Obama: All Hat

Never have we had a president we see and hear so much. He is everywhere. He loves to fly on Air Force One. He loves to talk, especially he loves to hear himself talk. He talks more and says less than any person that has ever been on the national political scene, including Jimmy Carter. It matters little to him what he says, just so he says it even if it is not true or it is contradictory. This is greatly exemplified by the following quote from the FoxNews Channel:

"Nar-cis-sism – noun1. inordinate fascination with oneself; excessive self-love; vanity--Dictionary.com

In mythology, Narcissus was the guy who fell in love with his own reflection.

In 2009, he’s the president of the United States.

Instead of adoring his own image, Obama loves to hear himself talk – about himself. In just 41 speeches so far this year, not including this week's big speech at the United Nations, Obama has talked about himself nearly 1,200 times – 1,198 to be exact. (That breaks down to 1,121 “I”s and just 77 “me”s.) And that just includes 34 weekly addresses and his seven major speeches. Count the hundreds of other public speeches and he’d be off the charts.

And if you needed any more confirmation, there was this past Sunday’s Obama-palooza on the network talking head shows. Obama pulled a presidential first, going back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back on five different networks. He hit “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” on ABC, “Meet the Press” on NBC, “Face the Nation” on CBS, as well as interviews on both CNN and Univision."

In Texas when a man is all talk and little substance or action we say: "He is all hat."
