You don’t expect modesty from a guy who wrote two autobiographies by the time he was forty despite the handicap of having accomplished nothing to that point in his life. And when that guy is Barack Obama, he delivers on that anticipated lack of modesty.
AFP reports the President’s glowing opinion of himself:
“I’ve been inspired by you. Wherever I go, traveling across this country, especially when I meet young people, I’m reminded of your energy, and your drive, and your imagination,” Obama told several hundred young people.
“For all the problems we’re going through right now, we still have the best workers on earth, the finest universities on earth, we’ve got the best entrepreneurs on earth, we’ve got the freest, most vibrant economy on earth,” he said.
One female supporter then yelled out “the best president on earth” and Obama replied, “Well, I won’t say that, but we got a pretty good president.”
Right. And when unemployment gets down to 9%, he’ll deserve a spot on Mount Rushmore.

This. is. hilarious. Arrogant doesnt even BEGIN to explain this guy. Charles K would have a field day with this.
This guy is so amazingly delusional he should be on meds and locked up in an asylum until he returns to earth in present day.
Barack Obama is a "pretty good" President of the United States in the same sense Benito Mussolini was the "pretty good" Duce of Italy. Two
narcissistic sociopaths ignoring the unfolding catastrophes of their mis-rule.
Considering the era of American Exceptionalism ended with his inauguration, he really talked us up in that second paragraph! It never ceases to amaze just how much he is impressed with himself, as indicated by the I-I-I-Me-Me-Me-Not you-just Me tone of the first paragraph. We should be so proud that our president is impressed by great we realize he is. Air sick bag, anyone?
Well he *has* accomplished what he set out to do: Tank the economy, get socialism set up, make the office of president look foolish, and undermine American values. So yah, in that light he is a good president.
He meant "I am a pretty *and* a good president" ... we'll remember him as Mr. Modest.
I like your point but I'll just remember him as the one that made Jimmy Carter look like a decent president...
Depends on how you view the situation. See the US economy blitzes any other country with an African president.... ;)
That just proves he lives in LaLa Land.
