Obama, leaving the 'self' out of self-deprecation
2010-05-03
Note: the above is the article title in the print version of the WaPo. They toned it down online.
Barack Obama, the Insult Comic President, was up to his old shtick Saturday night.

Breaking with presidential punch line tradition for the second consecutive year, Obama dropped zinger after zinger on his opponents and allies alike at the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner.
RTWT. At least one WaPo writer is noticing the nasty tone of this president even if he treads lightly in criticizing it in print.

#4  Actually I heard he was great! He should do stand-up full time and give up his day job.

#3  Obama: I like John McCain - to poop on!

I wonder where he gets his material?

#2  I read that The Daily Show writers prepared all the president's material. It's not that he's naturally that deprecating.

#1  Is anyone surprised? This guy is too thin-skinned to be in the public eye.

But wait, isn't the inability to be criticized or to indulge in self-deprecation one of the signs of a Narcissistic personality?
