This guy is a genius. His knowledge on the subject is overwhelming. Until one has been involved with a TRULY "text book" narcissist, the doctor's knowledge on the subject will not impress. However, being a victim myself in the past makes me realize just how spot on the doctor is.

[Magelhais83]

I had two clinical narcissists in my life (still have one) and I can tell you that everything Sam Vaknin says about narcissists is so completely dead on it's ridiculous. Think of it this way, Vaknin is getting his narcissistic supply from having the best insight in the world about narcissism and then presenting it to people and getting amazed reactions that way.

Why is Bush being discussed with regard to this video? What pathology drives some people's irrational hatred of Bush? They need psychotherapy. Seriously. Get help, tiresome Bush haters. To comment on the video, I have long felt Obama is a sociopath. A narcissist, I figured, was a given. The teeling thing for me is his thinned skin reaction to criticism, and the arrogant belief in his superiority. It would be fascinating if he were not the leader of the free world. Instead it is frightening.

@Cheryl Williams "this guy" is not a genius, nor is he a doctor, he knows so much on the subject because he IS the subject...he is a narcissistic psychopath. NOT a doctor. Just letting you know.

i said Bush is a psycho not Obama...maybe Bush is just a Sociopath and not a Psycho,but again if you can sleep at night after being responsable for the death of at least 300000 people i guess it makes you a psycho...Obama is a narcisist,no emphaty as you said,a lot of superficial charm,and yes most of the presidents of the world are sick individuals.

[YTAtlantean]

Yeah but all that still doesn't make him a psycho

What Vaknin basically means is that the most important part of Obama's brain, empathy is either missing or not functioning, hence he's not what you would call a human being. Then again most world leaders are psychos.

[Márcio Damin]

yeah but he knows it

[Márcio Damin]

i'll analyse bush.He's dumb,uninformed,member of a secret society,a puppet of the globalists,he never kept a job in his life,was able not to serve in Vietnam cause his last name is BUSH,he dislike simple folks,does not know the english language well ''how is our children learning'',walks around with his hands beside his body like a cowboy in the wild west,never wrote the book that they say he did,is responsable for the deaths of more then 300000 iraqis...he's a psycho...

[Márcio Damin]

Do some research,He hasn't released his real birth certificate,only a copy(by law if a copy is presented you have to presenr the real thing wich he didn't)He never defended a case as a lawyer.He mer his father after 2yro once for a couple of hours and wrote a 500pages book of what he learned from his parents.His campaign was founded by people in Saudi Arabia,he has 4 social security number,one from conectiicut where he never lived,and has connections with known terrorrists...wake up...

Farrakhan called Obama the Messiah...Jamie Fox called him "Our Lord and Savior"... you haven't heard anything because you hear only what you want to.

[Shasha8674]

Obama is New age....what you think/focus on may happen/attract...learned from Oprah. I see him enjoying concerts/perks. Many people did think he was a savior at first...but he did not live up to that. Few people are ready to be president in experience. It takes a strong person to keep being positive in the public eye.

[lesababy]

Sorry but I've only heard people call the President the messiah when they are being hateful.
