| President Obama loves to insert himself in other people’s biographies. He also loves to honor people, most recently Neil Armstrong and Vice President Biden, with pictures of himself. All. About. Him. His laser-like focus never wavers from his own image. And the narcissism continues: To honor the 57th anniversary of the day Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus, President Obama paid homage with a picture of himself.

Comments: You have to see the picture! He actually posed for this.

This must appeal to the President´s supporters. Seems so ...odd, though, to step into a historic setting, placing himself in place of the history-making person.
As image-making, a case could be argued for the logic of it; the symbolism. From the perspective of political identity, Americans historically have preferred self-effacing leaders.
Seems of a part with the social-promotion, end-zone dance, "look out for number one," culture now current.
One´s personal opinion may be this is creepy and unbecoming, but a majority of the electorate appear to approve.
Seems to to speak well of traditional, bourgeois strength of character. Such a notion is of course outdated and laughable.

What a doofus------Rosa Parks was Black, obama half and half--so is that why he is sitting in the middle of the bus?
Wonder where Biden hung his pix of the doofus--in the bathroom? And, Neil Armstrong--did he place his photo at the memorial services instead of Neil´s? What a DUMB Doofus!

Comments are worth a read. I like the one that says this is the bus Obama has been throwing everyone under. In the pic he looks as though he´s looking at his reflection. I cannot believe that anyone on his staff, in his administration, suggested this photo op. It comes from either himself or The Mooche.

From his main constituents point of view... it cements the historical nature of an African American being POTUS.
However, as an honor to Rosa Parks, it is laughable. It is all about him, him, him...
It gives greater meaning to the finger flipping at the financial mess we are in, or the ability to play golf and plan a vacation when the rest of the country is struggling.

Something bothered me about having seen this photo before. A bit of checking on Google Images found that it was taken at a campaign stop back in April of this year. Now, I certainly join everyone here at Lucianne.com in detesting what Obama stands for but this is a rather unfair criticism.

Obama would make a terrific dictator for some third-world type country. He fits the profile perfectly. Haiti would be a good place. He could declare himself president for life and the Haitians would love it. His "reign of terror" would not be missed in the U.S. nor would his Mussolini like poses.

Unfortunately over half of the voters in the USA today don´t have the intelligence to detect any sort of a problem with Barack Obama posing and sitting on the Rosa Parks bus. They are told over and over again that Obama is doing the best that he can against US institutional racism and that is good enough for them.

I can´t imagine Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, or George W. Bush doing something that is at once so narcissitic and yet so unconscious of the enormous ego on display.
I guess I don´t get it. Are we supposed to think more highly of Rosa Parks because our pResident chose to have himself photographed as she is remembered in history.
On Presidents´ day will he have himself photographed on his knees in the snow praying just before crossing the Delaware, or addressing masses of people at Gettysburg?
Oops...sorry, may have given him ideas.....

Australia faced the same problem about 25 years ago and dealt with it by a simple amendment to the Citizenship Act. " A person born in Australia is only a citizen of Australia by birth, if at least one of his parents is a citizen of Australia or is a legal permanent resident of Australia." Simple and clean.
Some very narrow provisions for persons who are otherwise stateless.

This miserable SOB is why no American flag flies in front of my home anymore.
I put up a church flag that has a cross on it to serve as a reminder that my only true King is the one who bore the pain and death of the cross and that, as Jesus´ subject, I am called to carry the cross and follow Jesus. I will NOT follow Obama.
King Jesus humbled himself and served. Would-be "King Obama" promotes himself and goes to Hawaii for Christmas--on OUR (the taxpayers´) dime.

Incredible? Not with this president.
If he had his way, his enormous face would be plastered on buildings, public and historic squares or areas and on billboards along our highways - as we´ve seen in the Soviet Union, Communist China and Germany in the 30´s and 40´s.
Obama is an extreme narcissist with power - what a sad and dangerous situation for America.
I was counting on this "nightmare" being over by now, but four more years of this little man will seem like an eternity.

Why is it unfair criticism, #24? Everything is about him. His extreme narcissism is grotesque. He is self-absorbed without being self-aware.
He did the same when Neil Armstrong died. How about actually honoring the people he claims to honor by posting a picture of them, along with their accomplishments?
He has done nothing worthwhile, but he inserts himself into history as though he has. Winning the utterly undeserved Nobel Prize is no accomplishment, either.

The man is the most powerful person on the face of the earth, yet his craven need for self-absorption and adulation is scary.
Great presidents show humility because they do realize the enormous power they wield. This man is incapable of humility and given his power, that is a very, very dangerous thing.
It is nearly a month since the election and still every morning I wake up with dread and thinking how could this have happened and how our country will suffer over these next 4 years. God help us all.

It doesn´t matter when he posed or where he posed - the sorry truth is that he attempted to insert himself into a part of (manufactured) history of which he had no part. It was never his struggle - he didn´t even identify himself as black until he was in college and he saw it as fortuitous to do so. By this sordid photo opportunity, he is desecrating what many of his followers hold sacred. Shame on him.

Photo Op! Is it a real bus? I think Barry might be unwinding. And I know it might seem off topic, but why is NASA blithering on about Mayan death dates?

Obama puts me in mind of Zelig, the neurotic Woody Allen character.
It´s always about him, whether it´s Neal Armstrong´s death, Rosa Parks´ anniversary, or just a speech where he says "I" more than any other pronoun.

A comment under the article states that conservatives just don´t get it....that O has intentionally placed himself in a seat in which 50 years ago he could have been arrested for sitting there. In other words....Obama is justified to sit there making such a magnanimous tribute to Rosa because now He, a Black man, can sit where he wants to - in fact, he - a Black man - has become president...all due to Rosa. This reminds me of a recently retired bishop who in his closing newsletter thanked the countless people who throughout the years who had been touched by his writing.

On Easter Sunday, Google is honoring the birthday of the late labor organizer Cesar Chavez by placing a Chavez portrait within the middle “o” of the Google logo that appears on the homepage of the popular search engine. While Google frequently decorates its logo to celebrate various holidays and special events, it is unclear why the company chose specifically to honor Chavez’s birthday, instead of Easter Sunday. Chavez co-founded the organization now known as the United Farm Workers union (UFW). He became an iconic figure in the labor movement, with his stature only increasing since his death

Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt.

Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Congress and the American people need to know what happened the night of Sept. 11, 2012. Who did the killing and what was their motive? Why wasn´t help sent? And why did the administration lie about who was responsible? Members of Congress have asked hundreds of questions at hearings conducted by several investigative committees, but many of the most significant have been left unanswered.

John McCain, who on Sunday’s “Face the Nation” on CBS questioned those Republicans who are threatening a filibuster on pending gun control legislation.

Margaret Thatcher had more impact on the world than any woman ruler since Catherine the Great of Russia. Not only did she turn around—decisively—the British economy in the 1980s, she also saw her methods copied in more than 50 countries. "Thatcherism" was the most popular and successful way of running a country in the last quarter of the 20th century and into the 21st. Her origins were humble. Born Oct. 13, 1925, she was the daughter of a grocer in the Lincolnshire town of Grantham. Alfred Roberts was no ordinary shopkeeper.
