Obama's not doing it right: first, he didn't horn in on the

return of the journalists, hugging them on camera and wiping away a manly tear. Then, he gave full praise and credit to Bill Clinton and Al Gore for their work in this. Doesn't he know that as President, he is supposed to be the center of all attention? I bet he even lets the Secret Service guys run ahead of him sometimes.

1. My problem is that he's giving these guys too much attention.

3. Hmmm, I don't think he is. They did a great job and Obama is proud

Sorry. Guess I wasn't clear.

2. Welcome to a new generation of presidents.

Effectiveness over ego. Who gives a shit whether Obama gets the glory? Clinton and the State Department did all the work.

5. and instead of showering himself with glory, Obama outlined

how everyone else worked hard to get those two women home. Like I said, he's not doing it right. At the very least, he should have had them flown in a Navy jet and landed on an aircraft carrier so he could meet them like this:





It would have held up the family reunions, but Bush never let considerations like that stop him.

8. Obama has his ego in check and I love that about him

9. I know! That soooo weird....hey?

10. He has to keep a step away from the whole thing.

Remember....we don't negotiate with terrorist states. Prez. Clinton did it on his own.

[Berry Cool]

11. But you know, with the massive ego the Repugs keep telling us he has,

I just don't understand how he's been able to stay out of the limelight so long.
