Here’s quite a rundown on Obama as pathological:

Leftist politicos tend to be chronic overachievers because they have suffered significant loss—often the result of the disconnect with their earthly fathers [says Mark Alexander at Patriot Post]. They subscribe to rigid doctrines and “nanny state” regimes to satiate their persistent insecurity, the result of low self-esteem and arrested emotional development associated, predominantly, with fatherless households or critically dysfunctional families in which they were not adequately affirmed.

Obama manifests all of these characteristics, and clinically speaking, there is a diagnosis. Leftists are pathological case studies of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, as outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—the standard reference used for psychiatric evaluation.

He is a cocky fellow, at that.  Because his Muslim daddy flew the coop when he was two to return to his tribal wife and their kids?

Later:

Reader B. objects:

BO will make a fine president.. his family problems–which probably caused him some pain and sorrow–will make him a humble and compassionate leader.

But here’s another apt comment by this fellow Alexander:

Obama is apparently undeterred [by arguments vs. raising capital gains tax]. His goal is not a robust and free economy that rewards work, risk, and ingenuity; it is instead a socialist redistribution of money from those who make it to those who do not.

The arguments?

Every time the capital gains tax rate has increased in the last 40 years, the investment market has suffered. When the capital gains rate has been lowered, investment has increased and tax revenues have increased.

And this:

Moreover, as is true of most tax increases, the middle class gets hurt the most. Many of the people who pay capital gains taxes are small-business owners, small investors or retirees. According to the IRS, 79 percent of those who paid such taxes had incomes under $100,000; 47 percent had incomes less than $50,000.
