I continue to be amazed by the size of the ego it must take to think you're going to come out of an interview with him looking good. Every single time, they become this meme.

I took this picture of a copy of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 when I visited the (fantastic) National Museum of African American History on a visit to DC a few years ago. I wonder how long before they are both destroyed.
