Obama slighted his enemies in speeches and interviews all the time, he just had a slicker way of doing it. Who needs to threaten the press when they've got your back?GrumpyCatFace wrote:He said that was a stupid thing to do, and it was. I agree that it wasn't wise to say that to the press corps, but it's not the same as reacting to personal insults, and threatening to restrict the press, now is it?PartyOf5 wrote:Obama generated racist sh&t. Remember when he called the police stupid for doing their job when a black professor broke into his own house and then refused to provide ID of who he was when the police were called?

He was a bit unstable, though.

Nah, he kind of answered your question. Whatever your opinion of Lincoln, he definitely was not a narcissist. He as ambitious as hell. He was ruthless. But not really narcissistic.

Re: Alternative Facts
He is appealing to his base and pivoting. Having his cake and eating it too. Patriotism is the cure for Prejudice, if you buy the narrative that his speech was dark and only appealed to his base then you are brainwashed by the mainstream media.GrumpyCatFace wrote:He's clearly appealing to his base, but he should be above that, as a president. There's a whole fucking lot more to this country than Trump's base.

Re: Alternative Facts
Lincoln is only less narcissistic than other POTUS's. Compared to the general public though, he was a pretty big narcissist. I will not lower the bar for narcissism just so that one POTUS can qualify.Speaker to Animals wrote:Nah, he kind of answered your question.

Either you don't know much about Lincoln or you don't understand the definition of narcissism.

Re: Alternative Facts
He was a politician who wanted the top job in the country because he thought he could do better than anyone else. Whether he was right or not, and his intentions were good do not matter, that's narcissism incarnate. No POTUS qualifies. When you view yourself that highly you are a narcissist whether you claim it's to help the people or you do help a lot of people, these things don't change that fact.Speaker to Animals wrote:StCapps wrote:Lincoln is only less narcissistic than other POTUS's.
