Hubris

It was good that President Obama spoke of America's need to reflect and not assume that power alone does not protect nor entitle America to do as it pleases.  For the past 8 years America has shown a very unattractive side of itself to the world - a hubris ridden face that almost begged for divine retribution in the best traditions of tragedy.

Anyway a politician cautioning against hubris -- that really is a first.
