I don't like him, either.

Well at least he likes dogs.....as long as they're properly cooked.

From an online Medical Encyclopedia:

Antisocial personality disorder
(Sociopathic personality; Sociopathy; Personality disorder - antisocial)

Antisocial personality disorder is a mental health condition in which a person has a long-term pattern of manipulating, exploiting, or violating the rights of others. This behavior is often criminal.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The causes of antisocial personality disorder are unknown. Genetic factors and child abuse are believed to contribute to the development of this condition. People with an antisocial or alcoholic parent are at increased risk. Far more men than women are affected.

First misanthrope president?

obama prefers to be worshiped from afar. he does not want to breath the same air as the great unwashed.

Interesting, but I think he's just a jerk, #3.

But, but, Obama does like golf.

If this were true, wouldn't our crack investigative journalists have found these items during their months and months of vetting of this nothingburger?

I've long thought this was so. Nixon was another politician who really didn't like people, but Nixon was way smarter than Obama.

He may be in politics but certainly not in the traditional ways, or having risen by the traditional public paths.

Maybe it's a short step from notliking people to using your position to hurt them.

This has the ring of truth to it.

But he loves the POWER he gets out of the politics. That is the key.

The American voters are to blame for projecting their hopes and unrealistic expecations on this hollow man! In the end, We, the People have only ourselves to hold accountable for electing this hate filled, know nothing political animal!

#3 – There may be little difference, but does he suffer from an antisocial personality disorder, or a narcissistic sociopath disorder? I believe that he is more narcissistic than antisocial, but definitely has antisocial issues.

~~ bitter clinger

Feeling's mutual.

He doesn't like America either.

Do I detect a hand of Bill Clinton gently urging "Forward" on this subject. Hmmmmmmm......a get even method without getting those white gloves dirty.

This just proves that most people aren't paying attention, because to those of us who do pay attention it's obvious he holds most people in contempt. If you really listen to what he says, he truly isn't likable at all.

So a person goes into politics because they "like people?" Neera likes people? This from the head of the Center for American Progress, a liberal organization.

Therefore, I reckon Marx, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao liked people.

There is only ONE person he likes.

Himself.

That's ok because we really don't like him either.

To be fair, if we permitted him a little choom on the job, he might be a totally different person.

The pathological narcissist hates everybody and everything that is not himself because the mere existence of anything besides himself is an affront and a threat to his omnipotence. How DARE something exist that is not part of me and under my control! Obama doesn't just reject other people and their opinions, he actively despises them for existing at all.

Americans got their best glimpse into the heart of darkness that is Obamaworld in the amazing photo of Obama embracing a life sized replica of himself. Truly, a picture is worth a thousand words.

He likes people like Stalin, Mao, muhaMMad and other dead despots, and Castro and Chavez.

Doesn't surprise me one bit. He only likes Sponge Bob and other cartoon characters, oh...and those in his very tight inner circle.

Odd really, since he works for the American people.

#19, not every successful politician "likes people" -- but almost every pol who is successful is also pretty good at faking that he likes people.

Take Bill Clinton, for example. Clinton is just as much a narcissist/sociopath as Obama; but he learned early in life to fake concern for other folks. "Ah feel yer pain."

Who was it ... the late George Burns, I believe, who said that "if you can fake sincerity, you've got it made"?

Obama differs from Bill Clinton in that he won't fake a sincere interest in others. He thinks he's just too damn good for that.

Good point, #14. The narcissist has an insatiable sense of entitlement. People are used and discarded (as in "thrown under the bus") without a second thought.

When caught, the narcissist simply continues on, acknowledging nothing and taking no responsibility anything.

Obama does like Tyrone and he even called up the Philly Eagles to put in a good word for Michael Vick.

I think #'s 3, 14, and 23 all have valid points. Add some drugs to that to make him think he is above all.

Nixon was nothing compared to this man because of Zippy's companions.

Would have worked out fine, but his job title is slightly incorrect. Instead of being POTUS, he should be dictator (ya know, like Idi Amin), he would be fine with the job. As we have it now, we are still a first world country with a third world dictator in charge.

My wife is a patient of an ear/nose/throat MD. The guy encourages patients to call him Larry, or Dr. Larry. Presumably that's because it is a very high net worth area. Many patients have education equivilent (JD, etc) or patients household income over $10Million (inveswtment bankiing)

Just saying, obama was a fad, but he doesn't fit in with many, many Americans. Better in a third world country.

Ideological Marxists in general do not like people.

After all, they were the ones to coin the term "the masses" to refer to us, as if we were blobs of soul-less protoplasm.

The feeling is mutual.
