Not much to discuss today, so I thought I'd take a moment to straighten something out:

Obama did not say "I am the one the world has been waiting for." It's a mangling of a similar phrase in his Super Tuesday speech. The real words are:

"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. We are the hope of those who have little; who've been told that they cannot have what they dream; that they cannot be what they imagine. Yes they can."

Just for the record.
