[...] Bookworm has a good insight into Obama’s narcissism and how it affects his leadership: Obama’s little brain says “Everyone can see I’m a genius. Everyone can see I’m a genius.” [...] The problem with this external measurement, of course, is that if you make a mistake the praise goes away. Narcissists cannot afford mistakes. And the best way to avoid a mistake is not to make a decision.

Mike, just read it.
No wonder they’re pushing health care – half the country is in need of mental health counseling.

Since Clinton's name was mentioned here today...I just wanted to share Hillary's helpful hint of the day - certainly not as helpful as Heloise. Now, if only we could get the same support here. "I would just reiterate that the United States stands ready to assist our friends in the Philippines who are seeking to counter terrorism and the threat of extremism and we will be willing to support them in any way that is appropriate that they request," Clinton said. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9BU51C00&show_article=1

Mike, I don’t for a second believe that Obama has a powerful intellect. He is obviously not a well read or educated man, nor does he display any curiosity about the world. That doesn’t mean he isn’t clever. Even the slowest kid in class picks up a trick or two along the way for manipulating those around him.

But you ask a complex question: If he is an intellectual flyweight, does he understand what he’s doing to the country? I believe he does. I think Book has nailed Obama. For the narcissist, his reflection in the pool is the most important thing in the world. Nothing, not even the United States of America and all the good and great things it has stood for, can get in the way of his need to be admired by the band of sociopaths who created him.

>>Reckless and personally corrupt, sure, but un-American>>

At least his corruption was limited to women and personal benefit. I fear that Obama’s corruption will expand to include anything that includes the possibility that freedom loving people will take back the country. I fear the possiblity that we’ll be forced into an armed confrontation…

I’d like to reiterate gpc31′s point. Though I disliked Clinton’s political leanings, there was never much doubt that he was sincere in promoting the interests of America. Sometimes in ways I disagreed with, true. But when it comes to Obama, I have no such illusions. We have a president who is practically hostile to the interests of America. This truth will emerge, with proof, eventually, but it will be a decade or more before that happens, caused by post-analysis of what is currently going on. The power-brokers that have the most influence in this administration *will* be found to be anti-American in outlook and policy. In some cases, it will be because their brand of far-leftism is that brand that hates what America has stood for, and sees this country as primarily corrupt and evil. In other cases, we will find that they are internationalists, and that American power in their sphere of interest needed to be deliberately weakened. Think George Soros and international finance markets, and you’ll have it.

Obama has hobnobbed with the “hate-America” crowd ever since his early college days, and it’s no secret he’s a part of their circle. He also has made it clear in his speeches that he’s an internationalist. The question for me has always been, is he a hard-core believer in both of these circles, or is he merely sympathetic to their goals, caught in orbit around the hard-core true believers? Does he really understand how far they want to go in undermining our country? I suppose I’m wondering, really… is Obama an intellectual lightweight, participating in our destruction without truly understanding that that’s what he’s doing? Merely because his political and cultural leanings have placed him within the influence of many people who *do* truly understand what they’re doing as they tear us down?

I never thought I’d say that I’m observing a Presidency and an administration worse than Jimmy Carters’ but it appears that’s what’s happening to us, right now.

Yes — I have found myself telling my wife that in retrospect, Clinton wasn’t so bad. Reckless and personally corrupt, sure, but un-American, no; and at least he had executive experience. A horrifying commentary on the times.
