Barack Obama is the greatest narcissist in the history of the Oval Office. Recently his Regime inserted Obama into the biographies of many of the former Presidents. Most Americans laughed at the ego of Obama.
But there is a lesson Obama could learn from a man who once sat in the Oval Office.
What is that lesson?
Before Dwight Eisenhower became President of the United States, he was the Supreme Commander in Europe during World War II. Without a doubt the toughest decision Eisenhower had to make during his command during World War II and probably the toughest decision of his life was the go or no go decision for the D-Day invasion.
This decision was not easy nor was the outcome certain either.
68 years ago tonight Eisenhower penned a letter. That letter spoke to nature of the man and his character. Obama could learn a lot from what Ike did.
On June 5, 1944, Eisenhower wrote:
"Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that Bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone."
The invasion had not taken place. At the time Eisenhower wrote this handwritten note, the leading wave of the invasion, the paratroopers of the United States Army were in the air, soon to land in occupied France.
Had the D-Day invasion failed, Eisenhower was fully prepared to take total responsibility for the failure. He did not make excuses nor did he blame George Bush.
Obama could learn from this man.
While Obama has very few accomplishments to talk about, he gets credit for none of them.
Why?
If you are going to get credit for doing the good things, you have to take responsibility for that which goes wrong.
That is a lesson Barack Obama has never learned.

Attempting to pass off blame for ones own failures does not nullify ones ownership of them.
