Obama Nixes Stupid 'Great Seal' Remake

The national press corps is not used to covering a "confident" Democratic presidential candidate, at least in this decade. So much confidence, in fact, that the candidate won't always bend over backwards to talk to the press, or to leak internal drama to the press! Ergo, the press has decided that Obama is arrogant. And when they saw Obama speak behind this new "great seal" of his on Friday -- definitely the lamest stunt we can remember from Hopey -- this confirmed to the press that Obama is too arrogant. Obama arrogantly got the message and arrogantly ditched the great seal and did some other arrogant stuff, like believe he might actually win this thing. [ Marc Ambinder ]
