one morning last week, I overheard two older women talking about how "narcissitic" and "full of himself" President Obama is and "how 'super-sized' his ego is."

Then the guy behind the counter said, "You know ... anyone that runs for any national office HAS to be full of themselves and MUST have a super-sized ego, how else would anyone believe that they and they alone have the fix for everything that ails the country?"
