More from the Liberal Media

Don't fall for this. Please.

The Washington Post (among others) have been repeating the idea that Obama is arrogant, and they're doing it based on a quote taken out of context.

"This is the moment . . . that the world is waiting for," adding: "I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions."

This quote is getting a lot of play, even among the so-called "liberal" media.

But here's the quote in context:

"It has become increasingly clear in my travel, the campaign, that the crowds, the enthusiasm, 200,000 people in Berlin, is not about me at all. It's about America. I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions."

The first part, about the moment the world is waiting for, is from a completely different section of the speech. And so they cut out the whole part where he says "It's not about me, I'm [just] the symbol", append in a meaningless "excite the crowd" campaign phrase from earlier, and voila, instant arrogance.

Just the kind of honest, positive campaign we really need in this country.

Grumble.
