Obama's vanity or America's hypocricy?

So I read this piece in the Washington Post on the vanities of Democratic hopeful Barack Obama and I wondered: Is that not the hallmark of American psychology? Is that not what America represents for all the rest of the world. Why should a columnist list the 'oddities' in the raising profile of a 'good' political personality like BArack Obama and conclude that the lawyer politician should tell the people who he thinks he is? I am confused.

My confusion does not come from not actually knowing Obama for the short space of his ascention to prominence; it does come from my continued apprehension of the tools employed by the American press to deal with their subjects. This is a man seemingly in tune with the aspirations of the people, whose image as a Muslim lover is daily cristicised because America is a christain country with good christain values; here is a man who places himself as a change agent, yet would quickly distance himself from anybody whose opinions differ from the main stream American psychology as the 'best of the best' of God's own people; Obama is arctypical America, yet his desire to show himself as such is now being criticised. Maybe, the man should have waited to be president.

In the event he is elected (certainly, the majority would have indicated they love him), the likes of Charles K would reshape their attitute. They may be forced to appreciate the fact that America is ably portrayed by Obama. If his actions amount to vanity, print USA in all the spaces that Obama appear and read the story to yourself. You have the picture. That is the image that comes across every day.

Nine to one, Obama will not be elected the next President of the United States of Americ. It will not be because he is not qualified; it will be because he represents the type of single mindedness which the illusive American establishment resents and which the media extols daily, but would readily throw away as soon as the economic lifeline(s) appear to be strained. The media are all America; America grows and swells upon establishment doctrines.

Obama may be vain. But so is the United States of America. Two of a kind. May the romance live long. Howeve ... !
