  I work with talent every day and not one day goes by that I don't have to do something "special" for each and every one that I talk to and do business for. I've actually told a few "you might have been on the screen, but you're a&& isn't made of heaven dust - so get over yourself." That seems to shut them up - at least for a little while - they either have that 'I never' look on their face or they get up and walk out; either way, I'm happy. ;)

  TLWGal 37...What are YOU talkin about? Barack Obama is the farthest thing from a big ego...

  On another note, yes, I have worked with a huge egomaniac...He is by far the most annoying person I have ever had to work with! He's in his mid 50's and acts like a 5 year old when he doesn't get his way...And he always thinks his way is the best way

  People let fame and fortune go to there head. Having and big ego in others words is saying hey look at me I'm an a---- because I have wealth beyond average measure........

  There is a difference between someone being over confident for no reason at all and then those with the real deal. It's a different kind of feel than arogance to be made up like everything else around you and still be something more. That's like asking you to respect ants and don't crush them without thinking about it... but that is the way of the world to hate what they can't conquer and destroy what they don't understand. I am in no way comparing anybody to Jesus, but what if he was considered cocky for his time because his truth wouldn't fit thier reality. He was a whole lot more than they would have allowed him to be.

  Barack Obama does not appear to have a big ego. Even if he did, he earned it (got voted into it by an overwelming majority) honestly. Apparently, it was time for a change. I would say the biggest ego was the person who took the country into war claiming "weapons of mass destruction", invaded a country and executed the leader without a rebuild and exit strategy, gave the children "no child left behind", spent trillions of tax payer dollars, and did not apologize for the collapse of the economy fueled by funding a war with a questionable reason as to why this country was invaded initially. Talk about BIG EGO.

  Shreky - That's not a big ego, that's just some serious mismanagement.

  And I've encountered so many big egos, it's ridiculous. Several of them are close friends of mine... I don't know how I put up with it.

  politics and entertainment are interesting industries. the people who tend to go into them tend to be the ones that go into them for the wrong reasons. they are attention-starved and insecure and feed off of the approval they get from others. the actors who do it purely for the art and the politicians that do it purely to serve others are few and far between. and the funny thing is that when the attention-craving types get to the point where people are actually giving it to them and feeding their egos, they fall for the hype and start to feel they are better than others. i guess humility isn't a trait those types posess either. i hope one day american society will wake up and stop feeding egotistical, attention-hungry, fame wh-res and start to value humility and self-deprecation...or at the very least, people who can pretend to posess those virtues.
