I have chosen four paragraphs and a sentence from the transcript of that conversation which are below. If they peak your interest then watch the video. I know, I know - who has an hour to spare! But it is those can't quite put my finger on it thoughts you have had, things you have observed, and/or just your gut level knowing something that, unfortunately, this video validates and explains, and it again, unfortunately, points to a very real danger we face every moment "he" is in the oval office.

The author's credentials are not noted here in an effort to keep this from being a thousand word post. See links. A note to PumaBydesign001 - I am immensely grateful for this information. Forewarned is forearmed. One other critical thing here, keep in mind, this videotaped conversation was held very shortly after the 2010 elections.

"People find it difficult to make the distinction between their
traits, and shortcomings, and frailties, and the narcissist, because we
all have a modicum of narcissism. We all have what is called healthy
narcissism. Without healthy narcissism, we would not look out for
ourselves, we would not have personal boundaries, we would not be
ambitious, we would not pursue goals, etc., etc. So, healthy narcissism
is, as the name implies, healthy.

The
malignant, or psychopathic, narcissist lacks empathy. In other words,
he lacks the crucial faculty of feeling human, of experiencing what it
means to be human. The narcissist is, to a very large extent, a form of
artificial intelligence, sort of an alien in the truest sense of the
word, because he has never experienced humanity, or humaneness, and he
cannot empathize with other people; he cannot put himself in other
people’s shoes. He cannot feel for them, because he also lacks the
emotional apparatus; he lacks emotions, or at least, access to his
emotions.

"Now,
if the narcissist is a local butcher, or neighborhood barber, then the
damage is limited. But if he happens to be the president of the United
States, it's a calamity. It's an apocalypse."
* * * * * *
And
now that the narcissist sort of has made up his mind that people are
stupid and pusillanimous, and so on, he becomes anti-social. He begins
to hate the people who have rejected him. And as he hates them, he
becomes a kind of psychopath. This is actually the transition from
narcissism to psychopathy. He begins to ignore the wishes and needs of
people. He breaks the law. He violates other people's rights. He holds
people in contempt. He attacks society, and social codes. He punishes
people because they are ignorant, and they are ingrates.
* * * * * *
When
the narcissist is faced with defeat, he actually invents a conspiracy,
invents some kind of persecutory delusion. He attributes his defeat to
external forces—we call it alloplastic defense. He says, "The world is
guilty, the universe is guilty, this group of people defeated me, on
purpose." He becomes a paranoid. And then there are frequent displays of
indignation, righteousness, condemnation, blame—you know, using the
bully pulpit, and this is the paranoid-aggressive, or explosive,
solution, which, in my view, is the solution that Obama is going to
adopt, come next week.
