Laer Pearce at Cheat Seeking Missiles is examining Barack Obama’s decision to have a big rally in Berlin and finds it just a wee bit . . . well, um, self absorbed?

Barack Obama’s planned Berlin speech is the result of egomaniacal overreach by the candidate and his staff. Obama, the new Kennedy. Obama, the new Reagan. Obama, the new Narcissus.
