Title: Understanding Obama's Personality
Post by: Psycholitics on August 17, 2011, 09:10:01 PM
I came across this great article about Obama's personality type and its affect on his presidency. I found it pretty insightful. What do y'all think?

"Barack Obama  is unique in American presidential history. By virtue of his biracial identity and international upbringing, Americans believed they  were breaking the mold when they elected the first African American president in 2008. Yet, for all the distinctiveness of his life experiences, there is still something else that sets Obama apart in the hall of presidents - his innate, natural temperament.

According to personality psychologist David Keirsey, temperament is the part of our personality that we are born with. It is our default mode of perceiving and processing information, and it colors how we respond to, and grow through, the events of our lives. Keirsey theorizes that each of us falls into 1 of 4 basic temperament types: Artisan, Guardian, Rational, or Idealist. A person's type indicates that they have particular character traits, values, motivations, skills, and decision-making styles.

In his book, "Presidential Temperament," Keirsey examined the temperament types of forty U.S. Presidents and made a surprising discovery: in 220 years of elections, there had never been a president with an Idealist temperament. Despite the fact that Idealists comprise at least 10 percent of the population, no Idealist had ever occupied the White House -- until Obama.

The reason behind Obama's singularity in American history is a fascinating mystery, which can be solved by examining his life, his decisions, and his temperament."

There's a lot more to the article. See the source for the rest! I think it's pretty accurate. Anyone (dis)agree?

Obama is no more and no less than a Malignant Narcissist.  This makes him a shitstain on the asshole of America.

Very few of the decisions that "made" his life were made by him, but by those who groomed him.

Makes him ideally suited to be led around by the nose by Axelrod and Soros.

The article is all wrong.  Obama grew up leaching off of others.  He has an entitlement mentality, and is a Marxist and as pointed out, a self-absorbed amoral dunce.  He thinks that success should be punished so that failure can be rewarded.  He and his beast of a wife hate rural American, Bible believing, law-abiding gun owners.

That's all you need to know.  He is a piece of garbage.

I think you are trying to post satire as fact, noob, and as such you were more than worthy of the bitchslaps you were given.

Any more questions?
