Amazing. Anyone who has even the slightest empathy would know never to say something like that even if were true because people hate that kind of arrogance. Plus all you do when you make statements like that is paint a big fat target on yourself.
Imagine, just IMAGINE the response in the media had a republican president said these same words.
“Plus all you do when you make statements like that is paint a big fat target on yourself.”
Sadly, it is these apparently incompetent underlings who get thrown under the bus whenever Obama screws up. He essentially takes credit for when things go right and has a ready-made finger-pointing excuse whenever things go wrong.
People who want to believe it, don't hate it. In fact, it just adds to BO's legend.
Once, I was lectured by a University Professor on the brilliance of AlGore, and how closeminded (bigoted? Hateful? unstated, but clearly intended) I was to cast any doubt upon it.
If you're a lib, you don't question orthodoxy. Obama is God-like in his abilities, and that's all there is to it. If he proclaims himself as genius, then it must be so.
