The president has lost the means for Clinton-style triangulation.
It’s almost enough to evoke sympathy: The entire journalistic world poring over President Obama’s post-election comments and applying a humility meter to his words, his facial expressions, and his mood. Does he get it? Is he sufficiently abashed by the voters’ rebuke?
But just when you think the guy has suffered enough, he short-circuits your pity. Traveling in India, the president misinterpreted the comments of an Indian businessman in a way that reveals his tenacious self-worship.
As Jake Tapper reported, Mr. Bhupendra Kansagra, founder of Spice Jet, greeted the president:
“Welcome, Mr. President, to India. As a fellow Kenyan, I’m very proud to see that you have made . . .”
(drum roll)
at which point Mr. OBAMA INTERRUPTED to say
“made something of myself.”
Mr. Kansagra finished the sentence:
“. . . India as the focus of your drive for exports out of the U.S.”
Sheesh.
(Obama believes everything is about HIM.)
...
(Barf alert!)
At another venue, the president offered his highest praise to Mohandas Gandhi, saying,
“Throughout my life, including my work as a young man on behalf of the urban poor, I have always found inspiration in the life of Gandhiji and in his simple and profound lesson to be the change we seek in the world. I am mindful that I might not be standing before you today, as president of the United States, had it not been for Gandhi and the message he shared with America and the world.”
So WHOM was he praising — Gandhi or himself?
Everything — including the contribution of world historical figures —
is still ALL ABOUT OBAMA.

Hell, India is already taking our jobs in the U.S.!
Where do you think the programming jobs are going?
Either they are outsoruced directly to India or companies here are that psecialize in cheap labor through H1B Visas. They’ll work dirt cheap and take OUR jobs.
Ever notice how Obama the racist that HE IS, is more comfortable with people of color and THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES? Obama truly HATES WHITE PEOPLE and CIVILIZED COUNTRIES.
-——So WHOM was he praising-——

Who'd believe we'd have anyone say this?

How disgraceful!
Reminds me a bit of the embarrassment from when MO’s presentation to the Olympics committee had nothing whatsoever to do with how the OC and the Olympics could benefit from having the ceremonies in Chicago-but rather, how having the Olympics in Chicago could benefit other Poor Black Children, Just.Like.Michelle. Obama. Total misreading of the audience, total failure to understand what needed to be stressed, total embarrassment-!
Obama and company can’t get past themselves.
It’s ALL about Obama.
I’d like to permanetly rip that smug look off his face.
