Obama Hubris

It might be the guy's biggest problem...

"#1: Announcement Speech: But really, it's not like he didn't warn us. Anyone rubbing their eyes and asking if maybe, just maybe, this guy is a little too full of himself wasn't paying attention when he made the formal announcement of his candidacy in February last year (not to mention his 2004 convention speech but space does not allow...). Speaking in front of the building where Abraham Lincoln began his political career, Obama referred to that "tall, gangly, self-made Springfield lawyer", in such a blatant attempt to steal Lincoln's mantle that he may as well have been wearing a false beard and breeches. Let's think about that. Lincoln's CV: ended slavery, led the country through a civil war. Obama's: passed Illinois's first earned-income tax credit. Now, that is what I call audacious."

Ouch.
