Proverbs 27:2

....is an applicable passage when a second President has evidently characterized himself as "humble." In a Biblical worldview, of course, the moment you say you're humble, you've proven just the opposite. The previous person to make this claim was Mr. William Jefferson Clinton, and it is interesting that Democratic politicians seem to have a need to proclaim their humility. I'd suggest there might be a reason.

In other interesting news, Dear Leader is evidently bragging that tax refunds are bigger this year, as if that proves that the overall tax burden is less. Since there have been no significant reductions in overall tax rates, maybe we should take a look at what's really going on.

Simple; look at the 3% or so of workers (about five million if I calculate correctly) who lost their jobs last year, as they were hit with a double whammy. First of all, their regular income (before they were let go) is taxed as if they'd worked the whole year, and second, any severance received is taxed at a 25% rate as if it were a bonus.

Not surprisingly, these millions have submitted their tax forms, and their refunds are immense.

And in an act of sheer....."humility," Dear Leader has the unmitigated gall to suggest that these huge tax refunds are a good thing. Personally, I'm less than enthusiastic about the fact that I've been required to give Uncle Sam an interest free loan for several thousand dollars for the past year.

I guess that would be why Comrade Obama is praising his own humility. He sure isn't going to get that praise from me.
