influence that narcissistic celebrities have on
today's youth. In a recent interview with
Amazon.com, Obama said negative influences
such as Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
didn't distract him from his pursuit of the
American dream when he was a kid. Obama
blamed today's confluence of narcissistic, self-
obsessed traits on the influence of Kim and
Kanye and reality TV shows.
Read his exact words below:
"The American Dream involved some pretty
basic stuff. A good job where you felt some
security. A good education… People felt if
they worked hard they could get there… I
don't think people went around saying to
themselves, 'I need to have a 10,000-square-
foot house'… I think, there has also been a
shift in culture. We weren't exposed to the
things we didn't have in the same way that
kids these days are. There was not that
window into the lifestyles of the rich and
famous. Kids weren't monitoring every day
what Kim Kardashian was wearing, or where
Kanye West was going on vacation, and
thinking that somehow that was the mark of
success."
