Voter narcissism 169
From Instapundit:
I think Obama’s “charisma” was based on voter narcissism — people excited not just about electing a black President, but about themselves, voting for a black President. Now that’s over, and they’re stuck just with him, and emptied of their own narcissism there’s not much there to fill out the suit.
We have had the same thought. We call it moral vanity. And racism.
