Greek Orthodox Archbishop Demetrios likened Barack to Alexander the Great at the WH this evening...

Most men would get all puffed up at such a compliment. So what does our President say?

From TIME:

Obama: "I will tell Michelle I have been compared to Alexander the Great. I will see if that gets me a little more respect..."

Comes during event celebrating Greek Independence Day.

1. LOL!! Hillarious! I love my President! n/t

:rofl:

[monmouth]

2. The look our VP Biden gave to POTUS was a hoot. Very funny. I

just hope it's not seen as "flippant" from this lovely compliment. I'm tuned into the nutz and know how they spin. Like in....5,4,3,2........

3. I can hear Michelle now:

Ok Alex, now take out the trash :rofl:

4. it's a bit early for that kind of comparison ...

Jeez. The guy has only had the job for two months ...

5. Hell, he should be called that just for taking on the thankless efn job. n/t

6. "She's still the boss"! The look between

PObama and VPBiden is Priceless:D

[and-justice-for-all]

7. In what sense?

Alexander the Great was an Imperialist and a conqueror of other countries. Obama is not trying to expand the US Empire, but if you want to think of his recent challenges as things he is trying to conquer..well, OK then.

8. He was referencing the Gordian Knot

Alexander the Great was the only one able to figure out how to untie it.
