So, as was said before our current president can't be more obviously narcissistic. However, from just reading the original article I had no idea how much so. I learned two things from the biography section at the White House website. #1, I'm a bit of a history nut and that section is a time vampire for you history nerds out there and #2 Obama is probably the most self-absorbed person imaginable. Here is the link and some examples:
I will start your tour with Calvin Coolidge. At the bottom of this biography is the first of the self-absorption. It continues for every president going forward to current. My favorite one has to be here:
President John F. Kennedy famously suggested the American people: "Ask what you can do for your country." In 1961, the Peace Corps was created, facilitating service among citizens working toward peace in developing countries. In 2011, President Obama celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Peace Corps with a Presidential Proclamation.Seriously. Look at me. I did... nothing.
As you read through these you should begin to notice a pattern. Obama didn't actually do anything to warrant any kind of "look at me" credit. These are all other presidents' accomplishments to which he is hooking his cart. Way to define your presidency. Actually, I think that does a darn good job of doing just that.
He's over his head by a mile, and grabbing at ANY straw he can... sigh
ReplyDeleteThat's the feeling I get. I just don't know how everyone doesn't see it.
DeleteThe only thing worse than what he is doing, is the millions of people who are gonna vote for him because they are either to stupid or too lazy to notice that the man has done nothing positive for our country.
ReplyDeleteAfter my comment to NFO, I think you and I are on the same page, Agirl.
DeleteOne word: Asshat.
ReplyDeleteThat's definitely a word. And a pretty accurate one at that.
DeleteAttention-Whore in Chief.
ReplyDeleteAgain with the perfect descriptions. I think after this post, I wouldn't be surprised if the "Truth Team" showed up and we were put on "Attack Watch"
DeletePresident Obama deserves two medals.
ReplyDelete1) A participation award.
2) An attendance award.
#2 being a Golf Course attendance award.
I love the participation award idea. It so defines the attitude of him and his supporters.
Delete"Did you know on July 2, 1881, in a Washington railroad station, an embittered attorney who had sought a consular post shot the President James Garfield. On September 6, Garfield was taken to the New Jersey seaside. For a few days he seemed to be recuperating, but on September 19, 1881, he died from an infection and internal hemorrhage. On September 6, 2009, President Barak Obama read a Garfield comic that he thought was mildly amusing."
ReplyDeleteWell, that really wasn't up there but I fully expected some such nonsense after checking out the grandstanding that was done on the more recent president's biographies.
Heh. That made me laugh. You know, the funny thing is that it seemed to be a pointless correlation, but when you really read some of these the relation is tenuous at best and sometimes just as silly. Thanks, That Sis. :)
