Obama Compares Himself To Great American Presidents By now, we all know that President Obama has a bit of an ego (and yes, were aware that is an understatement). However, recent statements show that his perception of his presidency may be even more grandiose than anyone could have imagined. In fact, when he was discussing the recent exchange of Taliban prisoners, Obama even compared himself to some of the most adored presidents in history. In his conversations with Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, Obama claimed that exchanges are simply what happens at the end of wars. He continued on to claim, That was true for George Washington, that was true for Abraham Lincoln, that was true for FDR. Thats been true of every combat situation, that at some point, you make sure that you try to get your folks back. And thats the right thing to do. While there is some truth in theory to Obamas remarks, the War on Terror can hardly be compared to the Civil War. By aligning himself with American heroes, Obama is trying to distract from the fact that he recent actions broke the law. What do you think? Should Obama be considered a great president?
