One thing life has taught me is the little things are what people judge the most. This goes back to the middle ages and the days of chivalry when a knight would pick up a scarf dropped to the ground by a princess.

I could never be a knight.

With my back, that scarf would hit the ground and I would just stare at it.

But I digress.

Let me fast forward to more recent times.

When I got my first car, not as far back as the middle ages, but this was before you could unlock the doors by remote, so things were tough. I would unlock and open the door for whatever girl I was with.

Romantic little cuss, wasn’t I?

If the girl reached over and unlocked my door, I judged her to be considerate. Of course, we cannot come to conclusions about people from one simple gesture, we look for patterns.

President Obama has been called a narcissist by some people.

I’m one of them.

If you Google “Obama narcissism” you will see I’m not alone.

In this week, when the President made public his grand evolution on gay marriage, it was the little things that transpired which got attention.

First, the President was so anxious to get out and campaign he exited Airforce One forgetting First Lady Michelle Obama.

Then there was President Obama saying, during his grand announcement, “I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf .” Contrary to what some would like to believe, this statement has raised eyebrows in many forums. They are even talking about it in Canada.
