Pastafarian said...: I'm no psychologist, but I'd say it's the fact that he's never been told that he's not that bright, not that good looking, and not much of a singer.

He's been showered with praise for his whole life. I don't consider what such a person like that then exhibits to be confidence, as much as arrogance.; 3/31/12, 9:07 AM

It's win-win because he hit the jackpot - the Mega Millions of politics.; 3/31/12, 9:08 AM

edutcher said...: If he was that confident, he wouldn't be risking a replay of the race riots of the '60s this summer by ginning up the Trayvon Martin thing.

Particularly after the failure of L'Affaire Fluck.; 3/31/12, 9:59 AM
Petunia said...: What Pastafarian said. Obama's very cunning. But not nearly as intelligent as he and his supporters think he is. And he certainly can't take being told he's not as wonderful as he thinks he is.; 3/31/12, 11:22 AM

mariner said...: He's confident because he knows the game is rigged in favor of Democrats.

It won't matter who votes, as long as Democrats count the votes in enough big cities.; 3/31/12, 1:37 PM

He doesn't know any better. Very common before the fail.; 3/31/12, 1:38 PM
greenlantern said...: @MARINER: please, sit right down, get comfortable, take your shoes off, put your feet up, and have this nice, steaming hot cup of STFU.

It's morons like you who help the "despair merchants" of this world succeed because we judge them as way, way, way, smarter than the great majority of us who know a delusional fraud when we see one.

This might help your perspective:

dbp said...: He is confident because he is surrounded by people who adore him and being bad at math, he doesn't realize that they are not enough to get him re-elected.; 3/31/12, 3:12 PM
walter said...: He got elected after promising "under my plan of cap and trade electricity costs will necessarily skyrocket"
He's Teflon and he knows it.; 3/31/12, 6:13 PM
