Start of School Speech Scandal

Words just can’t quite impart how bad that stunt truly was, and had this been done by a Conservative, there would have been impeachment hearings before the first day of school.

The whole mess was, yet, another Narc Ploy to be the center of attention.

Get everyone all riled up, and say nothing while the tempers flare hotter and hotter.
Send out his little puppets to smear the opponents, thus adding fuel to the fire.
Get everyone, even those without children, so angry that they will want to watch the speech to make certain he isn't pulling anything.

(How to make everyone watch you without you pitching a fit, or demanding they watch).
Then... on the eve of the event... post the (second, third or weekend draft) to make the opponents look stupid for ever doubting him.
　
So What were all the D List maneuvers or Narcissistic behaviors surrounding that School Speech?

The Speech and everything he did with it, was manipulative; a narc’s most successful tool.
He announces that he is going to present a speech to every school child in America. It is an unwritten rule that when the President of the United States says, ‘Jump!’ You Jump! This is Obama’s need to be the center of Attention; it reinforced his Narcissistic sense of Entitlement; it offered some distraction from the debacle of his healthcare bill going up in flames.

This was a narc’s need to further the Delusions of themselves to an audience who would be highly susceptible to the message. Narcs have a unique ability to find those captive audiences who won’t be able to respond negatively or will automatically be respectful. Speaking to children in an educational setting would place an undue burden on them to ‘comply’ or be punished academically and socially.

Obama did NOT release a transcript of the speech. He hid the content of his speech, even after the uproar against it. This action follows the psycho-pathology of Deception, since his 'Administration was going to be one of Transparency.' Refusing to post the speech points to a greater probability of ulterior motives in the maneuver; otherwise, he would have followed through with that Transparency Promise.He sent curriculum to the schools to be used in association with that speech; which on the surface sounds like a highly intuitive person to help the teachers utilize the opportunity for further learning.

However, all recommended research Materials were exclusively about Barack Obama, which is another attempt to further the delusions about himself; to elevate his importance in the world, and feed those fantasies of Power, Brilliance and his personal Success.

The curriculum he provided DID NOT discuss the Office of the President, nor any other president, nor what the Constitution says about the role of the President; in other words- there was all this material focusing on Obama, but no Civics Lessons to justify the President providing teachers with a study plan for his own speech. This is that need to continue the delusions of his Specialness and restricts any comparisons and critical thinking that could diminish the delusions about him.

The Curriculum questions and suggested reading gave Clues to the content of the Speech, and the Clues pointed in a completely different direction than the reported topic. Bait and switch, distract, detour... tell folks one thing to get them in the room, and then surprise them with the true nature of the event.

The Secrecy, the questions placing an undue burden of compliance on children, all research material focusing on the man and a lack of civic’s lessons...This method of withholding the information that folks wanted, and providing only Clues as to what ‘else’ he would be saying to the children....This is classic passive-aggressive manipulation and it’s Deceptive.

Then to dodge responsibility in the mess, and to try to ‘get everyone to like him, again,’ he changed the curriculum and the government website to reflect his ‘new and improved’ version of the facts. He also sent out half a dozen folks to slander, defame and attack the opposition. At no time, did the officials offer a copy of the speech; no where did they offer Facts; just derogatory opinions about the opposition.... which is more manipulation and just adds more weight to the deception: why didn't he release the transcript of the speech, as soon as the fit hit the shan?

Everything about the way he handled this disaster...all the secrecy, the passive-aggressive manipulation with the Clues, and the ‘changing of the official site’ to hide his malfiecience... all of it is deceptive.

The problem could have been easily avoided: Be Transparent. Say what you are going to do, then do what you said. Release the Speech beforehand.
