The Presumptuous Candidate
By SusanUnPC on July 25, 2008 at 2:42 PM in Barack Obama
Obama’s campaign reeks of entitlement. Note these presumptuous remarks:
When Jim Steinberg, Bill Clinton’s former national security adviser, told reporters that during four years in the White House he had never had to go on the record for a briefing there was a chorus of retorts that Obama wasn’t in the White House.
The same day, during a testy exchange in which Team Obama persisted with the preposterous contention that the Berlin speech was not a campaign event, Susan Rice, another Obama foreign policy aide, was also accused of hubris.
“It is not going to be a political speech,’ she said. “When the President of the United States goes and gives a speech, it is not a political speech or a political rally.” A reporter reminded her: “But he is not President of the United States.”
