Sam Vaknin is a specialist in malignant narcissism who has concluded that Barack Obama is an “extreme pathological malignant narcissist.” The two YouTube interviews below are voice only. They’re easy to listen to while you do other stuff. I’m listening to the 2010 one as I do this and it’s fascinating. I highly recommend you delve into this topic, because it’s likely that the Obamacare-induced plunge of Obama’s approval ratings is very likely to set off some dangerous behaviors.
2008: Vankin’s first article suggesting Obama was dangerously narcissistic appeared in 2008.

I’m listening to the 2010 interview while I do stupid stuff and just heard starting around the 7:30 mark about “pronoun density” which is how many times someone says me, my, I, myself.
You know how often we’ve seen pronoun counts for The Øne’s speeches! This guy says pronoun counting is used by shrinks as a DIAGNOSTIC TOOL for whether someone is just a big fat head or is actually a “malignant narcissist.”
Ooh, then he gets into “adversity threshold” … how often a person snap at the people around him. Also a clinical test.

Wow … this was taped in November 2010. At 37:30, he begins talking about the 5 ways narcissists react to defeat. Talk about prophetic. Yowza.

The links aren’t to BHO. They’re to interviews with Vaknin talking about what a soul-less SOB BHO is. I esp liked the 2010 interview, because he predicted what we’ve since seen happen, which adds a TON of confirmation to his diagnosis.

Sam Vaknin has a good understanding of Malignant Narcissism and psychopathy because he IS a (self-diagnosed) narcissist. I’ve come across a LOT of his work in my research, but hadn’t heard these interviews! Thanks, Chrissy!

I was raised by a Malignant Narcissist, actually, who kicked me out as a teenager, sabotaged my family relationships and ruined my wedding. Years later, she did the same things to my little brother. He and I no longer have any contact with that side of our family. Part of my therapy was reading up on the disorder, so I could recognize and avoid it when I came upon warning signs in others. The first time I watched Ø speak, I knew he was one of THEM.

Interesting, I saw my step father in BHO the first time I heard him speak as well. I think that is why he never sucked me, from that very first convention speech. He had “I am the future King of the world” all over his smug face.

Well, that explains why some of you ladies were so quick to recognize the bad juju going on at the end of the HT a while back. Some of us take forever to figure it out. Over Thanksgiving I spent a lot of time talking to one of my aunts raised by the MN in our family (my grandmother). GM’s long gone, but that entire side of the family is still in total, utter shambles. This aunt is bright (PhD, retired professor), but she is unable to see things very clearly at all, morally or otherwise. She’s an Obamanista for one thing. Not much more I have to say about that. 😦

I just came across a long 2010 article about Obama’s foreign policy and it’s got notes I made all over the margins about how this that and the other were typical of adult children of abusive caregivers.
I’m not surprised your aunt is still in the thrall. That’s also typical. There are two basic categories of dysfunctional abuse survivors …. those who become their abusers so they can stop feeling helpless and those who find their abusers in others so they can continue the vain effort to stop the abuse by being perfect enough.
As Violet said, it’s essential to healing that we understand what was done and how we chose to cope, so we can make healthier choices in the future.

I’ve never looked at it that way, Chrissy. My aunt might see an appeal in Obama (and in other leftist associates) that is a continuation of the old abusive relationship. Goodness. I have no idea how to combat that, though. Current plan is to keep showing love and gentle disagreement. Maybe that will work eventually.

IMHO, prayer and fasting are the most potent weapons you have.
The first step in healing for someone like her is to admit she was powerless to stop the abuse. It’s a seductive lie we abuse survivors cling to that our caregivers were not bad, dangerous people who did the opposite of love us and keep us safe. Maintaining this lie is what fuels the persistent efforts to recreate the original abusive relationship.
People desperately need two things: love and safety. To admit one was helpless in the past is to sacrifice the illusion that we can control what others do to us. Abuse survivors who choose to stay in abusive relationship do so because they need to believe they have control, that the only reason the abuser does bad things is because one was somehow not good enough, not smart enough, not pretty enough, not something enough.
See how that provides an illusion of control? It’s kool-aid and unicorns, this delusion that I can ensure a life of love and safety by just finding the magic formula for being ENOUGH. In a sense, abuse survivors stay in abusive relationships because it makes them feel safe and loved, despite the fact that they are anything but.
Admitting one was a victim in the past and that one has actively engaged in repeating the original abuse is a HUGE step. I had a few people in my life who recognized and tried to tell me about what my mother was doing to me. They were the last people I would’ve gone to for help when I was ready to deal with it, because I didn’t want to hear, “I told you so.”
I guess you gotta decide if you want to be the fog horn or the harbor for your aunt. Regardless which you choose, you can help her mightily through fasting and prayer. Anyone who has been this damaged is most certainly being encouraged in her abuse-addiction by evil spirits who have hooked into the wounded parts of her soul.
Mark 9:14-20 … “This kind can come out only by prayer and fasting.”

Listening now to 2011 interview. It shows this guy is a European, the way he says “everyone was in love with him” and those of us who say we knew Obama was bad news in 2008 are jumping on the bandwagon. No. I read his first article in 2008 and said, “Hell, yes.” And duh, 45.7% of the voters picked that doughy pile of nothing much.

Also not getting it where he thinks Barack was raised in a “largely white” environment. Indonesia is brown all over and Hawaii is so hostile to whites that they have a slur name “haoli” for us.
In 1979, when my brother (managing a 5 star hotel on Maui) asked me to come for the summer because the only whites on the island were tourists and retired billionaires so while he had his job, his wife just had a toddler and was getting loopie with boredom and loneliness.
I said I’d love to, but my fiance and I didn’t want to be separated for several months so close to our wedding. I didn’t see the problem with the manager of a huge resort hotel finding a job for one guy with construction skills, but it was a problem, because that one guy was WHITE.
So we stayed in Massachusetts and wifey got loopy enough that bro quit his job and moved his family back to the mainland.
