Krauthammer attacks "narcissism" of Hawaii-born, Indonesia-raised Obama for calling himself the "first Pacific president"

I think he would make great Jeff Dunham puppet.

And where is Chucky from again?

Oh Charlie... I'm using one of your many editorials on torture for my college Rhetorical class... I can't wait to completely destroy your work.

I predict an easy time doing so!

For you Conservatives reading this forum Narcissism means vanity - just so you can follow the thread.

Yes, and the mean spirited nastiness of Charles Krauthammer is unbounded and reflected in his dour expression. His attempt to make earlier presidents match the unusual biography of Obama would be laughable if not so unnecessary and spiteful. Maybe some ghosts will visit him on Christmas Eve.

Maybe Obama should have called himself the first Jewish president since all of these unbounded cretins like Krauthammer enjoy calling him the baby Jesus.

this is an example of krauthammer creating a story, where none exists. i missed obama taking credit for all things "pacific". krauthammer says that obama "presumably" grew up in hawaii, which puts krauthammer strongly in the birther camp. under krauthammer's "logic", i (myself)could not call myself an american, because i wasn't there at the founding of this great nation. so, people from hawaii can't call themselves "pacific" because they didn't fight in world war II?? how many times did we hear the bush was a texan? last i checked, bush wasn't defending texas at the alamo. this is a ridiculous argument, and shows that krauthammer has no credibility on any matter.

Krauthammer obviously confuses being the "First Pacific President" with "The First President to Do Anything on, near or around the Pacific". Talk about your strawmen. Jeesh!

Krauthammer calling Obama narcissistic is a bit like the pot calling the kettle... I take that back... Krauthammer calling Obama narcissistic is a bit like the pot calling Moby Dick black.

Oh, gee, all those guys you mentioned were born in the eastern part of the U.S., (except Ike) and came to the Pacific after they were adults. The President grew up in Hawaii. He lived there for most of his first 18 years. He does have the warmth and gracious tolerance that I came to see in the Hawaiians I met in three visits to the state. Only Richard Nixon comes anywhere near to being a Pacific President, because he was born and raised in California, and as much as I love California, the attitude isn't quite the same as Hawaii, the 50th state, which Charlie says is "some island in the Pacific." I knew a psychiatrist a while back, she said she watched him on the news and in her opinion, he was completely disconnected from reality.

hahahaha the man in the flying suit thinking the war is over

Chuck Krauthammer takes "pathetic" to a whole new level.

It's not narcissism on the part of Obama, although I would say it's a bit silly to even bother identifying yourself as a "Pacific President," as though that should give you greater standing in Asia. Silly, but not narcissistic.

But he was born in Kenya, right?

"And where is Chucky from again?"

I do not know for sure what his birth certificate says, but he is most definitely Israeli, something I'm not allowed to write or say even though this is a "free country".

This angry, insanely homicidal little man reminds me of the wheelchair bound fascist in "Dr. Strangelove".

Ironically Obama's Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel is the son of an Israeli bomb throwing terrorist, something I'm ashamed to say I learned from Michael Savage.

American politics is completely inside out and upside down.

The bitter, malevolent ex-psychiatrist Krauthammer is one of the most intellectually dishonest pundits out there. He has a barely suppressed envy of Barack Obama's success and charisma, and he projects all the combined narcissism and hubris of Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck et al on to Obama. He needs to see a shrink.

Obama was born in the Pacific region, and spend most or all of his childhood life in and around the Pacific in various parts of it. That's all he's saying. Sure those other Presidents did stuff in the Pacific, but who cares? They weren't born there.

I love how Rush Limbaugh stumbled upon the word 'narcissist' in the dictionary and thought it was cool, so now every conservative on the face of the planet is parroting it.

Krauthammer being a member of FOX's humbly-named ALL STAR PANEL.

If Dr. Charles Krauthammer tels you "you are crazy" --- believe it!

That is not narcistic. Talk about something else besides where the president was born. Something actually worth debating. SMH!

Charles is filled with Rage. Could it be that he is mad at the world and filled with anger & hostility because he feels he was paralyzed at such a young age and robbed of the opportunity to present his infallible genius to the world- unrestrained. He belongs to his last name....what an ugly personality.

Using his logic, every soldier that ever runs for President can now claim to be the first President from whatever country they were serving in during their tour. Well, he pretty much made any relation to the Pacific as having been "from" the Pacific. I guess that means I'm actually FROM Disney World, since I've been there once.
