President Pufferfish
He is the reductio ad absurdum of a culture of self-esteem that does not reward achievement but that teaches people to keep telling themselves that they are the best, regardless. -- Had Enough Therapy?: Lost in the White House

Your Say
Obama says he has regrets for his syntax in "You didn't build that." There is, actually, a lapse of syntax in that remark: the failure to note that "that" refers to his entire career, including his presidency.
This one's for the geeks who still remember:
Obamarx: "You don't get it, it was just uh-uh-uh a SYNTAX ERROR!"
The American Public: "We get it all right, and we're just going to do a SYS64738 on your entire Communist program."

As I once said:
"Nowadays it’s all the rage, of course, for an individual to decide he gets to establish his talents by decree as opposed to demonstration, and often in spite of piles of evidence refuting him."

Dr. Sanity called Obama a malignant narcissist back in 2008. Others have remarked on the hubris. In truth, only a supremely self-confident man would run for the presidency, but the revelations of the low-level nature of the preening (chili? pool?) clearly supports Dr. Sanity's diagnosis.

As I said back in 2009, Obama's is the Mae West presidency.
