Rio, 1 -- Chicago, 0. The Politics of Narcissism and General McChrystal

What I suspect is that the president is probably a clinical narcissist.

I just loved the caller into War Room this morning who suggested a theme song for Pres. BO updates: Toby Keith's "I Wanna Talk About Me"...only the lyrics need a very slight adjustment. The Keith song is about the flip side: his girl is a narcissist, who only wants to talk about herself. But the chorus is perfect for BO with a little adjustment:

I wanna talk about me,
Wanna talk about I,
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my me my,
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see.
I like talking about you you you you - when I have to - but usually,
I wanna talk about meeeeee (me,me,me,me-background singers)
I wanna talk about me (me,me-background singers)

I don’t theink the General got the memo on “soft power”.

Given his background, he may simply have discarded it.

We are in serious trouble because obama does appear to believe his own press releases.

Why wouldn't he, he's surrounded by yes men, and women.
