Obama just as bad as Blagojevich's narcissism, behavior
On July 6 the Daily Herald ran a piece that talked about Blago and narcissism. The headline was "A bad case of loving himself." A separate inset was included listing 9 traits of people having a narcissistic personality. Some of these were: 1. A grandiose sense of self-importance; 2. Preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power and brilliance; 3. Believes they are unique; 4. Has a sense of entitlement; 5. Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes. The other four traits are similar to the above.
My immediate reaction in reading the article was that one could substitute Barack Obama for Blago and the article would not miss a beat. President Obama is stuck on himself and one need look no further than his use of the "I" pronoun in his speeches. His willingness to publicly ridicule American citizens by name when they oppose his positions, to name two, think the policeman in Massachusetts and the Governor of Arizona. In the latter, the President and his inept attorney general, Eric Holder, have had the gall to sue the state of Arizona over their immigration law, which at one point they admitted they had not even read it but just knew it was bad. You see, the President doesn't care if the majority of Americans have a different opinion, his is the only one that counts.
In a more recent incident the Department of Justice dropped a case against the "new" Black Panther organization. In it the two men were convicted of voter discrimination outside a Philadelphia polling station. The two, one of whom was carrying a police billy club, told voters they "were going to find out what it is like to be governed by a black man, cracker." The DOJ attorney who prosecuted the case resigned in disgust and said that cases such as this involving whites versus blacks were not to be reviewed. Hard to see the transparency in all of this.
If you have the chance, go online and read the article of July 6 and make your own evaluation. President Obama won the election because Americans believed his message of change. He lied then and continues to do so. Four years is all he deserves.
