Since his campaign in 2008, I have wondered about this man, Barack Hussein Obama. I’ve wondered if he has a mental disorder. I’m not saying this in a flippant manner. I really wonder if the man is mentally sick.
I began doing research in 2008 regarding the character traits that were blatant in BHO. I would do word or phrase searches, which would invariably lead me to one diagnosis — Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
FROM MAYO CLINIC:
“Many experts use the criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association, to diagnose mental conditions. This manual is also used by insurance companies to reimburse for treatment.
DSM-5 criteria for narcissistic personality disorder include these features:
Having an exaggerated sense of self-importance
Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
Exaggerating your achievements and talents
Being preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
Believing that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people
Requiring constant admiration
Having a sense of entitlement
Expecting special favors and unquestioning compliance with your expectations
Taking advantage of others to get what you want
Having an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
Being envious of others and believing others envy you
Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner.” [1]
I expected to see a blurb on BHO right under the list of symptoms of this illness; then I remembered this was from Mayo Clinic. As I read each trait, I could not help but marvel at how close they characterize our president.
Let’s look at the traits:
Having an exaggerated sense of self-importance
Barack Obama has, from the start, projected an arrogance that was hard to miss. Some people even said that he had a Messiah complex. The night of his first victory, celebrated in a stadium decorated like a Roman coliseum, was a clear picture of how he perceived himself.
Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
What had he done, and more importantly what has he done in his life as president, to be recognized as superior? Before he won the election in 2008, he had been called the most liberal Senator ever, and voted “present” a good portion of the time — that means he took a pass on voting. Before he served as a State Senator in Illinois, he was a community organizer. That’s a fancy term for a Socialist Agitator.
Exaggerating your achievements and talents
We heard all about him being a professor of law at Columbia University. It turns out that he was a substitute teacher. He loves to speak (as long as he has his beloved prompter) because that is what he does best.
Being preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
It’s quite obvious to anyone who has read even parts of his biography, that he has had his eye on our White House for many years. He yearned to “Fundamentally transform America.” Now we know that means destroy us! And don’t forget those selfies BHO took with the very attractive PM of Denmark, at Nelson Mandela’s funeral.
Believing that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people
Many times, when he has been questioned by the conservative press, he has responded with disdain, and with a condescending air about him. He does not consider the people on Fox News to be special as he sees himself. He considers Evangelical Christians to be gun and Bible toting people — obviously much beneath himself.
Requiring constant admiration
He gets this admiration from his liberal media. But when he is not admired by a conservative press agent, he becomes enraged. We watched recently, when Major Garrett, who used to be on Fox News, questioned him about leaving our hostages in Iran. Obama was not happy with Garrett, and acted like a juvenile.
Having a sense of entitlement
One of BHO’s favorite things to say is “I have a phone and a pen.” He loves to threaten, and he has implemented numerous executive orders while Congress was out of session. He rammed a Healthcare bill down the throats of Americans and a screaming Congress. And now he has endangered the entire world — mostly Israel, by signing a deal with Iran, which will enable them to have nuclear weapons.
Expecting special favors and unquestioning compliance with your expectations
This man has trampled on the office of the Presidency like none other in history. He cares not what the American people want — he knows (or thinks he does) what America really needs. He expects us to be okay with having the Muslim Brotherhood as guests in the People’s House. It angers him that Christians will not bend about gay marriage, and compromise the Word of God. It makes me wonder how close we are to re-education camps. Hard times for Christians are coming for sure.
Taking advantage of others to get what you want
He wants to disarm us, and with every mass shooting he takes advantage of it to this end. We don’t see emotion or compassion from him. Honestly, I’ve never seen these traits in him, and that is alarming.
Having an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
Have you ever seen Barack Obama show heartfelt emotion about anything? Even after the Ft. Hood slaughter of 13 soldiers, when BHO was about to comment on this on the same day, he started it with a shout out to a particular group. Then he spoke of the workplace violence, instead of calling it an act of Islamic terror. I have often wondered if this man is unable to feel compassion.
Being envious of others and believing others envy you
I have only two words for this one: FOX NEWS.
Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner
Have you watched his press conferences??
I titled this piece “Malignant Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Barack Obama.” I want to explain that. When a person’s NPD has progressed to the point of committing criminal acts, doctors attach Malignant onto the name of the disorder.
I wonder – when the Lord looks at Barack Obama, does He see a man with NPD, or does he see a man with magnified SIN? Psychiatrists love to have labels for every type of unusual or deviant behavior. They are just guessing, because who can know the brain? Only God!
There are very wicked people in this world. Some of them make their way to prominent positions. Could a person such as Obama have a demonic spirit within him? Again, only God knows.
Many Americans believe that Obama has committed criminal acts, and should be removed and tried for treason. I am one of those Americans. This man has changed the fabric of our once great nation. We may as well say that we are now a Socialist nation.
In November of 2014, the people spoke loudly and took back the Senate, and retained the House with extra seats. Have we seen any changes? I haven’t. Have you?
I believe that BHO has threatened people and their families. I cannot prove this, but I can’t come up with another explanation as to why things have not changed, or why Republicans are voting for disastrous legislation, i.e. Obama’s Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).
God put Barack Obama on his throne. America deserved him. How can we not understand this? God was thrown out of schools, government; and even saying a prayer is against the law (in most states). God was booed at the DNC of 2012. We are allowing the slaughter of millions of babies, with tax payer’s money helping to support Planned Parenthood. Our SCOTUS legalized gay marriage, nationwide.
Obama is the only president who has been considered an enemy of Israel since 1948. The signing of the Iran deal is the worst thing anyone has done to Israel, apart from attacking her. It’s as though he takes pleasure in putting Israel in harm’s way. His disdain for PM Netanyahu is a scary thing to watch.
Israel now stands alone among the nations. Again, God’s prophetic Word is being fulfilled.
The Lord is watching over His people, Israel.
“I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed”
(Genesis 12:3).
Do we really believe that God should bless America again? I would love to believe that, but I must say that I deeply believe that America’s greatness is behind her. God made us great. America rejected Him. I believe that He has taken away His blessings from us.
But, God is in control.
His prophetic Word is always being fulfilled!
Pray for the lost and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
“Like a roaring lion and a charging bear
is a wicked ruler over poor people” (Proverbs 28:15).
MARANATHA!
