally? 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 with a
fellowship and an office to work on his book. The book took him a lot
longer than expected and at the end it devolved 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 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 must be 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 evinces
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.
Let us call a spade a spade. This is racism, pure and simple. The
truth is that while everyone carries a misconceived collective guilt
towards the blacks for wrongs done centuries ago by a bygone people to
a bygone people, the blacks carry a collective rancor, enmity or
vendetta towards non-blacks and to this day want to "stand up" to the
white man.. They seem to be stuck in 19th century.
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 1960s. 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 Ahmadi nejad, 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.
