a narcissist president with a fawning press

Stuff like this only feeds his narcissism:

At the White House’s celebration of Greek Independence Day Wednesday afternoon, President Obama got a little unexpected flattery from Archbishop Demetrios, the head of the Greek Orthodox Church in the United States

Listing a series of challenges Obama will need to deal with as president, Demetrios predicted: Demetrios to Obama: "Following the brilliant example of Alexander the Great...you will be able to cut the Gordian knot of these unresolved issues."

Obama responded by making a face to the crowd, prompting laughter. And when he took the mic, he speculated on what the compliment could do for him at home.

having a narcissist president with a fawning press scares the bejeebus out of me


The fawning will stop, don't worry about that. Already the tone is quite different. But unfortunately that doesn't mean we will see sensible questions out of the press. Instead, they will turn on Obama for failing to be the Messiah.
