Oh, my, Obama. The Narcissist-in-Chief spoke at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser the other night and told the tragic tale of a campaign worker who died from breast cancer:
I got a letter — I got a note today from one of my staff — they forwarded it to me — from a woman in St. Louis who had been part of our campaign, very active, who had passed away from breast cancer. She didn’t have insurance. She couldn’t afford it, so she had put off having the kind of exams that she needed. And she had fought a tough battle for four years. All through the campaign she was fighting it, but finally she succumbed to it. And she insisted she’s going to be buried in an Obama t-shirt.
A touching story made all the more touching by the fact that Obama uses the woman’s death to praise his own inspirational leadership. It’s that kind of nervous, awkward laughter that comes from an audience that isn’t quite sure what kind of response is appropriate.
To see the comment, go straight to the 8:25 mark of the embedded video. Notice that the crowd reacts to the story by laughing despite the fact that Obama seems completely serious.
We’re not even sure we buy the story. Who was the woman? What was her name? What was her story? Tell us about her. The World’s Greatest Orator should know that stories are much more effective when they’re personalized with authentic details.
As it was told, Obama’s story sounds about as convincing as Joe Biden’s attempt to review Avatar.
Bottom line: The campaign worker should consider herself lucky. She died and got buried in a T-shirt. The rest of us lived and get buried in debt.
Overall, we’d have to say she wins.
