The 'Savage' Nation - Michael Savage interview

While I don't always agree with Michael Savage ("The Savage Nation" radio show, and "savage" it is, at times), I know he's no dummy. He's multi-degree'd, has a very long and robust history, and most interestingly, was once a Democrat...until he saw the light. :) He touts himself as an independent, but I think he's independent with a right-leaning bent.

Here is an interview with Newsmax. Toward the bottom of the interview Savage has a couple of very observant things to say about Obama:

Newsmax: Do you think she’s (Sarah Palin) affected Barack Obama’s psyche?

Savage: Yes, absolutely, in one major way. He was the center of attention; he’s a narcissist and he’s used to being adored. The minute she came along and she became the center of attention, the narcissist in him started to flail out and make mistakes, such as the pig and the lipstick comment, which I spent the whole show on, analyzing him, claiming he has an Oedipal complex and he has a woman problem. But that’s a little off topic here. Absolutely, she is upsetting him because she is now the center of attention, not him. And like a petulant adolescent, he’s starting to look very, very, very boyish and he’s also starting to say things that are not very presidential.

Newsmax: You’re giving him a little psychoanalysis.

Savage: Oh yeah, I spent all day on this yesterday, on the Oedipal complex, and what it means from a Freudian perspective, and why he has a woman problem. It’s a fact that his mother was flighty and often abandoned him to pursue other men, to pursue men and her studies, and left him with the grandparents. He’s always been sort of like an abandoned boy.
