Arrogance Knows No Bounds

I've posted before on how even clinical psychiatrists have deemed President Barack Obama a narcissist.

If you need any more proof of it (besides just listening to him talk at any given time) just watch he had to say to 60 Minutes Steve Kroft (which Kroft never did challenge him on anything, surprise)




Here's the transcript, complete with Kroft performing a complete fawn dive at the Great Leader's feet as he butters the president up with overwrought accolades for questionable or even down-right false "accomplishments."

KROFT: Tell me, what do you consider your major accomplishments? If this is your last speech. What have you accomplished?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, we're not done yet. I've got five more years of stuff to do. But not only saving this country from a great depression. Not only saving the auto industry. But putting in place a system in which we're gonna start lowering health care costs and you're never gonna go bankrupt because you get sick or somebody in your family gets sick. Making sure that we have reformed the financial system, so we never again have taxpayer-funded bailouts, and the system is more stable and secure. Making sure that we've got millions of kids out here who are able to go to college because we've expanded student loans and made college more affordable. Ending Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Decimating al Qaeda, including Bin Laden being taken off the field. Restoring America's respect around the world.

The issue here is not gonna be a list of accomplishments. As you said yourself, Steve, you know, I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president -- with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln -- just in terms of what we've gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, we've got a lot more work to do. And we're gonna keep on at it.


So he's better than George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, Andrew Jackson, John Adams, JFK, Harry Truman and Ronald Reagan?

Restoring America's respect around the world?
