Charles Krauthammer writing yesterday in The
Washington Post bemoaned the tendency of our president to belittle America while beatifying himself.
Obama is not the first president with a large streak of narcissism. But the others had equally expansive feelings about their country. Obama's modesty about America would be more understandable if he treated himself with the same reserve. What is odd is to have a president so convinced of his own magnificence -- yet not of his own country's.
