But let’s not call him revoltingly and possibly dangerously self-involved and narcissistic. We need to criticize the policies, not the man. Because racism.

This is the guy who gave the Queen of England an iPod loaded with his speeches, right?
This is the guy who used the royal “We” in his impromptu speech upon securing the nomination four years ago, right?
Just before he promised to lower the oceans, as I recall.
Taranto yesterday: Out of Mani, One
Burge and the Twittergang had a lot of fun with it.
Our president is the punchline of a very old joke:
“But enough of me going on about myself. What do you think of me?”
From sdferr’s link:
Heh.
I seriously doubt he understood it. That was just hisself tolerating it.
He’s the bestist politician ever.
Maybe he was only ‘the 4th or 5th most interesting person in the room’ , but no doubt emperor Obama had the very best clothes of the bunch.
Of course, the fact is that he is not interesting at all. He has nothing new to say. Without all the work from the people who have propped him up, he’d be lucky to be working at a tier 3 university.
Maybe his neck just hurts from looking up all the time.
I’m going to give him an incredibly rare pass on this one. Dude just can’t tell a joke worth his life. Learned that from Laura Ingraham.
After all the times he’s had jokes spectacularly backfire, I can’t give him a pass.
The comments on that article with people flailing around trying to cover for Obabo are fabulous.
Well if the histrionics on Twitter today are indicative of anything other than, well, the mood of various Twitter idiots, Mitt Romney apparently make a “hey, nobody’s ever asked to see my birth certificate” joke – BIRTHERISM!!!
Which should thankfully get most of the shiny object crowd to stop talking about Akin. So, to my mind, that’s another point in favor of the Mitt Romney, Evil Super-Genius theory.
Or at least, “Mitt Romney, semi-intellegent Republican who wants to actually win an election”, which is what passes for Evil Super-Geniosity in these sadly diminished times.
Hmm. That is true. You’d think even with the White House Bubble in effect, he could tell when a room politely laughs/awkwardly can’t even politely laugh.
So yeah, I guess we’re back on disturbing narcissist.
Do you think Romney is even more of an evil super-genious than Dubya, John? I’m guessing time will tell.
Bush has been out of office, minding his own business (or is he?) for four years, yet he’s responsible for all the country’s ills.
So incompetent is he, yet so wily, he could give the LAPD detectives who framed OJ (I’m kidding) a run for their money.
Ahh, but W was that rarest of creatures, the Genius-Moron. Sort of like Rain Man or something.
A blood-thirsty, war-mongery Rain Man what hates brown people, natch.
Hitler! He was like Hitler without the Jews.
Don’t worry about Barack Obama, Andrew Sullivan is ready to give him some stroking…
That was a mental image I didn’t need, EBL.
Ta-Nehisi Coates:
It’s true, Obama has cited Ronald Reagan on occasion. Of course, Obama despises Ronald Reagan, but we needn’t mention that. And too, Obama does appear to “effusively” praise “the enduring wisdom of the American people” he despises, but we needn’t mention that either. We understand all of this without the need to rehearse it for the rubes.
– Of all of Obama’s legion of inanities, the one that will always outshine all the rest is his recent comment a few weeks back. To wit:
“Governor Romney is always bragging about his economic experience, but all he ever did was invest in companies.”
– This is the man the retrogressives prop up like a coat rack and insist he’ll lead us out of the economic wilderness to a grand Utopia and prosperity shared by all.
– What can you say. At this point I think about what it will be like for him once he’s out of office.
– Jimah Cahtah, but with more T-shirts.
The fact that Obama can’t stand the voters is obvious. All his praise of others that isn’t used to reflect himself and how he did it better, rings hollow.
(and I fully expect either Leigh or McGehee will see what I did there)
BBH, I about fell off my chair when I heard him say that.
What a tool.
And Mom jeans.
Unless he starts having all his pictures taken from the waist up too.
– Maybe Reagan had jug ears in mind when he talked about “the shinning city on the hill”.
– Ok, I’ll stop now. *snicker*
Anyone else see him shooting hoops with Michael Jordan and others yesterday? Man, does he suck out loud. They gave him a whole bunch of gimmes and he missed every single one.
– Looks like he plays basketball the same way he runs the country. He can only go to his left and he throws up a lot of air balls.
– Looks like Isaac is taking the worst possible track for Tampa, at least for now. The latest projections have the city in the highest winds point of the hurricane if it ultimately builds as it passes over warmer water.
All the more reason to look forward to Biden’s speech from the town square, BBH.
BREAKING: Todd Akin to Hold Press Conference
From: White House Press Secretary
To: All Press Reporters and all Donors and Guests at any press conferences or Gatherings in His Name.

This will be henceforth known as the Royal Choomnest Ko’u Tou’ (Kow Tow).
So it shall be written. So it shall be done.
From: White House Press Corpse
To: White House Press Secretary
Blow us.
THAT ain’t gonna happen and you know it.
Not a spine in that bunch.
(Well maybe Tapper but I think he’s just trying to get on Carney’s nerves and it makes him look brave to the reporterette’s in the crowd.)
Tapper has been a mensch. He just might do it.
Oh, who am I kidding?
– The Wonce and the flying fickle finger of fake but inaccurate….Must be all his dead voters are on twitter too.
I saw that. 70% fakers, Buh-rock?
– His Obama-ness is finding that teh 2nd time is not teh charm:
“Behind Obama was emblazoned the word ‘Forward’, a slogan once used by Josef Stalin. But at the core of Obama’s case is the notion that President George W. Bush’s policies are responsible for the mess America is in. Listening to him at times it is as if the last four years never happened.”
– He can dodge the real issues on the campaign trail, after all he has the better part of the legacy press in his hip pocket to aide and abet his rope-a-dope ploy, but sooner or later he’s going to have to face those issues. People are fed up with his games, and these days you’re starting to hear many more decenting voices, where 4 years ago you heard only spirited praise.
– The bloom is off the rose for the Wonce.
Well, Thomas Jefferson was a down and dirty racist, so we oughtn’t to be surprised I guess. Still, these backwoods academics need to get with the program and put their students in touch with the proper political vanguard of the modern age. Wot?
