That Twitter user is not alone. As Twitchy reported yesterday, President Stompy Foot let his angry out. Today, is he back to full-blown ego? President Obama spoke at the interfaith service in Boston earlier.

“We may be momentarily knocked off our feet, but we will pick ourselves up. We will keep going. We will finish the race.” —President Obama

While we all whole-heartedly agree with that sentiment, many Twitter users noticed that President Ego seemed to make the interfaith Boston memorial service all about him. As usual.

Obama thinks that the only thing that gives Boston meaning is its connection to him.

“@BostonGlobe: Obama, a Harvard Law School graduate, says "There is a piece of Boston in me.'” OMG, it's always about "him"!

Words cannot express how disgusted I am with President Obama every time he co-opts a national tragedy to make it all about him.

Always about him. MT @theblaze: Obama: BOS welcomed me to a convention when I was still an IL senator & few people pronounced my name right.

I'm shutting this Barack Obama egofest of a speech off to watch former President Bush's speech at the National Cathedral after 9/11.

When terrorists hit us on 9/11 Bush brought the country together, terrorists hit Boston and Obama makes it about him and Boston??

@HappeningNow Obama's speech. Embarrassing.Read the whole thing, inappropriate tone sounds like a campaign speech and finally about him.

I have to tell you, I'm just aghast that Obama delivered that speech like it was a campaign rally.

#Obama's gestures may comfort some. But his post-tragedy speeches ring so hollow. #Boston is still great without him.

Some disagreed, including actor Drew Carey.
Doing cardio to Obama's speech in #Boston. He's making it easy for me. Great speech. #inspiring.

Ill give it to Obama, I may not be a fan of him politically, but that was one hell of a rally round the flag speech.
— Ben (@Benjamin_FM) April 18, 2013
Not an obama person but that speech was unreal. Fantastic job by him

Nice remarks by @BarackObama to help uplift the good people of Boston.
