Sun Editor Has Obama Syndrome

With President Obama, it's all about him.  Obama believes the world revolves around him and apparently, the Las Vegas Sun editor, Brian "The Coward" Greenspun has developed the same syndrome.
From the Sun: The assassination of President John F. Kennedy changed the course of this country and, therefore, the world.  http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2013/nov/24/fifty-years-later-reflecting-what-might-have-been/
Ok, that souns good.
But...
I remember what I did because just two days earlier, on Nov. 20, 1963, the Las Vegas Sun newspaper building burned, or was burned, to the ground. My parents were in Europe at that time, so a long-distance call by my father’s assistant, Ruthe Deskin, was placed to him in Switzerland.
In those days, a call required some notice between the placing of the call and the recipient’s ability to accept it. That meant my parents had an hour or so to wonder what the great “emergency” was that would cause Ruthe to make such a call.
As my father later explained it, all manner of emergency ran through his head to the point where he had become convinced something terrible had happened to one of his children, a thought neither of my parents could bear to contemplate.
When Ruthe explained that an early-morning fire had burned the building to the ground, my father’s response was, “Is that all?”
Of course, losing the Las Vegas Sun was a crushing blow to Dad, but it paled in comparison to what he had conjured up. It was just a building, a press, some equipment and his newspaper. It could all be rebuilt. Thank God no one was hurt!
So two days later, when the tragic news of the Kennedy assassination came over the loudspeaker, there was no question what I would do. My friend Joel Goot and I headed to the Review-Journal, which had agreed to print the Las Vegas Sun for a short period of time while we made other arrangements. We loaded his father’s Chevrolet with editions of the paper and headed toward the airport...
Ok, so what does the burning down of the Las Vegas Sun printing press have to do with Kennedy being killed?
It has nothing to do with Kennedy being killed.
But it is all about Coward Greenspun thinking he is the almighty when it comes to liberalism in the Las Vegas Valley, which of course is crap.
But, unfortunately, it appears that Obama Syndrome, where it is all about me as the major symptom, is an infectious disease and that only liberals can get.
