Lord Obama

In an excellent article Charles Krauthammer writes of Obama's grandiose image of himself. I, personally, have never seen a candidate like him and I've seen alot of presidential candidates. It takes powerful ambition along with a strong ego to take on the task of running for President. However, ambition and ego must be balanced with the knowledge that as President one is only human and not god-like. Obama is not the messiah although it appears that he and his wife may think he is. It also appears that there are many who agree. And the press is so invested in his candidacy that they don't have an objective eye. As the campaign goes on we're seeing more of who Obama thinks he is and it's not a pretty picture.
