He needs to be very careful with this. Any hint of arrogance will be jumped on and could blow up in his face.
I am sure some people not supporting Obama are hoping this all blows up in his face but Obama has not been portrayed as arrogant at all since Tuesday night. Obama has been very respectful to Hillary by not assuming he has the nomination yet even though it looks very good for him. He has received many praises by political analyst who have all agreed, and that is not often, he is handling all his interviews extremely well and appears confident, not arrogant. Here is Wolf's summary on the interview.
WASHINGTON (CNN) – Having interviewed Senator Barack Obama on several occasions in recent years, I must say he seemed very relaxed and at ease when we spoke in The Situation Room today. On earlier occasions, he often seemed more wound up and intense. That was certainly true during the four Democratic presidential debates that I moderated over the past year. On this day, however, he seemed very comfortable and very confident. And with good reason.
I showed him the new issue of Time magazine, which features him on the cover, along with the words: “And the winner is…” Asked for his reaction, he said: “I don’t want to be jinxed. We’ve still got some work to do.” It reminded me of superstitious athletes who fear having their picture on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Obama could not have been more effusive in his praise of Hillary Clinton. He kept calling her an “extraordinary” candidate. In response to a video question from a CNN I-Reporter, he said Senator Clinton would certainly be “on anybody’s short list” as a vice presidential running mate. “But it would be presumptuous of me at this point when she is still actively running, when she is highly favored to win two of the next three contests, for me to somehow suggest that she should be a running mate,” he said. “At this point, I think we have to resolve this process and then we can figure it out.”
While he had nice things to say about Hillary Clinton, he didn’t hold back in criticizing his other opponent, John McCain, on a host of domestic economic and national security issues. He seemed ready to move on to the next chapter of his campaign.

Unless you speak several English dialects and or several foreign languages you wouldnt be qualified to opine on that. I for a fact speak several Spanish dialects (different accents and somewhat different vocabulary) and know people from , say, Jamaica, who speak like any "typical" american but can do jamaican style at seconds notice, so i think you should ferme la bouche questa volta.
Doesn't matter. She doesn't normally carry around that accent, yet all of a sudden she does when at a rally in Arkansas? Fake. Phoney.
Actually, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt on this one. I think most people who have lived in the south for awhile find it easy to slip into a southern accent, especially when talking with people who have strong accents. It's contagious.
I'm originally from the midwest (Cleveland) and my accent is midwestern. But I spent many years in Texas and a few in Arkansas and Virginia. I now live in Georgia. As a result I picked up a variety of accents that come and go (and I don't usually notice it.)
I lived in California, Chicago, and Denver, too. California added some surfer phrases to my speech. And after 3 years in Colorado I now say "warsh." As in "I'm going to warsh the dishes."
based on this video clip, he sure was treated like the nominee. Reporters were asking him about making Hillary his running mate

Although I am VERY PRO OBAMA, I have to reply to this.
Whether good or bad, have we not learned yet to NEVER to believe what the media reports?
I have!
Please, as an African-American woman, I don't believe that our future President has been treated as the new President, because the there were no KKK protesters or PRO-Hillary protesters in view.

true. But you know there have been threats on Obama's life from KKK members as early as last spring. Thats why he sought secret service protection about a year ago.

There were some KKK-like supporters here back when we did our now worthless vote and they were supporting Obama because "can't no woman run the country" go figure
