If these last two Tweets (as of this writing) from the @BarackObama [1] Twitter feed don’t (unfortunately) sum up the absolute arrogance of our “me first” celebrity President, I don’t know what does:
"This weekend, Michelle and I join our fellow Christians in marking Good Friday and celebrating Easter." —President Obama

Note which one got the most retweets and favorites. Depressing.
Everything has to be about him – the anniversary [5] of the Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat, the death of Nelson Mandela [6]. He’s even managed to get himself included in the the official White House historical bios of Presidents past [7]! And we won’t even go there on the implicit insinuation the image gives off that he is some type of deity [8] …
Really. Not every special event, season, historical anniversary is about him – even though he and his team of image crafters like to try and make it so. I sincerely hope and pray that our next President – whether he (or she) is a Democrat or Republican, return to the days where Presidents didn’t make every single thing all about them … or at least gave off the PRETENSE that they didn’t think it was. Sheesh!
