This is a great example of the way Obama is being controlled by his handlers. Two days ago, he made repeated gaffes, referring to himself as though he were a president. Today, he says this, in response to a question posed about him speaking in Germany versus JFK or Reagan --

"You know, they were presidents," Obama said, " I am a citizen.

The problem with this is that while he said it, he doesn't believe it. He was pompous enough to think he should be allowed to speak at the Brandenburg Gate. Two days ago, he let it slip multiple times about how "presidents" can do this or that, in spite of the fact he is merely a candidate.

His handlers are doing an excellent job of correcting his gaffes so that he can change his presentation.

But it doesn't change the arrogance or elitism that underlies the original statements.

I like the way CJ put it. In this case, the self-deification.
