DER SPIEGEL: ‘Obama Has a Considerable Ego’. You don’t say.

Meanwhile, Richard Wagner has this take on Obama’s campus tour this fall:

Remember that scene in Groundhog Day where Bill Murray’s character, Phil, was trying to relive the perfect romantic day he previously had with Andie McDowell’s character, and he was just going through to motions as though it should all easily happen again, when it clearly was not going to? That is what Obama is doing right now, with similar results. At the risk of stating the obvious, Obama is Phil, and Obama’s now not-so-enthusiastic 2008 supporters are McDowell’s character.

Well, you tend to repeat what works, until it doesn’t.
