Today’s Questions For The President
Heh:
Do you and Elizabeth Warren have the same literary agent?
Did you tell your literary agent you were born in Kenya so you’d be invited to a luncheon to meet people like yourself?
Is Elizabeth Warren your composite girlfriend?
Did you and your staff proofread the Obamacare bill as closely as you proofed your bio?
(Thunder)Birds of a feather.

Obama’s Glory Was Inevitable
He is remarkably unself-aware.

It really is a personality disorder:
Examination of the symptoms should give pause. I’m not saying he might be the only politician with this problem or that he’d even be diagnosed with NPD. I’m not a doctor and I don’t play one on TV (although I have stayed in a Holiday Inn Express before). However, there are so many examples of similar behavior in his past that it is hard to ignore what is right in front of your eyes. And while he may not personally do everything (this probably being an example) he has a staff which knows their President and does what he would approve. That’s why they’re where they are. They play into the personality and feed it.
They’re riding for a hard fall in November.
Phil Klein says he should get over himself:
Obviously, as president, Obama can use the tools of the White House to advance his goals. But at the same time, all presidents are to some extent guardians of the institution. Sure, a lot of the White House website is naturally going to be used to promote Obama, but there are some areas that should be considered neutral ground — one of them being the history sections. White House presidential biographies are the type of thing that school kids read and they should be able to do so without being bombarded by propaganda for whoever is in power. I’m sure that during the Social Security debate in 2005, if President Bush had updated the biographical page to say that he was trying to preserve FDR’s original vision for Social Security, liberals would have been up in arms. And if Mitt Romney wins in November, I’m sure liberals won’t want him to use the presidential biographies for self-promotion, either.
Obama should get beyond his own narcissism and realize that, win or lose in November, he’s just a temporary part of something that’s bigger than himself.
He can’t. It’s who he is. It’s what he does.

Well, this was inevitable: Obama in history.
Dreams Of The Girl I Bullied
Hasn’t anyone on the president’s campaign team read his autobiography? I mean, I know the president has, when he read it while moving his lips, but he probably only read it that one time, so he’s probably forgotten most of what’s in it by now.

What could go wrong?
I wonder if the Obama administration is starting to wish that this Twitter thing had never been invented.
More On The Life Of Julia
Composite Americans
Last week, in an election campaign ad, Barack revealed his latest composite girlfriend — “Julia.” She’s worse than the old New York girlfriend. She can’t even be herself. In fact, she can’t be anything without massive assistance from Barack every step of the way, from his “Head Start” program at the age of three through to his Social Security benefits at the age of 67. Everything good in her life she owes to him. When she writes her memoir, it will be thanks to a subvention from the Federal Publishing Assistance Program for Chronically Dependent Women but you’ll love it: Sweet Dreams from My Sugar Daddy. She’s what the lawyers would call “non composite mentis.” She’s not competent to do a single thing for herself — and, from Barack’s point of view, that’s exactly what he’s looking for in a woman, if only for a one-night stand on a Tuesday in early November.
There’s a lot more.
Elizabeth Warren
Indian names. Heh.
