Barack Obama Watch: The Presumptuous Nominee

As he marches toward Inauguration Day (Election Day is but a milestone on that path), Obama’s biggest challenger may not be Republican John McCain but rather his own hubris.

Some say the supremely confident Obama — nearly 100 days from the election, he pronounces that “the odds of us winning are very good” — has become a president-in-waiting. But in truth, he doesn’t need to wait: He has already amassed the trappings of the office, without those pesky decisions.

Not bad for a rookie (serving less than even one term) in the United States Senate. After all, he is the Obamessiah for the Democrats and apparently the Germans.
