Likely some of you may have received an e-mail that speaks of the article written by Dr. Sam Vaknin on the narcissism of Obama.

Here is the truth of the e-mail and what Dr. Vaknin actually wrote. Just follow the links.

THIS PAGE (http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/o/obama-vaknin.htm) explains the e-mail and what Dr. Vaknin has said of it.

THIS PAGE (http://www.narcissistic-abuse.com/obama.html) is the official website of Dr. Vaknin where you can DOWNLOAD THE FILE (http://www.narcissistic-abuse.com/narcissistleader.rtf) which contains his article "Narcissistic and Psychopathic Leaders". What he says of Obama is on pages 76 - 94.

It is an interesting read. Pay particular attention to the first two paragraphs which read:

Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist. Scroll down for a detailed treatment.

Granted, only a qualified mental health diagnostician can determine whether someone suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and this, following lengthy tests and personal interviews. But, in the absence of access to Barack Obama, one has to rely on his overt performance and on testimonies by his closest, nearest and dearest.

ok, well, on the senate side...
Chuck Grassly is uppity some times, but I think certainly not narcissist.

He's been pushing for some time now for the congress/including the senate,
to Have to comply wirth the same laws thay pass. Just like the regular folks.

Congressional Staffers Complain About Double Standard in Health Care Law
Come 2014, all 100 U.S. senators, all 435 representatives in the House and every one of their personal aides will have to go to the newly formed state exchanges for health insurance -- just like everyone else in the country who isn't covered by their employer.

But select congressional leadership staffers -- some of whom wrote the health insurance act -- won't. And neither will White House staffers and Cabinet members -- nor the president himself. They will be allowed to keep their current plans, which are offered to all other federal employees.

And now many congressional aides who like their current health insurance policies and will be forced to switch are asking: Why?

Name a poster on this board who doesn't have some narcissistic trait (cato excluded)

With Obama you could write case study and make a text book on the diagnosis.
