Charles KrauthammerObama is clearly a narcissist in the non-scientific use of the word. He is so self-involved, you see it from his rise.Thereโs not anyone of independent stature around him. There was in the first term, because he needed them to prop him up. But now that he entered a second term, heโs the master of the universe, so thereโs nobody around him. He is impervious to outside advice, real advice that he takes.
