Is this what is happening to Obama?

Mr. Edwards’ ended his written statement by admitting that “sorry” could never satisfy his family and his supporters. He then offered this explanation: “In the course of several campaigns, I started to believe that I was special and became increasingly egocentric and narcissistic.” During his “Nightline” interview, Edwards expanded on that statement by saying that his rise from “a small town boy in North Carolina” who “came from nothing” to a successful lawyer, U.S. senator and national public figure “fed a self-focus, an egotism, a narcissism that leads you to believe that you can do whatever you want.” Now, all Edwards can do is watch on the sidelines as the fruits of his narcissism destroy his political career, cause untold stress on his dying wife, and do unmeasurable harm to his famil

    I thought that even before Edwards said it. He is so arrogant, so elitist, so anti-American.

    You have the phonies like Edwards, and you have Senator that feel presumptuous standing at attention and saluting the flag in non formal setting during National Anthem. How do the Edwards of this world act in non formal setting when Anthem is played. Obama 08

    On Edward's, It may be narcissism, but i find it very inspiring how he grew up from obscurity to what he is now. Unfortunately, like many in our midst, he allowed himself to be tempted a case of "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak". His own frank admission has muddied him more; but i always believed the ability of humans to rise from worst situation. Hope Americans forgive him and give him chance.

    Putting your own photo on a logo of organization's that you belong is probably a case of narcissism.

    Obama is also being investigated by the FBI for having a possible Love Child somewhere it was in the Globe Magazine, but who knows? The Edwards story was in the Enquirer and it was true and ignored for months.

    Obama is worse than Edwards b/c he's black. Thus, you have to throw in the element of false-persecution complex that Obmama has b/c he's black. Edwards, never had this complex.

    Obama is truly a worse narcissist than Edwards will ever be.
