Obama’s 20 Most Self-Absorbed Moments

The Obamissariat “ The Rickards Review (the Internet's Preeminent Conservative Blog)  has at least impressed me with this comprehensive list of Barack Obama’s 20 Most Impossibly Self-Absorbed Moments Lots of citations and videos at the site, but below —  a brief summary 20 & 19.  Obama writes two memoirs, the first at age 35. 18.  “The election’s over, John.” There are polite ways to disagree.  There are diplomatic ways to disagree.  And then there’s Barack Obama’s way of disagreeing with Sen. John McCain during a summit on healthcare reform. 17. “I think I could probably do every job on the campaign better than the people I’ll hire to do it.” 16.  “It would be easier if I could do this entirely on my own.” 15.  American soldiers fight for Barack Obama “those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf.” 14. Obama as the standard of divine law When asked to define “sin,” he stated that sin is “being out of alignment with my values,” whatever those are.  So take that, St. Augustine! 13. Announcing the killing of Osama bin Laden I ...;  I....;  I....;  I....; 12. The State of My Union managed to reference himself a whopping 122 times, averaging roughly once every 30 seconds! 11.  It’s his country.  We’re just living in it. 10.  “You’re going to destroy my presidency” 9.  Republican Scott Brown’s victory proves voters still love Obama. Wait, what? 8. Killing Osama Bin Laden, The Sequel 7.  Death be not proud… except of me. We’ve all heard jokes about voter fraud and dead people voting for Democrats.  But rarely do the dead endorse a candidate so explicitly and enthusiastically. 6.  “I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions.” (Yes, those are quotation marks) 5. Calm the seas? Yes, calm the seas 4.  The gift that keeps on giving. President Obama gave Queen Elizabeth an iPod - loaded with pictures of him 3. “We are the ones who we’ve been waiting for.” 2. Modification of other presidential biographies to include himself. This borders on outright creepy. 1.“Well,” he said “the big difference [between] here and in ’94 is you’ve got me.” ”
