The economy teeters on the brink of disaster. The dollar is plunging. Afghanistan is spinning out of control. But you can rest assured that President Obama has his priorities in order. And the top priority is…himself.
The economy teeters on the brink of disaster. The dollar is plunging. Afghanistan is spinning out of control. But you can rest assured that President Obama has his priorities in order. And the top priority is…himself.
On Thursday he told – no pleaded – with a crowd of supporters to prove the pundits wrong by saying, “Don’t make me look bad.”
Don’t you worry about that, President Obama. When it comes to making you look bad, you are what’s known as a self-made man.
Democrat Senators Tom Harkin and Robert Byrd probably consider this the pinnacle of their long, distinguished careers. Or maybe not.

CNSnews.com reports on the Democrats’ egregious egos:
Harkin and Byrd jointly won the “Narcissist Award” for 2010 – a little-coveted award given to those members of Congress who request taxpayer money to fund projects named after themselves.
Harkin asked for $7,287,000 to continue what he calls the “Harkin Grant” program for renovating Iowa public schools.
Byrd similarly asked that $7 million in taxpayer funds be directed to the Robert C. Byrd Institute of Advanced Flexible Manufacturing Systems, which provides workforce training in technical manufacturing skills.
We have a suggestion for Citizens Against Government Waste. If anyone wins the award two years in a row, it should be renamed in their honor.
Or dishonor, as the case may be.

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.
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.

Based on last week’s speech in Ohio, we’d have to conclude that the most important issue to President Obama is…well…President Obama.
Let’s just change his name to President Ego-bama and get it over with.

Charles Krauthammer is clearly dumbfounded by Obama’s claim that he is the first “Pacific president.”

Why so surprised, Charles? After all, this is the same guy who turned the 20th anniversary of the Fall of the Wall into an opportunity to speak about himself.
