Obama's Fatal Flaw - Arrogance?

"To know me is to love me."

"Every place is Barack Obama country once Barack Obama's been there."

"A light will shine down from somewhere. "It will light upon you," he continued. "You will experience an epiphany. And you will say to yourself, I have to vote for Barack. I have to do it."


Just a few Barackisms that Ron Fournier of the Associated Press has collected.

Even Michelle gets into the act.

"Barack is one of the smartest people you will ever encounter who will deign to enter this messy thing called politics,"


Fournier also makes very important point missed by the rest of the Obama loving mainstream media.

While he deserves credit for forecasting the complications of war in 2002, Obama's opposition carried scant political risk because he was a little-known state lawmaker courting liberal voters in Illinois. In 2004, when denouncing the war and war-enabling Democrats would have jeopardized his prized speaking role at the Democratic National Convention, Obama ducked the issue.


Does the sudden media scrutiny mean that Obama is toast?

Could be. Mickey Kaus is predicting a 20-25 point loss for Obama in Pennsylvania, with bonus Obama contractions - just the sort of error one would predict from a candidate enraptured by his own smooth talk.
