Hey, Barry--get over yourself ping!!!

From the Washington Post today:

Inside, according to a witness, he told the House members, "This is the moment . . . that the world is waiting for," adding: "I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions."

[Bahbah]

I would like to hear what those “best traditions” are.

Thanks for the ping!

He seems to have the despair part under control, but the pride could be a problem.

It's not even close to pride. It's at least arrogance, but probably more like narcissism.

In the latest issue of the New Republic, Gabriel Sherman found reporters complaining that Obama's campaign was "acting like the Prom Queen" and being more secretive than Bush. The magazine quoted the New York Times' Adam Nagourney's reaction to the Obama campaign's memo attacking one of his stories: "I've never had an experience like this, with this campaign or others." Then came Obama's overseas trip and the campaign's selection of which news organizations could come aboard. Among those excluded: the New Yorker magazine, which had just published a satirical cover about Obama that offended the campaign.

When the New Republic and the NYT start to turn on you, you know you've got problems.

"This is the moment . . . that the world is waiting for," adding: "I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions."

Wow ... His ego is off the charts.

I'm beginning to think this half-term senator actually believes he IS the messiah.
