In earlier posts, I have expressed concerns regarding the emotional stability of President Obama, including using words like “psychopathic,” “delusional,” “extreme narcissist,” and ”pathological.” These characterizations came from someone not versed in psychology or psychiatric, but were based on observations. Other people, including those better versed than me, have expressed similar opinions.
Perhaps you should decide make your diagnosis. Howlin’ at The Moon website provides the guidelines by which you might judge:
Who is Obama — Really?
Well according to a generic psychiatric profile of the “psychopathic personality” Barrack Obama appears to be exactly as defined:
1. GLIB and SUPERFICIAL CHARM — the tendency to be smooth, engaging, charming, slick, and verbally facile. Psychopathic charm is not in the least shy, self-conscious, or afraid to say anything. A psychopath never gets tongue-tied. They have freed themselves from the social conventions about taking turns in talking, for example.
2. GRANDIOSE SELF-WORTH — a grossly inflated view of one’s abilities and self-worth, self-assured, opinionated, cocky, a braggart. Psychopaths are arrogant people who believe they are superior human beings.
3. NEED FOR STIMULATION or PRONENESS TO BOREDOM — an excessive need for novel, thrilling, and exciting stimulation; taking chances and doing things that are risky. Psychopaths often have a low self-discipline in carrying tasks through to completion because they get bored easily. They fail to work at the same job for any length of time, for example, or to finish tasks that they consider dull or routine.
4. PATHOLOGICAL LYING — can be moderate or high; in moderate form, they will be shrewd, crafty, cunning, sly, and clever; in extreme form, they will be deceptive, deceitful, underhanded, unscrupulous, manipulative, and dishonest.
5. CONNING AND MANIPULATIVENESS- the use of deceit and deception to cheat, con, or defraud others for personal gain; distinguished from Item #4 in the degree to which exploitation and callous ruthlessness is present, as reflected in a lack of concern for the feelings and suffering of one’s victims.
6. LACK OF REMORSE OR GUILT — a lack of feelings or concern for the losses, pain, and suffering of victims; a tendency to be unconcerned, dispassionate, coldhearted, and unempathic. This item is usually demonstrated by a disdain for one’s victims.
7. SHALLOW AFFECT — emotional poverty or a limited range or depth of feelings; interpersonal coldness in spite of signs of open gregariousness.
8. CALLOUSNESS and LACK OF EMPATHY — a lack of feelings toward people in general; cold, contemptuous, inconsiderate, and tactless.
9. PARASITIC LIFESTYLE — an intentional, manipulative, selfish, and exploitative financial dependence on others as reflected in a lack of motivation, low self-discipline, and inability to begin or complete responsibilities.
10. POOR BEHAVIORAL CONTROLS — expressions of irritability, annoyance, impatience, threats, aggression, and verbal abuse; inadequate control of anger and temper; acting hastily.
11. PROMISCUOUS SEXUAL BEHAVIOR — a variety of brief, superficial relations, numerous affairs, and an indiscriminate selection of sexual partners; the maintenance of several relationships at the same time; a history of attempts to sexually coerce others into sexual activity or taking great pride at discussing sexual exploits or conquests.
12. EARLY BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS — a variety of behaviors prior to age 13, including lying, theft, cheating, vandalism, bullying, sexual activity, fire-setting, glue-sniffing, alcohol use, and running away from home.
13. LACK OF REALISTIC, LONG-TERM GOALS — an inability or persistent failure to develop and execute long-term plans and goals; a nomadic existence, aimless, lacking direction in life.
14. IMPULSIVITY — the occurrence of behaviors that are unpremeditated and lack reflection or planning; inability to resist temptation, frustrations, and urges; a lack of deliberation without considering the consequences; foolhardy, rash, unpredictable, erratic, and reckless.
15. IRRESPONSIBILITY — repeated failure to fulfill or honor obligations and commitments; such as not paying bills, defaulting on loans, performing sloppy work, being absent or late to work, failing to honor contractual agreements.
16. FAILURE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR OWN ACTIONS — a failure to accept responsibility for one’s actions reflected in low conscientiousness, an absence of dutifulness, antagonistic manipulation, denial of responsibility, and an effort to manipulate others through this denial.
17. JUVENILE DELINQUENCY — behavior problems between the ages of 13-18; mostly behaviors that are crimes or clearly involve aspects of antagonism, exploitation, aggression, manipulation, or a callous, ruthless tough-mindedness.
God help us, Obama’s not yer ordinary Stalin-styled Communist dictator, he’s also a psychopath in the psychological mold of Adolph Hitler. It’s gonna be a real interesting year, 2012.

Barack Obama is not psychopath, simply because he does not have the psychopathic eyes.
A couple of months ago I did nearly nothing about phychopathy since I fall victim of workplace psychopaths
(2 women my boss and my supervisor). Both of them are at extreme level and not a moderate psychopath. Since I had this horrible experience I joined the aftermath ‘ surviving phychopathy forum of Robert Hare.
I studied and learned a lot about phychopathy. An ex colleague told me once, that Psychos have strange eyes. I could not understand that time what he meant by ‘strange eyes’. Then I decide to do the ‘eyes test’ and indeed psychopaths have dead, empty eyes. Their eyes do not speak to you. Moreover when you look at their photos and you cut the eye part from the rest of the photo, you see a mismatch between the upper part and the lower part of their face. When you look at psychopathic eyes in photo, you have the feeling that you want to take your eyes away from them immediately. When you look eye photos with border line personality disorder, you just see dead eyes but you do not have the feeling to turn your eyes away from their eyes immediately.
The eyes of Barack Obama do not generate this feeling. His eyes are neither dead nor empty. On the contrary, the eyes of Bush and Berlusconi generate this horrible feeling.
Do the test and you will see. We cannot put everyone in the same basket.
Psychopaths exist everywhere, their eyes reflect their brain abnormality. They are not many. Phycopaths alone cannot harm or damage.
‘The world is not a dangerous place because of evil people but because of the people who do not do anything about that’. Albert Einstein
One problem as I see it is that these psychopaths are becoming the norm. We see this constantly as liberals attempt to portray conservatives as the mentally deranged and liberalism as the norm. While there may be a few honest liberals left, nearly all are psychopaths. They have warped reality and in their bubbles they view and understand an entirely different universe than the rest of us see.
As they rewrite history and interpret our realities through the liberal prism, mankind will eventually be enslaved. Modern technology will make it impossible to overthrow our masters and as the world has gotten very small, there will be no place to hide. Once empowered, liberals cannot tolerate our existence.
Wow, how depressing, I must be in a depressed mood this morning.
