It is a strange thing to be witness to the effects of excessive praise to several previously admired individuals. It has been a strange year for both LeBron James and Barak Obama. A year ago, Obama was the most admired politician of his era and LeBron the most admired athlete in America. Now, both look like ridiculous narcissists. Check this quote from Obama.
During the interview Wednesday, when confronted with the anxiety that some Israelis feel toward him, Obama said that “some of it may just be the fact that my middle name is Hussein, and that creates suspicion.”
Of course! It couldn’t be that they have substantive disagreements with your policies, Barry. They just can’t get past the name.
As Ace of Spades puts it:
It’s kind of amazing that every single criticism of, or lack of proper enthusiasm for, Barack Obama is rooted in some sort of bitter, clingy ignorance and malice. Apparently not a single critique of him is well-founded, or founded upon anything at all, really, except hatred and mental retardation.
Beware of flattery...

Is The Daily Caller a right-wing Huffington Post?
Never mind. A quick internet search answered my question in the affirmative.
The right-wing slant is just as laughable as the left-wing one on HuffPo, except The Daily Caller has a much shittier layout.
