Quoted:http://newsbusters.org/blogs/kyle-drennen/2009/11/04/obama-watched-hbo-special-about-himself-instead-election-resultsDuring the 10AM ET hour of America’s Newsroom on Fox News Channel, fill-in co-host Martha Maccallum told viewers what President Obama watched on election night while Democrats suffered big losses in New Jersey and Virginia:
“Robert Gibbs said, well, he was actually watching, you know, the HBO special about his year-long campaign and how it all went.”On Tuesday night the White House had worked to downplay the Democratic gubernatorial defeats by claiming the President did not watch the election returns. Apparently Gibbs thought it would look better if the commander in chief was watching a self-indulgent fawning documentary about himself. Interestingly, Obama apparently previewed the HBO special a few days earlier, as Gibbs himself explained to the blog
Talking Points Memo: “White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says Obama has already seen ‘By the People’...Gibbs told TPMDC Obama’s review: ‘Thumbs up!’”
National political elections going on...and he watches a documentary about him.
The dude is jacked up on himself.
Obama was MOST DEFINITELY NOT watching some self-indulgent bullshit on HBO.
He wants YOU to think he was, because he wants to send the message that "he doesn't care, this doesn't bother me, it's all irrelevant.", but he does care, and it does bother him, more than just a little.
He personally campaigned for both Deeds and Corzine, and they both LOST. Obama tried to apply his "brand" to these two shitheels, and he FAILED to convince enough people to vote for either to win.
This amounts to two losses for Obama.
Don't be fooled by the term "narcissism", because he is most definitely a narcissist, and narcissists care only about themselves, and believe tehy are pure gold. When things don't go their way, it eats them alive, and Obama, right now, is pissed off and bothered to no end about it.
He campaigned on behalf of these two assholes, and because they lost, he lost.
