Narcissism and Obama

It seems that narcissism is one of the key character traits of Barack Obama. He seems to lack an understanding or appreciation or even association with the contributions of others. We first saw it in his disdain for his predecessor. When he was offered a book on the negative impact of the US on Latin America by Hugo Charez, written in the 1970s, he commented that at least he was not to blame because he was 10 at the time. As someone who was taught that we should have collective guilt for the transgressions of US history, this seemed odd.

Now others are noticing this. The British have been extremely helpful to Obama on many issues, including Afghanistan, yet they, along with all those countries assisting in Afghanistan, are never acknowledged.
