'President' Obama's pretentions fly high


CBS needs a photoshop geek. Their photo of Obama's campaign jet seat with "Obama '08 President" embroidered on the headrest leaves a bit to be desired in the quality department.

But the story titled O-Force One is yet another sign that Obama's campaign is in deep doo-doo.
Barack Obama’s new campaign plane is nothing short of grand. Well, for the candidate that is.

Obama’s section of the plane rivals that of any first class. Recently the front cabin of the Boeing 757 was retrofitted to install four individual chairs that resemble La-Z-Boys. They are free-standing and made of plush leather with pockets on the sides. There is also a booth which seats four for a meeting or a meal.

His chair has his name and campaign logo embroidered on the back top -- “Obama ‘08” on one line and “President” underneath.
Your hubris-meter has pegged when you allow reporters and photographers to confirm what had previously been only informed chatter on the right-wing blogs, that "President Obama" has already moved himself into the White House, in his own mind. How will this "fly" in Peoria?
