My Battle for Humility
The television stations are showing images of ordinary Muslims from Cairo to Tehran to Karachi to Jakarta smiling and nodding vigorously while watching my speech from their local cafes.
Having lived in Indonesia, I understand the Muslim ways. I get the importance of humility. But when I toured the Egyptian pyramids today and saw how the Great Sphinx of Giza had been recarved into the Great Obama Sphinx, I felt overwhelmed with pride. I felt larger than life. I felt like an Egyptian God!!!
I have many more stops on this foreign trip; many more speeches to give. My Battle for Humility has just begun.
Nope, this is not the official website of The White House. It's a parody of whitehouse.gov. No person, department, or agency of the U.S. Government
approved, endorsed, or authorized this site. No animals were harmed while making this website (except maybe
that one time when I was a little late feeding my dog his dinner).
