>Obama's need to be seen as Jesus Christ Superstar. They have to "remake the world," "stop the rise of the oceans," "we are the change we've been waiting for." The Obamas keep getting drawn into that blind spot, even when it's not smart politically. Arrogance is their Achilles' heel. That's why the PR rally in Berlin drew them so magnetically. "People of Berlin, people of the world, this is our moment. This is our time..." A Nuremberg-style mass rally in Germany is not exactly the natural stage for an American presidential candidate to strut his stuff. It's exactly the opposite of the usual politician's schtick in America. "I'm just a little ole country boy" assures the voters that you don't have the swelled head. Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, Jimmy Carter, even an egomaniac like LBJ knew that much. But the Obamas don't seem to care. The temptation of Ego Tripping overwhelms their common sense.< McCain promoted Obama's grand tour to Mecca once he had identified BO's blind spot. He managed to severely wound the Obamessiah's chances in Nov by playing to his opponent's weakness.
