Quote :

"The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders fourth edition, DSM IV-TR, a widely used manual for diagnosing mental disorders, defines narcissistic personality disorder (in Axis II Cluster B) as: A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following: 1. Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements) 2. Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love 3. Believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions) 4. Requires excessive admiration 5. Has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations 6. Is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends 7. Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others 8. Is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her 9. Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes"

1. He graduated with a PhD, became a state senator, then a US Senator, and then President. That certainly qualifies him as an achiever who is important. Where is the lack of "commensurate achievements?"

2. What?

3. Again, what evidence?

4. See above.

5. He's the elected leader of the country. Why shouldn't he expect people to follow him?

6. Evidence?

7. Seriously? Conservatives complain too much about his empathy. See: Trayvon Martin.

8. Evidence?

9. This could go into "uppity negro" territory.

kdogg(c) is a trip. He's been posting that same post for a few years now. It seems his biggest gripe with Obama is that he's "narcissistic". As if that's any different than almost any other politician (or other person in power) in the world.

8/7/2013 10:10:19 AM

I heard that kdogg(c) was going to start a lobbying group to tell the nation how narcissistic President Obama is


... except kdogg(c) didn't think he was important enough to start it and had no fantasies that it would succeed. It also hurt his cause that no one admires him

It's kdogg(c)'s way of saying "uppity," I think.

If we had recall elections on the federal level, I'd totally vote against Obama at this point. But why a college-educated person can't dislike a person's politics without attributing the disagreement to mental illness is beyond me.

+100 for asking Congress's approval for Syria intervention

I really didn't see that one coming

9/1/2013 12:58:55 AM

+100 for following the Constitution? You know, that document that he swore to uphold?

Well, it certainly flew in the face of most of the TWW prognasticators

9/1/2013 8:54:49 PM

You know there's going to be massive pork on any congressional vote.

And what if congress approves it, not for humanitarian reasons or because a burden of proof was met, but because it means a legislator will have a bargaining chip in his pocket when he wants a new fighter jet part manufactured in his district?

Seems like putting soldiers lives and the fate of another society in the hands of overwhelmingly rich, white men wheeling and dealing to keep themselves in power isn't necessarily a better solution.

The Constituion isn't a religious document, it's a terse, vague, racist, sexist, classist document that serves as the basis of the ever growing US Code, and centuries of legal precedent.

if you want to be so blatantly racist about it, let's not leave out the race of the guy that's asking congress to start another war


look -- white, black, yellow, purple... doesn't matter what color these people are or what they consider their god to be.. we don't need another war and the president is the one running his mouth on national tv trying to get it going

9/2/2013 10:44:54 AM

Ha that's not racist...

Point is that what the Constituion says or doesn't say has exactly zero bearing on what's right or wrong thing to do, ESPECIALLY when it comes to war.

Agreed, but -75 points since he said he would probably act without Congressional approval if they didn't approve any military action

"I know, I'll follow the rules for once and go to congress. They hate me, they won't go along with anything I want to do. They'll reject my little war, and I can blame them for it."

This president is coated with more teflon than John Gotti.

9/3/2013 2:26:36 PM

I'm not sure why you conservatives, or republicans, or obama-haters (i'm not sure what to call you) think he did such a terrible thing. As is often the case with folks like you, it seems that his biggest mistake is that he is Obama.

How would you have prefered him to handle this situation?

I listened to Rush a bit today (usually helps get me a get a good idea of what the conservative talking points du jour are), and he was mad that Obama asked Congress at all, which is ridiculous.

If Bush were in office, most of the Republicans against the strikes would be for it, and most of the Democrats for it would be against it.

He said if Congress doesn't approve of action that he will do it anyway. If it hasn't been clear from my posts, I'm against any action, congressional approval or otherwise.

Not absurd to ask congress, but it's absurd congress is trying to micromanage the operation.

SEems ridiculous that congresspeople who have no concept of how to wage a war are able to dictate things like "no ground troops... ever". If the "experts" we've hired to do the job (generals etc.) determine ground troops are needed, that should be an option.

It's naive to thing we can just do some bombs and be okay. The use of force should be authorized or not and leave it up to the people trained in creating military tactics to sort the details.

9/3/2013 5:38:27 PM

Why is it absurd for members of congress to make sure they don't send their constituency off to die?

9/3/2013 7:37:33 PM

I don't think anyone is arguing that it is. Congress is supposed to authorize the war, the executive branch actually steers it.

Congress should be where most unpopular wars get shut down, at least if there were any justice.

9/3/2013 8:32:49 PM

moron is

If I were a senator or house member, I'd like to have the flexibility to say "I'll vote for your little war, but only if you don't put any of my people on the ground there."

9/3/2013 9:44:22 PM

^^^

Because they don't know anything about war, and shouldn't be running one.

Don't tell generals to drop some bombs but don't ever consider use ground troops. Tell the generals to solve a problem, and see what they propose.

It's like telling a web designer to build a site but not to use JavaScript.

Or having an engineer to design a car, but telling them they can only use a v8 engine.

It's noble, but naive.

We're going to be killing people, likely have some innocent civilian casualties, pissing off Russia and China. If we're going to do this, all options should be on the table. It's not ever, and never ever has been, as simple as blowing up a few factories. Our politicians are blind to history if they think that would work, because it has never worked.

^ it's that type of thinking why politicians are so corrupt. They have control over things they have no business controlling, and they exert this influence with sophomoric ignorance. They are the living embodiments of http://arstechnica.com/science/2012/05/revisiting-why-incompetents-think-theyre-awesome/

The soldiers are there to fight, dying is the risk they take when they sign up. If we don't want to risk their lives, then we shouldn't be doing an offensive bombing campaign. But we shouldn't be half assing it.
