Barack Obama: Narcissistic Personality Disorder

[Bluesman63]

What is this video doing in the science and technology category? Attempting to diagnose a serious psychiatric condition with astrological bullshit and a list of symptoms pulled off of Wikipedia?

I suggest News and Politics as a more appropriate category, being that the category "medieval pseudo-science and uninformed speculation" does not exist.

[AvengingDudikoff]

ALL politicians are narcissists. Dick Cheney, Palin and Obama etc You could use some npd because you're boring to listen, your video is boring and it sucks black dick.

[wateryskipper]

You are not qualified to make a diagnosis. This tells me alot about you...

[vedicastrol]

@wateryskipper THAT'S FUNNY, i COULD SAY THE SAME TO YOU. THIS VIDEO WAS MADE 2 YEARS AGO, AND GUESS WHAT? PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO REALIZE IT'S TRUE.

[wateryskipper]

@vedicastrol True professionals have made this diagnosis about Sarah Palin. Are you a Teabagger?

[AspiringPotato]

Astrology == Bullshit. That's all...

[elitesack]

shoot yourself in the mouth, it might help you speak better.

[vedicastrol]

no, I have DSM-IV. I am not the only one. Several other medical professionals have noticed this about him. And Yes, I do have an advanced doctorate degree in medicine.

[lspearmanii]

IMHO - All politicians have NPD in my opinion or they would not seek that office

[kinkeezie]

Great voice. I wish this lady would try to psychoanalyze me. This is such nonsense. Although I do not agree with many of his policy positions Obama is fine. He is indeed a breath of fresh air, and doing the best he can

[vedicastrol]

If you don't think he's narcissistic by now, you are in a small, small minority. He can't stand to be criticized, that's why he has his supporters bused into his Town Hall meetings.

[bumblechicken69]

So far the only people you are "convincing" are those who had already made up their minds. Your credibility as an astrologer aside, perhaps you could at least enumerate the DSM criteria for NPD and demonstrate (without speculation) how you believe he fits which criterion. The DSM lists 9.

Go.

[vedicastrol]

I listed it on the side. This is old stuff, everyone already knows he's a Nero. where have you been? This video is dated 7/20/08

[MyBouncyBalls]

astrologers are also in the small small minority

[antienjigglement]

This is interesting, but I do not believe in astrology.

[crakri]

This was a really interesting dissertation.

Thanks. Especially your comment about "dislike for spritual men"

[pf126p]

Hardly a dissertation. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. lol

[DEREKinNYC]

Hey, you know what? Your presentation is so badly done I can not even follow what you're saying.

[Superhero18]

Astrology is an ever-evolving science that deals with the cosmos and the stars. Ironically, our scientists too study them. Vedic Astrology is different from Western Astrology(Which I practice). Vedic astrology does not I believe contain Pluto or Chiron. It's still vastly accurate. But how much more accurate would it be if it contained those planets I wonder. Obama's Chiron exists in Pisces, meaning that there's a lack of spiritual awareness inside of him. Which has obviously come to light.

[vedicastrol]

the ancient rishis were elevaed souls who made a perfect science, they did not include the trans-Saturnian planets, because they aren't needed. If you look at the pada of Obama 2nd pada of Krtikka "dislike for spiritual men". I will send you the reference .

[YZBot]

astrology is not science.

[cockslutfartypants]

Science? Do you do palm-reading and ouija boards too?

[professorbuglefarts1]

Astrology? Holy fuck. This is the year 2009, not the stone age. I thought I was gonna see a chart related to a psychological evaluation- ie science, not make-believe. Vids like this should have a warning at the top- Caution! Made by an imbecile! Do not watch if your IQ is larger than your shoe size...

[vedicastrol]

oh you hurt my feelings so much! You little 24 yr old from the Philippines. Do you always go around youtube trying to make people cry? Or is the discussion perhaps a little too over your head? Oh my! maybe you should go back to Cartoon Network.

[TrishtheDishNY]

@professorbuglefarts1 the creator of this vid is an imbecile? this coming from someone with the channel name "professorbuglefarts1".

[vedicastrol]

sorry to hear that your lover turned out to be a monster.

[vedicastrol]

well, obviously, at some point you were enamored by your boyfriend too...then you woke up. Possibly the same thing will happen when you see through the cult charisma of Barry.

[vedicastrol]

As I said others have noted that he matches the description in DSM-VI Holocaust survivors, in particular, point out that he has striking similarities to Hitler. I see you're at the beginning of your education, so why not read the DSM-VI good reading too.

[vedicastrol]

I'm a doctor. Secondly it's not always necessary to have a personal interaction with an individual. . In a way, we all have a personal interaction with him through the media. Just read the column to the left and you will find the characteristics laid out by the DSM-VI It is necessary to observe the individual and to have a knowledge of the person's childhood. sorry, I deleted your remark by mistake

[vedicastrol]

I am not the only one who has made this observation. Clinical psychologists, and psychiatrists have noticed this as well. Just google Obama & Narcissistic Persoanlity disorder

[clarity2325]

where can i learn more about this chart ?

[vedicastrol]

yes he did have OCD and it killed him because he had a malignatn mandibular carcinoma, so they had to cut off his jaw. then he had to become an opium addict and committed suicide actually, because the pain was so great. The example you gave was pretty primitive. H2O. Heath Ledger was manic depressive and now he's dead. so mental illness is not a blessing.

[simplybornhuman]

Psychology is not a real science, it does not always work, especially on the intelligent who have complex and philosophically driven minds.

[vedicastrol]

Just like any science, it has its theoretical aspects. However, there is much truth in the findings of sincere psychologists and psychiatrists.I think that since you are 21, you may be just a little naive yet.

[simplybornhuman]

I agree. & i am not naive. Yes,might have left out that it does work in many or most cases, it is useful, but only if it is understood, but it is certainly no given, it is not a formal science. And yes, it does not always work the same way with more complex minds and lives. A misdiagnosis could spell disaster. Therefor, I think that psychology/psychiatry, should be known as best as formal assumptions, not a formal science, not logical truths, such as they use in chemistry, physics, or medicine.

[vedicastrol]

again, each so-called science, even physics, chemistry and medicine has gone through revisions, and will go through further revisions. Again Science is at best a number of empirical observations that can be completely canceled out at a future point by a new observation with more refined technology.

[simplybornhuman]

Yes, perhaps, but not completly so. In the sceinces, that i have mentioned, they could be used in practice, and be 100% accuate and sucsessful in every single practive they are put to the test to. ie. if i add gas hydrogen to oxygen in a test tube, they will 100% of the time, spark and produce water, same sucess rate cannot be said to every or even many principles in psychiatry.

IE: Einstien was said to have OCD, but what he achieved was wonderful, could he do the sam without it?

[simplybornhuman]

How much OCD did Einstin really have compared, to say your common avr joe sports fanatic?

What he done actually lead to something, howcould there be something wrong with that?

if everybody was the same, we would not achieve anything, and people would all be bored and boring, how is that not wrong?

[simplybornhuman]

i understand that certain condtions are illogical, and don't help anybody, but then only they should be considered illnesses. joy can't always be quantified. if somebody enjoys to do something, and it makes him/her happy, if they are honnest and understand what they are capable of, and contributes to society too, then i don't see any reason at all to be labled an 'illness'. sometimes, what is usual, is not always normal

[molloyx]

To posit that psychology and psychiatry are not real sciences is to say that schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, major depression and Axis II disorders such as, oh, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, happen not to exist. An astonishing supposition that, say, Scientologists would find quite comforting. Especially Scientologists who see themselves as too intelligent and complex to be studied. [ There is no certain cure for cancer, does this mean medicine is not a science?}

[simplybornhuman]

NPD is an disorder (and therefor it is still debatable, as nothing claims it to be a certain illness in all situations) . Schizophrenia is different, it is due to neurophysiology.

I am criticizing psychiatry, not neurology, and i also think that the solutions made by psychologists, may also not be accurate. Yes it is sometimes useful, but certainly not always, and certainly not for all conditions.

[molloyx]

Advances in brain imaging have revealed that in quite specific areas the brains of those who suffer NPD, Borderline PD, and AntiSocial PD are markedly different. Moreover, these areas are involved in impulse control, emotional regulation and cognition. As for your comments about psychiatry, anyone who has a loved one who suffers from any Axis I disorder, on appearing in a nuerologists office, will be immediately referred to a psychiatrist, who will then prescribe medications for them.

[holyjesus]

One thing is certain: scientific research creates grounds for discussion and debate. Psychology is in it's infancy, having recently developed from centuries of philosophy. It is a fledgling science that is beginning to be correlated as you note with imagery.

It's theories and constructs are subject to scientific testing, and is as such a valid science. As with all sciences, it ultimately results in a neutral body of knowledge that we then do what we will with. No science promises happiness.

[PNHassett]

I just assumed 'all' presidents of USA are narcissists.

Actually, Clinton's childhood is very similar to Obama, if you take away the race issue. I think the Bushs were spoiled rich brats, they came from a rich banking family. Reagan was just frick'n delusional with that hollywood crap in his head.......maybe Ford wasn't a narcissist. He really didn't fight for his presidency? Nixon was a narcissist, but compared to Reagan and the Bushs, he wasn't all that bad.

Seemed all narcissistic to me.

[whiff1962]

What kind of witch doctor crap is this you are trying to force feed the viewers. Complete, unverifiable garbage. Get a real education.

[snakefood2k1]

Hmmmm Obama was also born under the same Chinese Astrology sign as adolf hitler. The Ox.

[spoom1968]

Too bad they didn't scrutinized other Presidents so soon after they were elected into office, maybe the country wouldn't be in the shape that it is. Now Obama and those he pointed to work with him have a GREAT job ahead of them, to clean up a mess. If you ask me America is the Narcissist. We are the ones who have fallen in love with our own reflection, we are they ones who denote simple selfishness and egotism. And it didn't just happen since Obama came along.(

[vedicastrol]

oh, I tink the Press has done a pretty good job up until now. But they had a vested interest in Obama and wanted him in. don't forget he is one of the principle "community organizers" who forced banks to make stupid loans.

[voltagetoe]

Please do this kinda video ratherly from Bush, so that the bad and real pathological cases won't get repeated.

Obama is not a problem as he does not show signs of adaptive/reactive behavior. He feels what is right and wrong.

[dcalimited]

Interesting. He does seem to act like one who has NPD. Thanks for posting.

[aytherix]

If astrology can be used to diagnose a person's personality given their location and the arrangement of stars/planets at that time, then, assuming thats actually a reliable method, could astrology be used to determine where a person was born if given a set of probable locations, if the stars align to form that person's personality given the data on that personality is also accurate? This is worth looking into. I've heard of other applications for astrology, and the error margin was small.

[vedicastrol]

within reason. the position of the Moon is designated into nakshatra and then further subdivided into padas of 3 degrees and 20 minutes. each pada has certain qualities and characteristics. i have attempted that process which is called rectification in another video in which I was attmepting to figure out whether Obama was bornin Kenya or Honolulu

/watch?v=Cr1GhSvuGcs

[prschuster]

WTF? using astrology to diagnose a personality disorder? I can't take this seriously.

[doubleknuckled]

Sarah Palin earned all of the contempt she has received(as much of it came from Republicans as well as Democrats,) and it's ridiculous to characterize his answering of her baseless criticisms as narcissism. If Obama was truly a narcissist he would have attacked McCain instead of her. McCain and Obama were honorable, Palin, Hillary Clinton, and Rove were not, and the voters finally tired of this and put a stop to it.

[vedicastrol]

the MSNBC got punked with that false rumor about her not knowing africa a continent.

/watch?v=Yg4TdRcT6YU

[mostafa789]

I do not agree with Obama. I am ron paul supporter but this is BS.

[philokiko]

O CARA GANHOU A ELEIÇÃO PORRA

[LoopyNoche]

Attack a narcissits´s sense of grandiosity, and he will use his biting sarcasm. He will ruthlessly tear you apart and put you in your place. Obama has got the traits alright, he just loves to put people in their place. He´s always pointing out how special and grand he is.

[raron0126]

People want to call him narcissistic just because he does not hang his head down when he walks by people who think they have so much more experience than him. So he takes pride in himself and now he's got a disorder, he is always respectful of the other candidate. You don't see him stretching his eyes and making faces like the GOP does. Narcissistic is just your way of saying he's uppity and I don't like it!

[vedicastrol]

oh yes he was very respectful of Hillary, and how he allowed his minions to attack her, just like he let's his minions attack Governor palin.

[mspen1018]

Obama's behavior and demeanor towards the Sarah Palin situation is volatile and explosive, it is almost scary, it suggests Narcissistic Rage. Plus, all of those people who drank the electric kool aid so to speak who are like suicide bombers about that guy, figuratively. I wanted Hillary but I am a man.

Obama is destroyed over the loss of his Narcissistic Supply.

[Hanna611]

what the? Astrology??? Stick with DSM.

[revolutionarytruth]

just a clarification that astrology can give insight. DSM-VI is there too.

[busplunge]

pwesident

[vedicastrol]

DSM-VI "To the extent that people are pathologically narcissistic, they can be controlling, blaming, self-absorbed, intolerant of others' views, unaware of others' needs and of the effects of their behavior on others, and insistent that others see them as they wish to be seen. ambitious and capable, the inability to tolerate setbacks, disagreements or criticism, along with lack of empathy, make it difficult for such individuals to work cooperatively."

[xtraordinarymachine6]

You know what it is very sad the way you answer other peoples comments, if you think Obama has NPD ok then whats your point? how does this prevent him from being a president and possibly a GOOD president? who would be better? Hilary you say? thats great if you think that but she's no longer in the race and you need to accept that and stop bashing obama and his family on some dumb claims as far as mental health!

[xtraordinarymachine6]

if you are a democrat, you are one of the people who are hurting the democratic party and keeping it divided just becasue you wanna see a female president! its not about race, or gender its about keeping another bush(mccain) out of office! dont like obama? TOUGH LUCK! vote for someone else no one cares who you vote for, i sure dont, and before you start your comment off with the typical "age and where there from" yes im 21 yrs old and yes im african american but that doesnt mean anything!

[xtraordinarymachine6]

i wouldnt vote for obama just because im african american and hes mulatto, i vote for him cause i think he can do something great and hope that he means what he says. thats why people go for the canidates they do! just like i voted hilary for ny senator! and frankly i didnt like they way she ran her race, and as far as narcissitic goes hilary was that way throughout her whole campaign! yes it would be nice to see a female president, but changes come over time and maybe it just wasnt in the STARS

[vedicastrol]

Hi Kilana, nice altar you have. Well, I think that if one has a psychiatric illness, it should be taken into consideration. After all, his/her actions represent the free world.This is not the end of the road though, there is presently a law suit filed against Obama in federal court seeking to disqualify his candidacy. so it's not over til it's over.

[xtraordinarymachine6]

thank you... and that very well may be a good point, however political correctness and human rights have us opposed to discriminating against people with mental disorders. anyways i do not think that NPD would be much of a problem as lets say for instance... bipolar, schizophrenia or something along those lines, (myself having some sort of personal insight on these disorders) i would understand the inability to be president.

[mjac777]

Sheesh! Obama has done nothing honorable in his political history. Palin fought corrupt pols - Obama ENDORSED them. ONLY donation he gave was $22,500 to Wright's church. He is an empty suit,Machivillian,opportunist. That is why we won't vote for him. Women will decide this election. We only need 200,000 women to throw the election. Its that close. We now have MILLIONS... Bye Bye Obama. Watch and see...sucka!

[xtraordinarymachine6]

thats your view and your opinion and you and whomever agrees with you are entitled to that! who you dont like is your business, who you vote for is the same! i wouldnt care if you were voting for the senile father time thats running for president! i would like to see obama in office if he's not there the best i can hope for that it isn't father time! thats it and thats what i said to the person who made this vid! i feel sorry that you cant accept other peoples views and have to mock them instead

[vedicastrol]

Ok, You're a 22 yr old Australian student with theoretical, but no clinical experience. Not all politicians are narcissistic. FDR? JFK?LBJ?Churchill??Lincoln?Tho­mas Jefferson? No.

Obama is simply a George Soros-corporate straw man who got to where he is because the misogynistic press and the DNC can't stomach the idea of a woman president. Obama's days are numbered, as he is on a nose dive.

[vivaloriflamme]

I hope you are right.

[cockslutfartypants]

Reading through your comments you seem quick to discredit anyone who is not American. Do you think other nationalities are stupid? I have news for you.

[TrishtheDishNY]

@cockslutfartypants you seem to be projecting.

[donbadman1]

The parenst do not look int their own heart in order to answer childrens questions. So they may choose to spoil their children as part of the process in stopping the childern from asking the frightenning questions that take them to their heart(their greatest fear)

They may on the other hand treat the children very badly to achieve the same end.

[donbadman1]

Children do not geneticly inherit NPD. NPD is the inability to look into the heart and is an absoulute fear of the self. Parents teach children how to look into the heart. NPD parents can not do this because they can not look into their own heart and they can not feel or teach these feeling processes.

So, NPD parents raise NPD children.

[vivaloriflamme]

This is so true. My sister married one-- the son of an NPD mother, siblings all NPD. And now my nephew. Sad to see.

[RDpapichulo]

@donbadman1 I like your comment about being scared to look into your heart. You really explaines NPD in one sentence. Congrats!

[donbadman1]

This presenter is displaying NPD in the presentation, perhaps much more then the subjects of her discussion. NPD often uses this kind of ficticious mysterious junk in the process of rationalising outside the heart.

[cockslutfartypants]

You mean the poster is projecting her own disorder?

[donbadman1]

All politicians display all symtoms of nPD most of the time. It is a defence mechanism and those who do not use it are destroued by the media. There is no place in politics for Altruistic people.

The disorder is such that the behaviour is subconscious. The normal Narcissistic behaviour is not. Churchill Napoleon, Nixon, the list goes on, were defending their position with Narcissistic traits.

A person with the classic disorder will never make president. Getting there is too tough for a NPD.

[SerpentScribe7]

I don't know about the actual disorder, but Obama certianly is presumptous. He won't use the messiah language anymore because he saw how that knocked him down during the middle primaries, but the actions showing that mental process have started up again. As much as he seems to be fresh air, it really isn't worth it to continue supporting the two-party system for him.

[vedicastrol]

Hi serpentscribe. Yes I was very excited to hear about Cynthia and i have done both hers and Rosa's charts. i think they have a very good opportunity to shake up the system. The main issue i disagree with with Cynthia is her not voting for the Live Birth Protection Act, which Hillary did. Obama is the "full abortion' candidate. You can check out my videos on Cynthia and Rosa

[vedicastrol]

well let her vote for Hillary. Let the West point educated 4 star General win the war (which he's doing) this is not campaign fodder for a guy who doesn't even know that there was no bomb dropped on Pearl harbor

[vedicastrol]

well you're 21 yrs old and from Mexico. Have you finished your studies? have you done any clinical work? I have. And I am not the only one who thinks he has NPD.

[vivisecteur]

how stupid! of course he´s mad! obama is a genius!

if you carefeully enough looked around for mental diseases in the scientific communities or amidst highly paid creative or responsive professionals, that would be an army of insanes!

and he´s not acting as if he was president, thats your private "phänomen". he - very probably - will be president.

how can a "scientist" like you mix everything up like a fluffy milkshake?

[vedicastrol]

Okay, you're from Germany and you know nothing about astrology right?

He is now hiring a transition team for the White House.

Is that not presumptuous?

[vivisecteur]

transition team: no, not at all. it would be a waste of time and money, if McCain did :-)

[vedicastrol]

an other thing. he is not a genius. he doesn't even know how many states there are in the US. he doesn't know about WWII history.

He is a stuttering idiot without a teleprompter.

he said yesterday "Well Israel is a strong friend." Huh?

[vivisecteur]

first: I consider modern astrology a medieval "hokuspokus" just like alchemy. although, its something people are allowed believe in, just like going to sunday school, and thats really all I think about it.

second: his ability of free speech without a teleprompter is something negative? okay, I dont want to disturb your believe patterns on this issue

third: israel is a nuclear power. its citizens and espcially their relatives in the US control a good share of global investment.

[vedicastrol]

My point is he doesn't know history and how to win wars. He didn't sign up for selective service which was the law. Even on your own page you have an anti-obama video. I mean, you're not voting. I am. And, my dear, I don't want the Fuhrer over here. If you like him so much, there are a lot of us who would like you to keep him there. Can you get him the presidential suite at the Ritz? I'm sure that would suit his big ego. At least he gave you a free concert before his lousy speech

[vivisecteur]

my dear, my wife will vote. and: how do you know how to win a war? mccain was wounded and by the way the vietnam war was a defeat. obama didn´t say "win the war", but "end it".

and, you allready have a Führer (in his second term). your patriot act is a precise copy of the reichstagsbrandnotverordnung (google that)and your invasion to iraq was only possible do to a global appeasement policy. try this in iran and russia says bye bye.

you should not use terms that you seemingly don´t understand.

[cockslutfartypants]

Considering the US set up Israel after the war I don't find that odd. You do?

And Bush was a stuttering idiot, period - with or without a teleprompter. Obama's a breath of fresh air.

[vrajavala]

do you know what that word means, honey?

[RevolutionOfCG]

Very interesting.

[vedicastrol]

As I mentioned in the video, I'm not the only one who's noticed. the pubic is waking up. the African American blogosphere is really down on him and is starting to support a real patriot Cynthia McKinney.
