A Shrink Asks:
What's Wrong with Obama?


Cuzzin Ricky brought this, what I missed, to my attention.  First thing I saw was this apparent lede --  The 9mm won't save your ass Obama!  It's actually an oddly placed advertisement for combat arms training, but it made me wet. 

Robin of Berkeley, a shrink from  ... you know,  begins ... "Obama's odd mannerisms intrigue a psychotherapist like me. He also presents a serious diagnostic challenge. "   Actually this is a good read even if it was about a nobody.  Here's a few snippets about Mr. Nutjob.

For one, Obama's teleprompter and the men behind the Blackberry keep him well-scripted. We know so little about the facts of his life.

But it's more than just a lack of information. Obama himself is a strange bird. He doesn't fit easily into any diagnostic category.

Many people attribute Obama's oddness to his narcissism. True, Obama has a gargantuan ego, and he is notoriously thin-skinned.

Yet a personality disorder like narcissism does not explain Obama's strangeness: his giggling while being asked about the economy; his continuing a shout-out rather than announcing the Ft. Hood shootings; or his vacations, golfing, partying and fundraising during the calamitous oil spill.

Take also Obama's declaring on the "Today Show" that he wants to know whose ass to kick. Consummate narcissists would never stoop to this vulgar display of adolescent machismo.

Obama is flat when passion is needed; he's aggressive when savvy is required. What's most worrisome is that Obama doesn't even realize that his behavior is inappropriate.

So if it's not just simple narcissism, what is wrong with Obama? Since I've never evaluated him, I can't say for sure. But I can hazard some educated guesses.

If I saw a client as disconnected as him, the first thing I would wonder: Is something wrong with his brain? And I'd consider the following theoretical diagnostic possibilities.

What the hell is it with Democrats? Bill Clinton almost certainly a sociopath, Algore completely unhinged since voters dissed him in 2000; John Kerry afflicted with pathologies that break new ground, Obama a  ... . .  I just read  Congressional Democrats think Americans want what they’re selling, by Gary Andres.  More of the same.  These people are so sure that they're right to the point of insanity.  Like I said, rabid dogs, all.

Michael Savage is an arrogant shite, (even I have caught him in many errors about things he says he studied, especially historical fact), but he hit the nail on the head with his trademark "Liberalism is a mental disease"
