"This isn't about me."
The president doth protest too much.
We first heard this amusing bit of presidential deception during the campaign, when Obama attacked his critics for criticizing his planned policies. "They want to make this about me," he said. "This isn't about me. It's about you."
Bama, please! His crafty disingenuousness knows no bounds.
He used the same turn of phrase over the last week when discussing the need to pass his nationalization plan for health care: "This isn't about me."
And yet. The National Journal reports that Senator Charles Grassley had a conversation with a Democratic Congressman who had been in health care meetings with Obama. That Congressman was the target of this plaintive appeal from the president: If you don't pass my plan, "you're going to destroy my presidency."
Not about him, huh?
It's always about him.
Caesar needs more power. The Emperor is hungry. He must be fed.
