Caligula? No. The horse (or horse’s ass) already entered the Senate. Perhaps he’s Eglabuis, who demanded divine honors, or a wanna-be Diocletian, who will re-make the state to resemble an oriental despotism, instead of having the form of a (long-dead) Republic. I favor the latter, as his rule, like Obama’s (so far) represents a sharp break with the past, and also because both built on the work of their immediate predecessors – Diocletian codifying the ad hoc efforts of the better “Barracks Emperors” as part of his remake of the Roman world, including formal serfdom and wage & price controls, and Obama building on Bush ’43s bailouts and extensions of the national security state.
In both cases, their efforts brought on the Dark Ages (or will, if not reversed).

Narcissism is a personality TRAIT. To qualify for disorder (personality disorder DSM-IV) one must exhibit one or more “traits” as a “lifelong pattern of maladaptive behavior”. One must be careful with clinical diagnoses though. Most great and/or powerful leaders throughout history could probably be “diagnosed” with a pathology or disorder.
The Obamessiah demonstrates narcissism but also grandiosity and difficulty with reality testing in regards to factual data considering history, economics and law. These “testing” failures are then apologized/excused through and by his narcissistic and grandiose traits.
