Obama, the man, the symbol

Obama said yesterday to House Democrat leaders:
Can it be very long before he works his way into an "I am" statement of some kind. I can envision a situation where he is asked about his message to America, to the world, and he says, "I am the message" or something akin to that. If he doesn't fit Tim LaHaye's model for a Carpathia type figure, it is hard for me to imagine that anyone else ever will. He is the most arrogant somebody who ever walked. If he's not the AC (and I reserve the right to hold to my preterist views here while allowing that Obama might be just that), then he's surely full of himself.
The more this guy is around and the more he says, the more he scares me.
"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."
