Narcissus Obama and his Hall of Mirrors
Posted By John Moore on July 30, 2009
For a long time, educators and others thought a big problem with our children was their lack of self esteem. So they prescribed all sorts of nostrums, so the kids would love themselves. It worked, producing hoards of selfish, narcissistic individuals.
There is no better example of this than Barack Obama. Here we have a man, praised by everyone (morseo because praising a black is the “right” thing to do). He is a child of privilege, attending only those Ivy League schools which instruct their students on how special they are, further inflating their narcissistic tendencies.
He has all the answers. He’s so full of himself he wrote two autobiographies before the age 45!
Now he is the president. He knows everyone else is beneath him in their goodness and their intelligence – after all, they elevated him above them
And we are seeing the expected result: wildly ambitious plans to shape the world to his image (or his wishes). Top down, driven by one man – Narcissus Obama.
And, like Narcissus, he has fallen in love with his his image reflected off the fawning press and the worshipping left.
And like Narcissus, he (or his dreams) will perish in this hall of mirrors. The ground will fall from beneath it, as his ill conceived economic plans destroy the nations foundations.
His subjects will rise up – not willing to be told how to live their lives by this beautiful, flawed figure. They and the inexorable forces of reality will thwart his plans.
His image will shatter on the rocks of this failure.
What happens to Narcissus Obama then?.
Wow…I’ve read your blog, at least some of it, and while it would be dishonest of me to say I haven’t felt indignant or angry at times because of some things you’ve said, I must say that your usually unusual opinion makes quite good if slightly discomfiting reading. Being Nigerian, I used to support Obama and his policies wholeheartedly and unquestioningly, partly because he’s black and has traceable African roots. But your blog has given me pause and I will take a more objective view henceforth.
