> Two perfect examples are this pitch...he might not make a good pitch (probably won’t...so he won’t chance it) and the Gridiron Club dinner. Both were longstanding traditions he backed out of, and I think for no other reason than to preserve his narcissistic compulsion to be viewed as better than the average Joe.
And a third example would be the Medal of Honor Ball at the inauguration. All MoH recipients are, by definition, better men than Obama and he just couldn’t have that, not in “his” day, the Inauguration.
Obama seems to break tradition, often.
What’s wrong with him?
