WTF? Seriously, should he go around like Bob Dole and refer to himself in the third person? Other than Dole, what sane person does that?

How about this, if we're derping: during the NAACP speech, Romney used "I" 71 times but "me" a mere seven. The former is narcissistic, but the latter reflects someone who lacks confidence. Do we really want a president unsure of himself?

Ah, another story about how the black president is "cocky". Nice.

I'm sure there's no historical precedent for people calling black males cocky or narcissistic that relates to racism at all. It's all just honest coincidence from concern third parties.

Finished that for you. An honest mistake.

Somebody post a picture of W in a flight suit on an aircraft carrier so we can see what a real narcissist looks like.

Come on, there's a pretty good chance he didn't even know where he was or what he was doing.

Isn't being a narcissist the beginning to any thought process that ends with "You know what? I think I *am* qualified to be leader of the free world?"

He's just so goddamn uppity.

Pincy: Obama should start referring to himself in the third-person. That's how the kids are doing it nowadays so he'd get the youth vote. Plus, how cool would that be?

He should go with second-person. Really mess with people.

There is different between a strong, healthy ego and Narcissistic Personality Disorder.. A President suffering from NPD is likely to have grandiose delusions, like Obamacare, for example. That's not good.

This is spin. Narcissism and NPD are different things. The article claims narcissism and not NPD. NPD appears to be SkinnyHead's "professional" opinion.

So in addition to our own internet dentist, we now have an internet psychologist?

That counts out virtually every politician we have.

Oh cool, so that just means that Romney will never become president.

dervish16108: That counts out virtually every politician we have.

No, he said "leaders". We have very few of those.

platedlizard: Bloody William: Okay, seriously, were we this bad and nonsensical with Bush?

I like to think we weren't, but let's face it, there be some loonies on the left. I joined right around the 2008 election so I don't really know, though. I do remember some hysteria about Bush not giving up office or something like that. That was funny.

We also had the "Not My President" t-shirts. Full retard works like a pendulum, every four years.

So, is this idiot talking about Romney, because every time I see Romney speak, he's basically giving himself a blowjob.

If you want a real narcissist, I have the answer for you:



His Italian shoes are worth more than your car.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

So, basically what you're saying is, Obama would be a good President if he lowered his expectations?

Do you realize how monumentally stupid that proposition is?

SkinnyHead: He doesn't lack empathy

L O farkING L

SkinnyHead: Those are all Obama traits.

Which you would be happy to provide examples of, yes?

/but you're trolling, so you won't

SkinnyHead: Not at all., Romney doesn't display a grandiose sense of self-importance. He doesn't have grandiose delusions (like Obamacare). He doesn't require excessive admiration. He doesn't have a sense of entitlement, i.e.,unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his expectations. He doesn't lack empathy. He doesn't shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes. Those are all Obama traits.

Show me on the doll where Obama touched you.

Zerochance: Do you realize how monumentally stupid that proposition is?

Of course he does, he's el chip.

If Skinnyhead had any self-awareness to begin with, he would have left with his tail between his legs YEARS ago.

Or better yet, light some candles and play Michael Bolton's "Can I touch you... there?" while you tell me in a soft voice where Obama touched you. I'll be under this Afghan... but if you see something moving under there, don't worry, it won't hurt you.

actually, Romney fits that definition better than Obama does.

Yeah, there were some loons out there on the left in the Bush days, definitely. Not that Bush didn't throw them plenty of red meat from time to time. But they weren't nearly this prevalent.

Dole did that like two or three times, and it was in referencing hypothetical choices from the perspective of the voter (eg. "you have to chose between voting for Bob Dole or voting for Bill Clinton"). It was a little strange, but not a pathological behavior by any means. It does sound hilarious and unhinged when used in everyday speech, which is why Norm McDonald latched onto it and used it repeatedly. It was a Norm McDonald trait, but he did it really well which is why we remember it as a Bob Dole trait.

Zerochance: You know what, I'm going to be that libtard that says "it's racism" and go ahead and attribute this kind of criticism to the fact that Obama is black.

Every single POTUS has to have a healthy ego. It's intrinsic to the position. You have to be a narcissist to a decent level to decide that you are the most fit person to be leader of the free world and arguably the most powerful person on earth. Even if Obama is guilty of greater arrogance than your average POTUS, at least he has the historical weight of being the first black president to back it up. If I was the first of my kind to be President, I'd walk around thinking I have a 20-inch cock too.

People that criticize Obama for perceived arrogance or narcissism are simply people that are not used to to seeing non-subservient black people in positions of power. That's it. Colin Powell had a deep sense of humility to his accomplishments and he was thrown under the bus. Condoleeza Rice is a sycophant for her administration. Obama is the first prominent black politician that I can remember to wield his power without apologizing for it, and it pisses off the republitard brigade.

Pretty much this.

It's a throwback to slave days. When a slave "made it up to the big house", it was a sign of "prosperity" and cause for pride.

But don't you dare call them racist.

I think you have to be a bit of a narcissist to run for President of the United States. Saying "I'm the most qualified person to lead a country of 300 million people" isn't something humble people do.

We need a President with the sort of deep humility that Mitt Romney has exemplified all his life.

Odd group-think thread.

First laughing at others, then questioning of self, then introspection and then awareness. Followed by rationalization which begat defensiveness and then just petered out into general pointless farkitude and farkhavior.

Specifically, the actual leftist internet media (HuffPost, DailyKos, TPM, etc.) was nowhere near the level of insanity the right-wing internet media currently occupies.

This is the kind of thread that's going to leave fark with 3 guys that have 15 alts doing all the posting.

Only Libbylib Demnocrat Commielibs can be narcissists. Conservatives are not narcissists. What looks like narcissism in a Conservative is actually called "confidence".

I love this picture of the president. It's nothing more than snapshot of one second in time in which he briefly adopted a pose which could be interpreted as "arrogant," "snooty," etc. Photograph anyone enough times and you're bound to come up with a thousand just like it.

But Republicans actually think he walks around like that, making people kneel and kiss his ring before they can address him, as "the All-Powerful and Magnificent Muslim Black Man in Chief." They attach all their fears to this image like they're participating in a two-minute hate, and they trot it around expecting others to see the light about the president's "arrogance" as soon as they see it. It's simultaneously the dumbest, funniest and saddest thing I have ever seen.
