You may want to create an issue over Obama's ego, but I think that may reflect more on your desire to make this an issue about him. You're still quite young, so you've not spent much time around politicians. It takes a huge ego for someone to want that job--no matter what side of the aisle they're on. Look at Ross Perot. Look at George W. Bush. Ron Paul. John McCain. Barack Obama. They've all got it, and no one can make a case that one of them's bigger than another. You very much want to, clearly. But if you tested the egos of presidential egos, you'd see they're equally big. They pretty much have to be. You have to be ego-nuts to want that job, frankly.
If you want to look at McCain's political ego then let's look back during the 2000 elections when he got alot of favorable attention from the media, and let's look at him now and his campaign ad's that make him seem like a kid when mommy's not paying attention to them.

I'm aware of all politicians and their ego's. I would never argue against it. I think I probably made a poor choice by saying ego. I would describe Obama as Narcissistic with a huge ego. You have to admit the guy seems to really be full of himself. Granted I don't want a president who lacks confidence but I don't want someone else who thinks they are gods gift to us. Whether Obama means to present himself that way or not, he comes off that way to me. I thought so during the Democratic Primaries and I still think so now.
