Very hard to argue against Dr. Vaknin's diagnosis. Obama refuses to man up to his dismal performance as president. Instead, he blames everyone else for failing to grasp his "genius". Sounds a lot like a certain Austrian dictator who brought so much destruction to Europe in the 1940s.

@Pattycakessmiles I would like to second this comment. I though we were about getting the information out? I would like to make it perfectly clear to all my Friends here, if I send you a video in no way do I care if you give me Credit for it or not. This is ridiculous and it should be put to rest. There are plenty of Useful Idiots out there we should be fighting with, not ourselves over "Credit" for simply finding a video. No disrespect to anyone but can we please move on?

I met my first narcissist in 2010 - I was taken in by him and got away from him after I diagnosed him as a sociopath and narcissist - he was abused by his father and that is what makes his terrible view and scary life style - these three years with Obama I can see it so clearly that he is a narcissist and probably a sociopath - his decisions are death to our country

Obama is *definitely* a sociopath. No question.

Lol jeans I realized this was made by a narc. Oh the irony. Obama knows how to channel the extreme stress of the presidency in to influential energy. He is about 10x more emotionally and interpersonally intelligent than Sam Vaknin can ever hope to be, and that my friend is exactly why Vaknin made this video.

omg how judgemental just because u have these appearances isnt conclusive, anyway what about other president's much more narcissitic, eg richard nixon decoupling gold from american dollar etc, obama hasnt even done anything really narcissitic compared with other presidents in america so how can u be so judgemental???

@compukenny so did gandhi, mother theresa, martin luther king, jesus, and almost every professional singer, actor, etc.

The god part was really only jesus, he probably did have a personality disorder though

Does Obama actually think he is God? Can you prove that? Try to find me legitimate proof.

Actually, the video "freedom from conscience - psychopaths" describes why psychopaths have all the traits needed to do well in politics. I would say that on a per capita basis Washington DC has more psychopaths than anyplace else on earth.

Hitler was charismatic and inspiring too. So was Jim Jones, So was David Caresh and other leaders throuout history. They all used their "power" to get people to conform to their will. The latter two examples saw themselves as god. So does Obama.
