Take George W. Bush,

for example.

(But I forgot…

Bush was Evil,

and Obama is Good.

Well,

that explains it.)

Last week’s coordinated Obama

attack on Fox News made no

PR sense.

Fox increased its

viewership by 10%.

Obama lost points in the polls;

you can give the American people

only so many demonstrations

of the Chicago Way before they

figure out you aren’t the

Great Healer after all.

Obama is far and away the

biggest and most naïve

narcissist in living memory

to occupy the White House.

.

.

.

He hasn’t been smoothed and

polished by years of deal-making

in the Senate like LBJ.

The outrage looks like it was

just an uncontrollable expression

of who Obama and his crew are.

If we get more of this,

Obama’s carefully buffed sheen

will be permanently damaged

for the saner 70% of

the population.

The other 30% will

always fall for him anyway.

Pathological narcissism

is a reflection of weakness,

not strength.

Tom Bevan at RealClearPolitics

points out how much of it has

been happening in less than a

year of this administration,

including months of

a honeymoon period.

Obama constantly uses wild

and irresponsible accusations

against his perceived enemies.

Bevan writes:

In the first nine months

in office President Obama

and/or members of his

administration have accused

doctors of performing

unnecessary medical

procedures for profit;

demonized bond holders as

‘speculators’;

produced a report suggesting

military veterans are prone

to becoming right wing

extremists;

attacked insurance companies

and threatened them with

legislative retribution;

ridiculed talk show hosts

and political commentators

by name from the

White House podium;

dismissed and demeaned

protesters and town hall

attendees as either

unauthentic or fringe

characters;

maligned a white police

officer for arresting a

black man without knowing

the facts of the case;

launched an orchestrated

campaign to marginalize

the country’s biggest

pro-business group;

and publicly declared war

on a news organization.

When Obama runs

into brick walls,

he seems to reflexively

go into a state of rage.

.

.

.

Bill Clinton was the same way,

and so was LBJ.

But Clinton and LBJ had a lot

of time to learn to moderate

their own worst instincts.

The best thing that ever

happened to Bill Clinton as

president was the election

of the Gingrich Congress

in 1994,

which forced him to

deal with reality.

Jimmy Carter has been on

a constant narcissistic revenge

campaign since he lost to

Ronald Reagan and never

got a second term.

It explains a lot about Jimmy’s

amazing destructiveness against

his favorite whipping boy,

Israel.

The same thing will happen

to Obama if and when he loses

the election in 2012.

Since narcissists in power

keep people around them in

a constant state of fear —

everybody gets targeted

and feels insecure —

you can expect a ton of dirty

tricks in elections to come.

But then Democrats

constantly use dirty tricks.

.

.

I fear two things with Obama.

One is if the GOP fails to elect

a House majority in 2010 to

keep Obama within the bounds

of sanity.

A GOP majority is essential

for the safety of the country

and the world.

But even if Obama is

defeated in 2012,

he will just turn into an

angrier version of Al Gore

and Jimmy Carter.

He will haunt the political

future of this country as

long as he is alive,

because that famished ego

never gets enough.

Malignant narcissism often

gets worse over time.

And on the Left

and among blacks,

Obama will still have love

and adoration enough to

keep him supplied.

He is an easy target for

flattery by the Saudis,

even the Iranians —

in fact,

by all the real enemies

we have.

So even if the voters throw

out this very dangerous

cult-like administration,

you can expect Obama to

be popping up in our politics

for years to come.

He will haunt the Democrats,

which might be a good thing.

But he will haunt the

United States as well,

even if he is defeated in 2012.
