Obama's crime? Acting too presidential
Great article from the LA Times. May have been posted, but I haven't noticed it.

America, meet Barack The Arrogant.

Did you hear, this guy's already talking about redecorating the Lincoln Bedroom? Or that a few weeks back, he stood behind a podium bearing a faux presidential seal? The young upstart from Illinois has even got his minions planning a White House transition!

We have reporters, columnists and TV talking heads to thank for exposing these outrageous displays. So apparently the verdict is in: Sen. Barack Obama, too confident to govern.

It all would be quite funny if many people didn't seem to be inhaling this multimedia stink bomb as if it were fragrant truth.

2. Is he really too sophisticated for these constipated Repugs?
Are they afraid because he's lived overseas, gone to college, married a college graduate, chews with his mouth closed, and can speak without embarrassing himself, unlike McCain't and his hero, DUH-bya?

3. The Republicans like to attack a Democrats strength
In this case, Obama's easy confidence and charisma.

They don't have it and don't want anyone else to have it either.

Wretched souls.

4. It doesn't help to be smart and brilliant if you don't have trust.
It also doesn't help that Bill Clinton can't say Obama is ready to be President.

Bill Clinton needs to stay out of the limelight if he isn't able to fully support the candidate.

5. They say that like it's a Bad Thing ... After 8 hideous years of embarrassment from Duh-bya ...
