ANOTHER ASPECT OF PSYCHOPATHY: SHIRKING RESPONSIBILITY

One of the cardinal features of the diagnosis of psychopathy that I mentioned in an earlier post, here, is "failure to accept responsibility for own actions."

That is also a cardinal feature of Senator Obama's standard modus operandi. Here's the latest example:

Just hours after his campaign issued a first statement Friday ripping the addition of Sarah Palin to the Republican ticket, Barack Obama backed away from that statement — or at least its tone — and said that his own campaign had misrepresented him.

As the article at Politico notes (hat tip: Insty), "The latest disavowal of his staff’s comments on his behalf or in his name continues a tactic Obama employed repeatedly during his contentious battle with Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination." Politico has many examples of this behavior from the primary campaign.

Jake Tapper at ABC News has written extensively about Senator Obama's penchant for blaming everything on his staff. Back in May, he counted 14 examples of how Senator Obama blamed various screw-ups on his staff.

This evasion of responsibility is a key feature of the psychopathic personality. Senator Obama acts like a psychopathic megalomaniac.

Vote accordingly.
