Disclaimer:
This is just a thought I had; I am not a psychologist or psychiatrist, but I did stay at a Motel 6 last night. But I think you would agree that Obama would not only fit into five of the nine criteria but may actually fit all nine of the criteria listed by the American Psychiatric Association. Remember I am a clinician who finds this diagnosis interesting but I am not qualified to make a clinical determination or actually diagnosis.
Assessment:
Obama is a 46 year old African American male. He entered the presidential race to fulfill his need for recognition and ideal love from Obamanites that he feels he needs to fulfill his destiny as the only man that can save the world. Barack Obama has a deep rooted sense of entitlement which leads him to demand attention and adoration by over 200,000 German citizens. Mr. Obama displays 7 er ah 9 of the 9 criteria for the diagnosis of 301.81 Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
(1) Wants to be Commander in Chief of the United States of America, Leader of the Free World and “Air Force 1” scrabble champion.
(2) Preoccupied with fantasies that he is the Savior; will completely change the state of events in world history; he alone will give hope to humanity forever.

(4) Has a need to achieve adoration from all who he comes in contact with including 200,000 German citizens and 4 Jewish supporters at the Western Wall.
(5) Feels he is entitled to be the President of the United States of America. Any thing less would show that America is a racist bigoted country.
(6) Takes advantage of his family by parading them in front of cameras on TV and in People magazine.
(7) Snubbed veterans to attend his own personal workout and because he was not allowed to exploit the situation for his own aggrandizement.
(8) Believes that others, (e.g. John McCain) want to be him or have his charisma. Is envious of others, (e.g., Gandhi, Jesus, Superman, Bill Clinton)
(9) Daaa!
Recommendation:
DO NOT LET THIS MAN IN YOUR HOUSE; THE WHITE HOUSE!

Wealthy elitist Snobama attacks wealthy elitist McCain
We’re trapped in the Obama campaign’s Cone of Stupidity and we can’t get out. The latest Obama ad razzes McCain for not remembering how many houses he has. (But at least he knows how many states there are.)
Wealthy elitist Senator mauls wealthy elitist Senator. Snooze.
Yahoo! News is featuring the moronic gotcha story from Politico. And VP hopeful Tim Kaine is dutifully attacking McCain’s mental competence. You want gaffes that call into question mental competence, Gov. Kaine? Hello, Sunshine. Thank you, Sioux City. I see dead people. Iran poses no serious threat. 57 states. 10,000 killed. Etc, etc. etc.
Michelle Malkin Has Her Own Diagnosis:
Barack Obama is afraid of himself
How moronic is Barack Obama’s latest, bogus whine about Republicans emphasizing his funny name and how “different” he looks from other American presidents to gin up fear?
Well, look who’s afraid of himself. This comes not from the GOP. Not from conservative talk radio. Not from John McCain, who has been too busy calling members of his own party racist for challenging the Obamessiah.
No, this comes from the Senate website of…Barack Obama:
I remember when I first ran for the state Senate – my very first race. A seat had opened up, and some friends asked me if I’d be interested in running. Well, I thought about it, and then I did what every wise man does when faced with a difficult decision: I prayed, and I asked my wife.
And after consulting with these higher powers, I threw my hat in the ring and I did what every person on a campaign does – I talked to anyone who’d listen.
I went to bake sales and barber shops and if there were two guys standing on the corner I’d pull up and hand them literature. And everywhere I went I’d get two questions:
First, they’d ask, “Where’d you get that funny name, Barack Obama?” Because people just couldn’t pronounce it. They’d call me “Alabama,” or they’d call me “Yo Mama.” And I’d have to explain that I got the name from my father, who was from Kenya.

Another trait of narcissistic personality disorder is the belief that he or she is exempt from laws and consequences for bad behavior.
Those things are for ‘the little people’, as Leona Helmsley, perhaps the most recent blatant example of this disorder has reminded us
I can’t wait for it all to hit the fan. I’m hoping for a front row set

Anthony,
Thank you for your comment,
You must be speaking of the fact that these people believe that they are superior, special, or unique and expect others to recognize them as such and often implicit in the inflated judgements of their own accomplishments is an underestimation or devaluation of the contributions of others.
They feel they are so superior that they are above the law.
The more we investigate the more Obama fits.
Just a warning for you Anthony,
Wear a heavy rain coat and take an umbrella if you plan to sit in the front row for the fan hitting end of Obama.

Believes he is is above the US constitution and entitled to be POTUS even though he is not a US-born native citizen per the laws in effect at the time of his birth.

lunahill,
That is an interesting twist this late in the race.
Do you think it has anything to do with the passport break in?
Do you think his birth certificate issue will become common knowledge or will the MSM hide it and ignore it.
This new twist reminds me of the forged document during the second Bush campaign and eventual victory that got Dan Rather removed.

Your list of narcissistic characteristics is accurate. However, posting a list of characteristics and then saying that these fit Obama does not make it so. I could could respond by saying that those characteristics fit George Bush or John McCain. In fact, John Mc Cain does appear to exhibit some of those characteristics from from what I have heard about his supposed temper and “over the top” reponses he has reportedly had with others.
On the other hand, maybe he just has a quickdraw temper. Saying someone is narcissistic does not make it so. Providing evidence does not make it so but would lend some credibility to your claim. Your quote from his book does not indicate a narcissitic behavior. It’s about campaigning. That’s what politicians do. In other words, you provide no evidence, and much evidence would be needed for you to make your claim remotely valid. I am assuming that you are in favor of John McCain being president, but maligning Obama with unsubstantiated claim and offering no surplus of evidence tells me that reason, logic, and thoughtful argument presented in a reasoned manner are not part of your intent. Unfortunately, those who are unthinking will accept your “analysis.” But I believe you already know that.

Marion,
Thanks for your comments.
Of course I expected that most people would understand that this is not a scientific diagnosis. Mostly for fun, but I wouldn’t be surprised. I figured the “Stayed at a Motel 6″ line would give it away if anybody truly needed such clarification.
You stated correctly that this is a political campaign and I see this as a Political Personality Personality Disorder or PPPD if you will.
I could go into more detail on why Obama fits so well but I think I will leave that for another time. I am a little burnt out this week from trying to clarify myself with people who really like Obama.
As far as the “unthinking” accepting my analysis, they are already voting for Obama and don’t care what anybody says.
I still think Obama would be a disaster for America, but I am beginning to give in to the idea that a certain part of are population does not care or really want to know why or how or who Obama is, just that he is Obama; that’s enough to vote for him.
Thank you again for your comment and hopefully you will see the humor in my next post titled
“Obama’s Mile High Opening Act”
Thank you,
