Reading what Obama said in full, I am a bit disgusted in the fact you've tried to characterize what is a hopeful, positive speech in such base and degrading terms.
He is not characterizing himself in proud terms. He is talking about his hope for what the ideas he stands for can accomplish in the world. He begins the list of his hopes for what can be accomplished with a recognition of the fact he can not do it alone, that he is limited, and the task is daunting.
But this is his hope and belief in what is possible as the people that support him work together for good things in the world.
There is no comparison between this and the destructive, hostile, me-centric rhetoric of Donald Trump. And there is NO comparison between what Obama was saying then and Trump's proclamation of himself now as 'the chosen one'
