All presidents must surely have a certain amount of confidence, even arroance, in order to think they are capable of being the leader of the free world (or else they are stark raving mad!). But most also have times of humbleness and even moments where their eyes tear up and their voices crack in front of millions of people. Pres. George W Bush is such a man (as is his father), for all his faults; Obama has claimed humbleness in some speeches but doesn’t seem capable of actually feeling it. Of course, this is merely an impression from what he has shown in his words, deeds and demeanor.
arroance=arrogance
“Obama has claimed humbleness in some speeches but doesn’t seem capable of actually feeling it.”
Being humble is definately one of those things you never have to claim. However, Obama claims he is many things he is not, why not throw this onto the stack.
