Doh:

“I’m surprised at how finely calibrated every single word was measured. I wasn’t saying anything I hadn’t said before, that I didn’t say a year ago or when I was a United States senator,” said Obama, who is still a senator from Illinois.

Presumptuous, no?  But not surprising from a guy who had his own presidential seal made up for himself before he’s even accepted his party’s nomination as a candidate let alone won the election.

Discussion question: Wouldn’t it be a bit more proper for candidates like Obama, and McCain for that matter, to resign their seats in Congress so that their constituents are still served properly even as they campaign for higher office?
