Presidential modesty

Mencken once said that politicians at conventions like to compare themselves favorably to "the rising of the sun and the aurora borealis". Those are about the only two grandiose self-comparisons Obama hasn't made yet - although, at this rate, it's probably only a matter of time.

    Wait until the OBL film coses out next October. That should complete the circle.

    This is the character who said:

    "This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal."

    So comparing himself to MLK is of no surprise.

    As for that OBL movie......I hear that President Obama will be portrayed by.....President Obama.

    Poor baby Obama. Everybody's picking on him... just like they did Martin Luther King.
