Obama, on the other hand, positively revels in The Great I Am.

"I think that I'm a better speechwriter than my speechwriters,'' he told campaign aides when he was running for the White House. "I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I'll tell you right now that . . . I'm a better political director than my political director.''

At the start of his presidency, Obama seemed to content himself with the royal "we'' - "We will build the roads and bridges. . . . We will restore science to its rightful place. . . . We will harness the sun and winds,'' he declaimed at his inauguration.

But as the literary theorist Stanley Fish points out, "By the time of the address to the Congress on Feb. 24, the royal we [had] flowered into the naked I': As soon as I took office, I asked this Congress.' I called for action.' I pushed for quick action.' I have told each of my Cabinet.' I've appointed a proven and aggressive inspector general.' 'I refuse to let that happen.' '' In his speech on the federal takeover of General Motors, Obama likewise found it necessary to use the first-person singular pronoun 34 times. ("Congress'' he mentioned just once.)

At this rate, it won't be long before the president's ego is so inflated that it will require a ZIP code of its own.

Who really fucking cares?

Why don't you go to the mall today, and ask everybody you see. Take a poll, and I bet 99 out of a hundred won't fucking care either, you nitpicking dweeb.

You have to have an ego to run for POTUS, wouldn't you agree?

I would be concerned about a president that didn't have a bit of an ego.

Obama now bows to Japan's emperor. Boy, can Obama ever bow!

"How low will he go? Obama gives Japan's Emperor Akihito a wow bow"

Dubya bows to Hitler Youth member.

Rein it looks more like the Pope just told a zinger and President Bush is loving it.

Hey Andy, I agree to some degree but he is taking it to new levels of

Me, me, me......

Face it, he is not ready to lead and is all about me.

You know You swinging dicks on the right won't give Obama a chance to save Your hides. You have had it in for Him even before He became the Democratic Presidential candidate. He could cure cancer and You would still lambaste Him. Yes there are things I do not like nor approve of but My G-d even I gave Dubya a chance. Give Obama a chance. IF YOU CAN.

It takes a megalomaniac to want to become president, at least within the past hundred years. What I'm noticing is that presidents are getting more incompetent as they get arrogant.

0bama's ego can only get worst being tethered to super egotistic Joe Biden

Ray, I am going newsworthy on that one.

Good post.

I think you need to pick your spots and thus far Obama has been a dismal failure in that arena.

This from the same dip shits that claimed History would approve of bushie in fifty years!

Keep sellin' it Chumpel-no one but knuckle-draggers are buyin' it.

Frank, history will certainly think differently of Bush in 50 years then it does now. Only a moron would think that people's sentiments for historical figures remain the same. I would suggest you look at Truman's history.

Bush is not part of this equation. Nice try on the deflection 55.

Something you can't drive.

Obama now bows to Japan's emperor.

So which is it -- does Obama think he's the greatest thing ever or is he too subservient? Make up your mind.

"...does Obama think he's the greatest thing ever or is he too subservient? Make up your mind."

Impossible.

ANYthing "Chocolate Carter" does is damned to failure.

...irregardless of whether it is lockstep in-line with the actions of previous Presidents...

...I mean, c'mon...he's (half) BLACK!

Was there ever a poster so stuck on himself as Chapel? How old are you son? Do you really think you know what's what in this world?
