At one point I thought it could be attributed to an unusual degree of cynicism, but now I wonder if it goes deeper than that. What I have in mind is President Obama’s obsession with portraying himself as our moral superior. Virtually every time he speaks these days, we are treated to another journey through what William Makepeace Thackeray aptly dubbed Vanity Fair.
For example, if you listened to the president’s news conference today, a theme we are by now wearily familiar with was repeated with numbing repetition: Obama, according to Obama, is quite simply better, much better, than those around him. He is a man of pure motives and unparalleled reasonableness, extraordinary intellectual depth, and unsurpassed seriousness. Others are driven by narrow self-interest, by the political calendar, by outside pressures. They are too ignorant or too weak to do the right thing, the good thing, the hard thing.
Not Obama.
Members of Congress, from both parties, are trapped by their own ideological predispositions. Obama, according to Obama, is not. He is free from bias, able to see reality whereas others merely see shadows. It is not easy to be Obama in a fallen world.

But,but,doesn’t the author realize Obama is THE MESSIAH.
NO HE'S NOT!!!!!
Think about depression-era dystopian future with dear president Obama saying the exact same things in the exact same manner for 12 years as the economy continues to crash.
A bread line a thousand people long in the dark city where the only light is a giant jumbotron showing the President speaking about how his great leadership will herald in a new era of jobs and prosperity.
My point is.
He will never get it.
Owebowmao is a dick.
