I was saying of course to you.

Sure.  How can you on the one hand agree that an iPod of his own speeches was a goofy present but claim that on the other that an accusation of narcissism is "a conservative thing?"

Goofy doesn't equal narcissism.  Of course it may in conservative doublethink, where a man can be an Athiest and a Muslim, a Communist and a Nazi, receive welfare as a child and come from a privileged background etc.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You're right.  But there were plenty of people who thought it was presumptious and self centered and nacissistic to give the queen recordings of his own speeches.

So plenty of people thought that, but it's still a conservative thing.

It was a magnificent gift. Without we Brits would never have had the joy of learning that the WH protocol chief is called Randy Bumgardner.

I have this image in my head that I can't get out every time I read this thread title. I see Obama sitting in front of a panel full of unmarked buttons pressing random ones until he hits the right or the wrong one.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Yeah.  Plenty of people are conservatives.  I don't disagree with that.  I'm just amused by ever growing list of invectives tossed at the President.  Who would have thought that a complete monster with no redeeming qualities could be elected President of the US?

Raz, stop picking on Nixon, it'll just upset Neil.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Maybe Obama could play 15 games of spades with Putin.

Man, I want to play spades.  Never was particularly good at poker, but with a decent partner I was dynamite at spades.  Turns out it was never hugely popular outside of my high school. <_<

So now only conservatives thought Obama's gift was narcissistic?  Before you agreed that it wasn't just conservatives.
