Maybe President Obama is a private tyrant. I don't know how his cabinet operates internally -- and no one in the public will know until the memoirs come out in a decade or so.
But saying "I" and "my" was not arrogance. It was taking personal responsibility for his administration's actions. And I say good for him!

MI is doing worse than Dion.
On the “beer” question, Layton (29%) is clearly ahead of Prime Minister Stephen Harper (16%), Bloc Québécois leader Gilles Duceppe (10%) and Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff (6%).
The NDP leader also garners the largest proportion of mentions for serving as a babysitter (22%) and being on a respondent’s own sports team (22%).
Ignatieff was selected by 25 per cent of respondents as a partner on a trivia quiz team, and 22 per cent say the Liberal leader would provide a good recommendation on a book to read.
Harper leads as the preferred person to deal with a terrorist attack (36%), negotiate with U.S. President Barack Obama on trade and security issues (33%), negotiate with Russia over arctic sovereignty (32%), face a new Quebec referendum (29%), and represent the country at the next round of climate change talks (25%, followed by Layton with 22%).
About half of Canadians say they are not interested in reading the memoirs of the four party leaders, watching them on a reality television show, or finding out what they were like in high school.
