That Twitter user didn’t have long to wait to receive an answer to his question.

President Obama spoke in Cape Town, South Africa Sunday afternoon. Lo and behold, guess who he managed to make the speech all about:

See Obama is managing to take issue of health of Nelson Mandela to make a speech about Barack Obama in Cape Town.

Laser-like focus … on himself. As always!
Twitter users couldn’t help but notice the obvious narcissism and they have had quite enough of it.
@obama is making up another story about his past trying to get compared to Nelson Mandela

There he goes again….Obama is in South Africa talking about his favorite subject. Himself.

Yep. Also not believable?
Yes. Obama just said, "I have never cared much for politics." #go

“@AJELive: #Obama: I took my first step into political life because of #Mandela | http://t.co/wErvH8uBhj” – Yet Obama is nothing like him.

If Mandela is truly Obamas inspiration, Obama should try living like him, meagerly! Stop golf, jet setting and partying! Hypocrite!

But … he’s you! And Nelson Mandela, evidently.
President Obama also shockingly admitted that he wasn’t quite focused during college (hello, Choom Boom!):
"I confess, I was not always focused on my studies. I was distracted, and I enjoyed those distractions"- college in a nutshell from #Obama
— Stacy Sullivan (@Whycatssullivan) June 30, 2013
Obama says he wasn't focused on studies in school…Let me guess which subjects: Math/Economics & Spirit of Constitution #tcot

Zing!
And an excellent exit point:
