Hubris.

I had often wondered just what that word meant. So I looked it up, and got this: “Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one’s own competence or capabilities, especially when the person exhibiting it is in a position of power”.

Not that the Democrats would ever think this would apply to their actions. And most especially, Barack Hussein Obama could never picture himself falling into that category.

Imperial Rome had a number of Caesars who styled themselves beyond any earthly retribution for their acts. For all that, most of those also enjoyed surprisingly short reigns.

“Not that the Democrats would ever think this would apply to their actions.”

Remember how often the words “Bush” and “hubris” appeared in the same sentence?;)
