Obama boasts to CBS: I'm 4th best president
WND ^ | DECEMBER 19, 2011 | Bob Unruh

Posted on 12/19/2011 1:49:53 PM PST by RobinMasters

Better than George Washington. Better than James Madison. Better than Theodore Roosevelt. Better than John F. Kennedy. Better than Ronald Reagan.

That's Barack Obama's opinion of his accomplishments during the first couple years of the eight years he plans to be president.

The revelation about Obama's opinion of his own presence in the Oval Office came during an interview for "60 Minutes," where the network reported Obama described himself as a "good captain" of the ship of state.

But the aired footage of the comments that his own accomplishments surpass those of every president – with only a couple of exceptions – did not reach the airwaves and were available on the online video.

That prompted several pundits, including P.J. Gladnick of NewsBusters to write:

"Such was the laughably absurd claim of President Obama on 60 Minutes last Sunday. What? You didn't see it? That was because 60 Minutes conveniently left it out of its broadcast. If you want to see Obama engage in this latest bit of over the top braggadocio you can only see it at the online 60 Minutes Overtime which has a video of the entire interview. You can catch Obama's excessive praise of himself at the tail end of the interview starting with Steve Kroft's question just before the 55 minute mark."

Are we sure he isn’t the son of the late and deluded Kim Jong-Il?

'We're not done yet, I've got 5 more years of stuff to do'...But putting in place a system in which we're gonna start lowering health care costs and you're never gonna go bankrupt...The issue here is not gonna be a list of accomplishments...we've got a lot more work to do. And we're gonna keep on at it.

Notice how Obama continually slaughters the English language? All his lazy use of "gonna" and the improper "we've got" expressions drive me crazy. The man could NOT have written any book...he can't even speak correctly, let alone sound like anyone who has at least third grade education.

It is apparent that he learned his English in another country and on the streets. Those who promoted this lazy egomaniac from a wannabe to a college student and then politician should be ashamed. But, then, all of those street hoods, welfare recipients, and union members wouldn't have understood him if he spoke proper English. Guess that was their ploy. What an embarrassment he is to our country.

Obama: delusion is my name. The fact that Obama believes this nonsense about himself tells you how out-of-touch he is with reality.

Pride comes before a fall. This arrogant jerk is going to get his comeuppance in the next election. He is sowing the seeds of his own political destruction.

“What an Egomaniac!”

His narcissism is so off the charts that even CBS conveniently left this part out of its broadcast. LOL.

I think that the polling actually puts Obama at #1... Of course those polled included Kim Jong Il (before he died), Saddam Hussien (before he died), Ossama Bin-Laden (before he died), and Momar Kahdaffi (before he died). Obama has been their favorite President of the United States.

Your eyes or the lying media?

Well, he is definitely the fourth-best President in the past 20 years.

1. Jimmy Carter 2. Richard Nixon 3. Bill Clinton 4. Barry Sorento (a.k.a. Obama)*

I wouldn't leave Lyndon Johnson off the list...Great Society, bungled the Vietnam war.

He didn't say he was the fourth-best President; he has more hubris than that. He said he had more legislative and foreign policy success at this point in his first term than ANY other President in the modern era, with the POSSIBLE exception of Lincoln, F.D.R., and Johnson.

in other words, he'll concede you could argue that one of more of Lincoln, F.D.R., or Johnson were better . . . but Obama wouldn't necessarily agree with you. To him, he's still #1.

In all likelihood Bozo the Clown President thought he was being humble settling on 4th place for himself.
