“But he would not have gotten network coverage without this spectacle!”
This spectacle was all so transparent (pun intended). Like an actor, you could see Obama trying to master the moment while focusing on his timing, tone and delivery. This was pure political theater being crafted for the (friendly) network coverage. The man is so narcissistic he is incapable of showing genuine empathy towards anyone but himself. I don’t think this “production” was the game changer he hoped it would be. The whole thing lacked the somber dignity it deserved.
It’s ALWAYS about THEM.
These people put the malignant in malignant narcissism
