I didn't think so. Narcissistic? Grandiose? Neither of those things, to my ear.

That's the hard part, about Obama. Considered as an individual -- as far as one can judge these things from seeing a guy on TV -- he seems to be thoughtful, likable, intelligent. And yet he's applied for, and obtained, a post whose job description is pretty much what CC said. Isn't it?
