Barack Obama's Diary: Me, Myself and Moi
Posted on the 26 March 2013 by Hughvw
Dear Diary: I get exasperated when people criticize me for being a narcissist or obsessed with myself. I often refer to myself but that is because I am leader of the free world. Consider my Passover message after which people complained that I used the word "I" seven times in 250 words. What have I done wrong? My message came from me, after all. I'm not blaming myself for that. I am not an egoist, nor am I egocentric, nor am I self-obsessed. I am lucky that among the many gifts I have had bestowed upon me is awareness of my many talents. I would be false modesty for me to conceal them. Even I sometimes tire of the subject of me. But It can take a long time for me to reach that state. Like now. But enough about me.
