Obama to India’s Prime Minister: What an honor for you to meet me!

Posted 24 Nov 2009 in Barack Obama

This isn’t another bow, but President Obama still managed to embarrass himself…this time by tripping over his overinflated ego. Via National Review:

President Obama welcomed Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to the White House with words that have inspired snickers in New Delhi:

“Yours is the first official state visit of my presidency, its fitting that you and India be so recognised,” 48-year-old Obama told the 77-year-old Indian leader.

The general reaction in India has been: Who the heck does this guy think he is? Note to the Great Diplomat: When you do a head of state an honor, you don’t remind him, in public, of the fact that you have done him an honor, particularly in self-aggrandizing terms of this sort.

President Obama continues to baffle me. On one hand, he travels the world groveling before world leaders, personifying weakness and indecision. On the other, he behaves as though he truly believes the “messiah” spin coming from his cult-like followers. He’s making Bill Clinton look downright humble in comparison.

Obama is truly the embodiment of the joke that goes, “But enough about me. What do YOU think of me?”
