Jim Meyers and Kathleen Walter report for NewsMax.com, Nov. 29, 2011, that former George W. Bush presidential adviser Karl Rove says Barack Obama is so arrogant, he doesn’t consider himself a “mere mortal.”
In an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV, Rove was asked if he has heard reports that Obama is a “loner.”
“I not only heard it, I had to deal with it,” he responds.
“During my time in the White House my job was to try to develop an informal relationship with him when he came to the Senate in 2005, and I saw him up close for almost three years.
“My view of him is that he’s incredibly smart. He can, if he wants to, be enormously charming. But he’s also the most self-aware person I’ve ever met in politics, which makes for a deadly combination. He is arrogant and aloof and diffident and doesn’t believe he needs to get his hands dirty with the normal work of mortals. He’s not a mere mortal in his mind.
“He’s developed no long-term and deep connection with the [Democratic] leadership. They like him, they respect him for having returned the White House to Democratic hands. But there’s none of the close friendship and close working relationship that you’d expect the president to develop with individual members of Congress.”
This is not news to those of us who have tried in vain to warn our countrymen sheeple about this, beginning in 2008.
That a grandiose narcissist is in the White House has frightening implications.
A narcissist is someone with a grandiose false self-image. This means Obama’s self-perception is skewed, which in turn means he has problems with reality assessment. The erroneous assessment isn’t restricted to his self-perception but speaks to an overall cognitive impairment, which means that we have no assurance of his ability to correctly perceive reality — of America and the world.
