One word jumped out and slapped me in the face during the debate on foreign policy last Monday, “me.”
President Obama was making a point about his position on a nuclear Iran when he said this:
“They can take the diplomatic route and end their nuclear program or they will have to face a united world and a United States president, me, who said we’re not going to take any options off the table.”
Did he really need remind us that he is the president? Doesn’t the office speak for itself? That one word slipped into the sentence, a word not needed exposed the true character of this man. His ego is as large as China. It is baffling why the addition of the word “me” into his argument made it any stronger. Except, that he was trying to demean us with his power as president. Maybe he was trying to insinuate to the Iranians that he got Bin Laden and he will get them too. It is a mystery. Perhaps someone will be nice enough to help me figure it out.
From a highway somewhere in America
“. . . and certainly not Me the People.”

Is it true? It sticks out. Sounds more like the CEO of a corporation than the President of a country.
Ankur: Yes it is true. I heard him say it. To make sure I heard it correctly I pulled the quote out of the transcript of the debate.
