Speaking to a bunch of Democratic congress-crtitters last night, Barack Obama proved beyond any measure of a doubt that his ego has completely run away with him. Quoth the longtime community organizer:

"I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions."

Somehow I don't see this magnificent flight of ego restoring the missing Obama bounce. Exit question: Will this be a gaffe so large that it removes the Landstuhl fiasco from the headlines?
