Did you happen to read Dana Milbank’s column in the WaPO yesterday [1]? Here it is in summation:
As he marches toward Inauguration Day (Election Day is but a milestone on that path), Obama’s biggest challenger may not be Republican John McCain but rather his own hubris.
Obama’s new-found celebrity status prompted him to say to a room-full or adoring fellow Democratic lawmakers:
“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.”
Talk about ego! It’s only one of the things that prompted Milbank to lead his column:
Barack Obama has long been his party’s presumptive nominee. Now he’s becoming its presumptuous nominee.
