Look, self-absorption is part of the occupational hazard of politics and then it's also part of the job description of being president. All that said, try to imagine Dwight Eisenhower talking about D-Day, saying, "I did this, I decided this, I did this and then I did that." It's inconceivable. If you struck from Barack Obama's vocabulary the first person singular pronoun, he would fall silent, which would be a mercy to us and service to him, actually, because he has been so incontinent in his speech making for the last three years that you wind up with, as you said in Ohio State University, empty seats.

George Will is pompous little bag of pig snot.
BTW 14,000 of a total 18,000 seats at the President's speech were taken.

(70,614 posts)He used Jimmy Carter's stolen briefing papers to prep Reagan for his debate
w/ President Carter and then Will wrote something for Newsweek (?) about
how well Ronald Reagan did in the debate.
He has no shame.

(86,008 posts)Romney isn't exactly a big draw, even among average republicans.
Part of the problem with some of our Democratic candidacies is that our folks have not spelled out their accomplishments -- and voters, not being clairvoyant, have nothing but the snot of windbags like Will to inform them. I'm glad that our party and President are quick to point to what they've accomplished so far. Will and his ilk are just envious of the attention and support he's getting and want desperately to distract from that and suppress it.

(27,461 posts)they'll say "Obama is attacking Romney because he can't talk about his successes!"
I guess Obama should go up on stage and talk about the weather.

I think we have a relative of his writing columns in our local newspaper. Same snide, sissy comments and lies...little to no content. Whine, whine, whine kind of stuff.
