A well-timed analysis of the media's infatuation with the Republican meme that Barack Obama is too "presumptuous" to be president. The author is not afraid to point out that there is an ugly racial subtext to much of this. (Disclosure: The author is a friend, he cites my blog, and we talked this through while he was doing his reporting.)

An excellent, insightful, if somewhat rambling, analysis of the Obama narcissism meme in the media.

The real problem is that liberals are elitists who arrogantly believe that their way is the only sensible way and everyone would agree if only people weren't so confused. If Obama is not arrogant he is surely a very unusual Harvard graduate. Obviously the author has a lot of respect for the McCain campaign, probably more respect than it deserves.
