The driving force behind Obama? Ego

And it's also the number one on the list of his character flaws.

Noteworthy:

"That's Obama's sore spot, his biggest character flaw. It's right out there for the world to see. It explains everything about this administration, and foreshadows its inevitable comeuppance.

Meanwhile all the shrewdies in the world, from Putin to A'jad, are getting it. They've seen it before. Been there, done that. All they have to do to seduce the President of the United States is to pump up that beautiful ego balloon a little more, and he will just sag over with abject gratitude. He needs his ego supplies, this guy. He'll do anything to get just a little bit more.

If you're China or Russia or a blood-stained mullah you've seen this flick before. The last Shah of Iran used to call himself 'King of Kings,' a Biblical phrase that goes back to the Persian Emperor Cyrus the Great. Grandiosity is familiar to all the ancient empires of the world. So is the art of flattering kings. They're pros at this.

It's just Americans who don't get it -- yet.

But they will, they will. The only question is how much the country will be damaged, by the time the voters catch on."
