When people say that when Obama speaks it is all about Obama, they could be on to something. Via Byron York

Yes, those are the words of the president, last night at the Democratic National Committee fundraiser in Washington. After listing his administration’s accomplishments and vowing that “our most urgent task is job creation,” Obama pledged to keep fighting for a national health care system. “We knew this was hard,” Obama said. And then he described a letter he received from a campaign worker who suffered from breast cancer and has since died:

I got a letter — I got a note today from one of my staff — they forwarded it to me — from a woman in St. Louis who had been part of our campaign, very active, who had passed away from breast cancer. She didn’t have insurance. She couldn’t afford it, so she had put off having the kind of exams that she needed. And she had fought a tough battle for four years. All through the campaign she was fighting it, but finally she succumbed to it. And she insisted she’s going to be buried in an Obama t-shirt.

As Byron mentions, this is not about making fun of the woman, whatever her name is, since Obama couldn’t be bothered to learn what it was. This is about a president who just cannot avoid making everything all about himself. He also didn’t take the time to learn that the woman did, in fact, have some health insurance.

As the saying goes, just imagine had Bush pulled something like this, along with his “corpse-man” gaffe. Imagine the non-stop coverage by the Old Media, telling us how dumb Bush was, and how this was disrespectful. Imagine the MSM investigating the deceased for weeks. As Ace writes

Everyone is the hero of their own life-story, as they say.

President Obama is proud to steal scenes in everyone else’s life-movie too.
