"The phrase 'burdens of the office' is overstated," President Bush said today at his 47th and final presser.
"You know, it's kind of like, 'Why me?'" he said, mimicking someone in whiney self-pity. "'Oh, the burdens,' you know. 'Why did the financial collapse have to happen on my watch?'

He's full of it himself, and I ain't talkin' about self-pity
He's the biggest whiner of all.
Bush is a narcissist. He doesn't feel. Period.
His pursed lips, the smirk, the mocking, squeaky little voice.
He is an utterly despicable piece of ex.cre.ment.
Something deeply...DEEPLY...wrong with this man.
Narcissistic personality disorder symptoms may include:
Believing that you're better than others
Fantasizing about power, success and attractiveness
Exaggerating your achievements or talents
Expecting constant praise and admiration
Believing that you're special
Failing to recognize other people's emotions and feelings
Expecting others to go along with your ideas and plans
Taking advantage of others
Expressing disdain for those you feel are inferior
Being jealous of others
Believing that others are jealous of you
Setting unrealistic goals
Being easily hurt and rejected
Having a fragile self-esteem
Appearing as tough-minded or unemotional
Although some features of narcissistic personality disorder may seem like having confidence or strong self-esteem, it's not the same. In contrast, people who have healthy confidence and self-esteem don't value themselves more than they value others.
When you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may come across as conceited, boastful or pretentious. You often monopolize conversations. You may belittle or look down on people you perceive as inferior. You may have a sense of entitlement. And when you don't receive the special treatment to which you feel entitled, you may become very impatient or angry. You may also seek out others you think have the same special talents, power and qualities — people you see as equals.
But underneath all this grandiosity often lies a very fragile self-esteem. You have trouble handling anything that may be perceived as criticism. You may have a sense of secret shame and humiliation.
My God! Does this man have a clue what he is saying or, for that matter, what is going on in the world? Every day is joyous? We could be lighthearted even in the face of deaths in Iraq?
He spent 8 years working on his golf game, fishing, improving his biking speed and running time, yet obviously spent little time doing what we paid him to do. His was the most expensive vacation in global history! I still hope we see him pay for those deaths in Iraq which he mentioned. This sociopath makes me sick!
Didn't any of the reporters have their shoes with them?
Presidents who feel self-pity must have an I.Q. above 60.
We abhor and mock that which we refuse to own in ourselves.
Back on the sauce, eh, Junior?
Prepare for Pretzel Incident, v. 2.0.
What a pathetic factory second.
Self-pity? Don't you mean.... self-awareness?!
Boy, that speaks volumns about the way he was brought up! This is such a psychopath with no regard for guilt or shame, its frightening!
Will they show it again tonight on t.v....We interrupt this program to make you laugh....
Bar tenders will make a mint tonight...
HE MUST BE MOCKING HIMSELF
