He's probably said so much garbage over his lifetime that he can't remember most of it. But every once in a while he'll go back to his old posts and find a couple that were close and say "I told you so, but you didn't believe me last time." Then he'll claim that: "lucky for you, i'm not in the i told you so business," thereby proving that he actually wants to be in that business.
It's fine to be overly optimistic, but rosey seems to have multiple personalities.
