Just wait till you hear what Didn't air on 60 Minutes! Odimwit's appreciation of himself in full view! Americans want presidents who have confidence in their abilities. That's part of being a leader. But to be so egotistical to compare yourself to Abe Lincoln is to take flight from reality. CBS probably realized this which is why they strategically cut the remarks from their final edit of the interview.George Washington was the father of our country.

Eh! No big deal. Barack Obama is better...at least in his own mind. Such was the laughably absurd claim of President Obama on 60 Minutes last Sunday. What? You didn't see it? That was because 60 Minutes conveniently left it out of its broadcast. If you want to see Obama engage in this latest bit of over the top braggadocio you can only see it at the online 60 Minutes Overtime which has a videoof the entire interview. You can catch Obama's excessive praise of himself at the tail end of the interview starting with Steve Kroft's question just before the 55 minute mark:

This is a grossly delusional self assessment by obama. Even his boot-licking media whores realized how stupid that remark was and cut it from being aired with the rest of the interview.

The entire context of the interview after the introduction, and before the closing. They did not ask him a legitimate question, that has and substance to it.

I used to think that every President had a high opinion of himself. But this...!

He certainly has a high opinion of self and, looking at the polls, he may end up being the only one with that high opinion

I'm not too keen on the legal strings, but if it's on the cutting room floor...I imagine it's fair play.
