Too Cool For School

In case you haven't been following, Andrew Sullivan has been knocking Obama around a bit the last few days for being unusually cocky in some of his latest campaign decisions. Now I completely agree with the underlying critique that Obama is essentially a cocky bastard (to the extent that all Presidential candidates are cocky bastards, and probably even a little beyond that) and I agree with some of the specifics Sullivan cites (for instance, the faux-Presidential seal), but how is letting your kids be interviewed an example of this? (In contrast, while I think the stadium thing is a good move, I can at least understand how that would be interpreted as hubris.) Is it that he's TOO proud of his kids? He's obscenely eager to show off their perfectness because it's a reflection of his own perfectness?
