WASHINGTON – Everyone knows President Barack Obama can deliver a great speech, including the president himself, according to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

The paperback version of Reid's book, "The Good Fight," is coming out May 5 with an epilogue called "The Obama Era." Reid said he was impressed when Obama, then a freshman senator from Illinois, delivered a speech about President George W. Bush's war policy.

Reid, D-Nev., writes: "'That speech was phenomenal, Barack,' I told him. And I will never forget his response. Without the barest hint of braggadocio or conceit, and with what I would describe as deep humility, he said quietly: 'I have a gift, Harry.'"

I suppose being a good BS artist can be considered to be a gift.

Yes, and for US taxpayers, it will be the gift that keeps on giving. Or taking, maybe.

with what I would describe as deep humility, he said quietly: 'I have a gift, Harry.

Humility is the last thing I would call it.
