To Honor Neil Armstrong, Obama Posts Photo of Himself
Breitbart ^ | 26 August 2012 | Mike Flynn

Posted on 08/27/2012 8:55:05 AM PDT by COBOL2Java

The thing that most bothers me about Barack Obama is his unearned narcissism. His smugness and arrogance are beyond the ability of science to measure. I don't mind someone being a bit cocky or even arrogant, IF they have the accomplishments and achievements to back up the attitude. Obama's greatest achievement, though, is creating his own personal narrative. He is his own personal touchstone. Even when honoring a great American hero, Obama can't help but thrust himself into the event.

On Friday, America and the world lost a true hero. Neil Armstrong, who died of heart complications at the age of 82, was the first human to walk on the moon. His steps onto the lunar surface were watched by the largest television audience in history. His statement "one giant leap for mankind" echoed throughout the world, allowing people everywhere to step back from the clutter of their daily lives and pause to dream big things. People who witnessed it will never forget it.

His narcissism is the final result of a life of being told, “You are special.”.................

What I don’t understand is why the flag isn’t at half staff as of today. Lately it seems that the flag is half staff for just about every tragedy, but not for the death of an American Hero.

OK, time for our photo-shoppers to begin inserting O-zero’s photo into every event of historical significance, a la the Tourist Guy and MacKayla.

Ah, but it is worse than that! Who thinks Obama himself posted the picture? Come on, raise your hands. Bzzzzzzzzzz, wrong answer! After all, that sounds like work, does it not? And pedestrian work at that. Someone else did it and that leaves us with three possibilities:

a) he himself ordered it done ("here's a nice picture of me, post it").

b) there are standing orders that all pictures posted shall be of the oneness.

c) his staff views him as a god and do this on their own volition.

After gutting NASA Obama dared to dream of really fast choo choo trains.
Well, more fast choo choo trains.

Kind of on the same level of the first manned moon flight.
I mean if you take a handful of Ecstacy and smoke some crack cocain while bungee jumping with a long rope off a low bridge.
Then the simularities are apparrent.

Badly Photoshopped.

Every time Obama looks at the moon it should be a full moon rather than a crescent because it is reflecting his radiant light. < /sarc and gag>
