Forbes has this section of Other Comments, in which it quotes a passage from Charles Krauthammer in Washington Post. It's marked Me, Myself and I. It's about Barack Obama, and it's sooo funny that I have to quote it here in my journal to give myself a chuckle when I need a chuckle. And here it goes:
"...There's nothing new about narcissism in politics. Every senator looks in the mirror and sees a president. Nonetheless, has there ever been a presidential nominee with a wider gap between his estimation of himself and the sum total of his lifetime achievements?
Obama is a three-year senator without a single important legislative achievement to his name, a former Illinois state senator who voted "present" nearly 130 times. As president of the Harvard Law Review, as law professor and as legislator, has he ever produced a single notable piece of scholarship? Written a single memorable article? His most memorable work is a biography of his favorite subject: himself..."
It's so true about Barack Obama. It's no wonder that the young crowd loves him. He exemplifies this me-generation so perfectly.
