Hey - that was a good article. Why would you filter someone who posts an editorial from the Boston Globe? Is that paper not liberal enough for you? Here's a good quote: "Was there ever a president as deeply enamored of himself as Barack Obama? The first President Bush, taught from childhood to shun what his mother called “The Great I Am,’’ regularly instructed his speechwriters not to include too many “I’s’’ in his prepared remarks. Reagan maintained that there was no limit to what someone could achieve if he didn’t mind who got the credit. George Washington, one of the most accomplished men of his day, said with characteristic modesty on becoming president that he was “peculiarly conscious of his own deficiencies.’’ Obama, on the other hand, positively revels in The Great I Am." -- John H |

This is another example of turning a positive into a negative, which is one of Carl Rove's trademarks. Obama has actually done what right wingers say poor people should do, "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps." But when it's done, it must be related to a negative, in this case his supposed ego. No evidence, just baseless, childish name calling. Bush Senior should not be held up as a positive example of parenting. Maybe if he had included more "I"s his son wouldn't have started a couple of wars he didn't have the gumption to complete. Just left them to the next guy. A trait which does not look good in history books. |
