You have got to be kidding me.

Realistically, "Barack Obama '08, President" means the same thing and doesn't mean the same thing as a chair that says "Mr. President."

As for "O-Force One," I think it's actually kind of clever. As much as I dislike Obama, this kind of thing is normal. Athletes visualize themselves in the winner's circle, and I'm pretty sure it'd be normal for a fighter getting ready for a boxing match to be saying "Joe Smith, Heavyweight Champion of the World!" to himself.

There's plenty of hubris to tag Obama on; this isn't much, if anything.; 5:33 PM, August 04, 2008
