Pres Obama Watching Four-Hour Documentary about Presidents' chiefs of staff.HT: WhiteHouseDossier.By Keith Koffler.
Yeah, you read that right.President Obama is in the White House family theater watching a four-hour documentary about the presidents’ chiefs of staff. He started at 5:20 pm ET, so assuming he’s watching the whole thing, he’s about halfway through as I write this.
I mean, my God. I couldn’t sit through a four hour documentary about myself.
At least the film, “The Presidents’ Gatekeepers,” concerns something related to his work. I’m willing to bet lots of the former chiefs of staff have shown up at the White House to watch it with him. Some of them are quite old and may be dead before the screening is over. I imagine it will be difficult for Obama to excuse himself and leave them to sit through this on their own.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the producers of this monstrosity shot 70 hours of interviews and “whittled” it down to four hours. Sounds like this was put together by a bunch of pack rats.
Anyway, among those interviewed are Rahm – of course – Dick Cheney, who was chief of staff to Gerald Ford, and Leon Panetta, who served as Bill Clinton’s chief of staff.
Narcissism is a term that originated with Narcissus in Greek mythology who fell in love with his own image reflected in a pool of water. Currently it is used to describe a person characterized by egotism, vanity, pride, or selfishness. Narcissism has included particular meanings in specific fields:
- A concept in psychoanalytic theory, introduced in Sigmund Freud's On Narcissism
- An Axis II disorder, Narcissistic personality disorder, in DSM-IV
- A social or cultural problem
- A factor in trait theory used in some self-report inventories of personality such as the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory
