Obama honors Nobel winner with statement about himself Read more at the Washington E

Re: Obama honors Nobel winner with statement about himself Read more at the Washingt

The same way, actually.... If you start a speech or statement meant to honor someone else by talking about yourself, it's arrogant. It's fine to include the anecdote in there at some point as reference... but to begin with it smacks of arrogance.

Yes... it's so arrogant. Especially when your next statement is:

"Mr. Liu Xiaobo is far more deserving of this award than I was."

It's called setting the stage for grand recognition. Humbling your own status in order to recognize the greater achievement of another is nothing ground-breaking. These reactions are so lame because most of you would agree with the quote above, yet can't resist a chance at a jab or two.

The mental gymnastics required to make this sound arrogant is amazing. Conservatives really can take anything the man does and convince themselves it's bad somehow. Obama hugs a kitten... WHY DOES OBAMA HATE PUPPIES!? MAN'S BEST FRIEND, OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE! WHY IS HE HUGGING A KITTEN INSTEAD OF FIXING THE ECONOMY HUH?




Love the hysterics..... :thumbs:




BTW... This was a great experiment..... you can see the whining and crying here in this thread by the same people all giddy with outrage over in the Palin likes fat kids threads. :lol:
