Reasons Not To Vote For Obama
Posted 11-02-2008 at 10:41 AM by mudwhistle
There are several reasons that Obama shouldn't be President of The United States. None of them are disqualifiers according to the Constitution but they are good reasons why he will never be a good President, and what we need now during these trying times is a President with sound judgement and solid principles, both of which Obama does not possess.
--------------------------------
Obama exhibits narcissistic tendencies.
Extreme infatuation with oneself, self-centered, expects to be recognized as superior
Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited power, success, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
Sees himself as “special” and should only have to affiliate with others of a similar stature
Takes advantage of others to achieve his needs
Demonstrates a constant need for admiration or approval
Exaggerates personal achievements while minimizing those of others
Is convinced that he is unique
Feels entitled to special treatment and that rules frequently don’t apply to him
Very charismatic or charming at first, but can quickly switch from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde without apparent cause
Demands compliance with his expectations
Is unable to demonstrate or understand empathy or compassion
Does not seem to feel real happiness or positive emotions
Often criticizes and/or puts others down
Assumes himself to be more knowledgeable than those around him
Quick to anger or feel insulted or slighted
Denies he has issues to work on – sees himself as nearly perfect
May often take unnecessary risks
Frequently humiliates or abuses others, although he doesn’t see it as abuse
Sulks when he doesn’t get his way
Nothing is ever his fault
Exaggerates the truth or blatantly lies
Rarely treats anyone with respect or kindness
Doesn’t acknowledge or respect other’s boundaries
Always wants to be in control
May drink and drive regularly
His needs for attention, time, and space matter – yours do not
Has difficulty putting himself in another’s shoes
Rarely recognizes the accomplishments or abilities of others
Doesn’t appear to have a conscience
Does not take criticism well and becomes defensive easily
Rarely expresses appreciation of others
Is easily hurt and insulted
Considers most others in the world “idiots”
Shows no feelings of remorse or guilt for his mistakes or the hurts he dishes out
Wins most arguments through the use of rationalizing his behavior
Blames others for all his problems
Frequently complains that whatever you do, it isn’t “good enough”
Is often paranoid – thinks people are talking about him behind his back
Has a hard time accepting the opinions or ideas of others
Always has to win any argument
Is often envious of others, or thinks others envy him
Rarely can understand another’s point of view
Hates to stand in line – he shouldn’t have to, as his time is more valuable than others
Leaves others feeling as though they need to “walk on eggshells” around him
Hates to be thought of as ordinary or average
Is desperate to have the biggest house, car, bank account, or title

Obama wouldn't be able to get a security clearance because of his friends and associates.

If Obama has to answer "Yes" to any of the above questions he would be a dangerous choice for POTUS.

Quote:
Unable to completely ignore contrarian opinion and data - he transmutes them. Unable to face the dismal failure that he is, the narcissist partially withdraws from reality. To soothe and salve the pain of disillusionment, he administers to his aching soul a mixture of lies, distortions, half-truths and outlandish interpretations of events around him. These solutions can be classified thus:
The Delusional Narrative Solution
The narcissist constructs a narrative in which he figures as the hero - brilliant, perfect, irresistibly handsome, destined for great things, entitled, powerful, wealthy, the centre of attention, etc. The bigger the strain on this delusional charade - the greater the gap between fantasy and reality - the more the delusion coalesces and solidifies.
Finally, if it is sufficiently protracted, it replaces reality and the narcissist's reality test deteriorates. He withdraws his bridges and may become schizotypal, catatonic, or schizoid.
The Antisocial Solution
The narcissist renounces reality. To his mind, those who pusillanimously fail to recognize his unbound talents, innate superiority, overarching brilliance, benevolent nature, entitlement, cosmically important mission, perfection, etc. - do not deserve consideration. The narcissist's natural affinity with the criminal - his lack of empathy and compassion, his deficient social skills, his disregard for social laws and morals - now erupt and blossom. He becomes a full fledged antisocial (sociopath or psychopath). He ignores the wishes and needs of others, he breaks the law, he violates all rights - natural and legal, he holds people in contempt and disdain, he derides society and its codes, he punishes the ignorant ingrates - that, to his mind, drove him to this state - by acting criminally and by jeopardizing their safety, lives, or property.
The Paranoid Schizoid Solution
When narcissism fails as a defense mechanism, the narcissist develops paranoid narratives: self-directed confabulations which place him at the center of others' allegedly malign attention. The narcissist becomes his own audience and self-sufficient as his own, sometimes exclusive, source of narcissistic supply.
The narcissist develops persecutory delusions. He perceives slights and insults where none were intended. He becomes subject to ideas of reference (people are gossiping about him, mocking him, prying into his affairs, cracking his e-mail, etc.). He is convinced that he is the centre of malign and mal-intentioned attention. People are conspiring to humiliate him, punish him, abscond with his property, delude him, impoverish him, confine him physically or intellectually, censor him, impose on his time, force him to action (or to inaction), frighten him, coerce him, surround and besiege him, change his mind, part with his values, victimize or even murder him, and so on.
Some narcissists withdraw completely from a world populated with such minacious and ominous objects (really projections of internal objects and processes). They avoid all social contact, except the most necessary. They refrain from meeting people, falling in love, having sex, talking to others, or even corresponding with them. In short: they become schizoids - not out of social shyness, but out of what they feel to be their choice. "This evil, hopeless world does not deserve me" - goes the inner refrain - "and I shall waste none of my time and resources on it."

The blog (reasons for not voting for obama) IMO describes such a wide array of (afflictions) and (personages) as to disqualify virtually everyone.

All or most of the things listed above are almost impossible to prove. But besides that one small flaw, I think it's all very good.Posted 11-07-2008 at 07:57 PM by AJG
