If you read my book, you know my feelings on this subject. However, I feel the need to bring it up again in light of recent events.
Bush recently gave an address in which he repeatedly referred to himself in the third person…in my opinion; this is always a tell-tale sign of narcissism. I know it may seem harsh to suggest that Bush might be a narcissist. So let me clear on my position on this topic by including an excerpt from my book:
“Bill Maher, the brilliant host of Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO, recently suggested that Bush might be a paranoid schizophrenic. While I have never met the man and would never attempt to offer an explanation for his behavior, I would like to ask those who know him intimately if he might exhibit narcissistic tendencies? I think it is clear that he has delusions of grandeur. Whether he exhibits some of the other characteristics of a narcissist is not for me to say. He has only increased the terrorist’s hatred of us and hurt our foreign relations. Yet, despite all the evidence, he cannot admit when he is wrong.”
We need a president who respects our Constitution and remembers the words of Abraham Lincoln in his famous Gettysburg Address: “that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth.” Our president ignores the polls and does not acknowledge the voice of the people on the subject of this war. We need a president who will listen to the people of the country he governs…not a president who is only into himself.
