Obama tells foreign press one of his personality traits is 'humility'

I don't know whether I should entirely blame The One for this, as it could merely be a clumsy, fawning write-up from the other (Australian) ABC News. Either way though, ugh:

<<< United States president Barack Obama says he and Prime Minister Kevin Rudd share several personality traits - one of which is humility.

The US president made the comments to the 7.30 Report's Kerry O'Brien during an interview which will be aired on ABC1 tonight.

O'Brien says during his 20-minute interview with Mr Obama, the US president shed some light on his relationship with Australia's Prime Minister.

"It was interesting. Diplomats and politicians say nice things about each other when they're having international chats," O'Brien said.

But O'Brien says Mr Obama spoke candidly about their relationship - which has in the past been described as a "meeting of minds".

"He was quite expansive and quite genuine on what he saw as the commonality and connections between [he and Mr Rudd]. One of which was humility," O'Brien said. >>>


I'm pretty sure that if you have to explicitly declare humility as one of your traits, than by definition you lack humility.
