I'll also agree that any Presidential candidate is going to have an elevated opinion of himself. It's absolutely a job requirement. If you're going to take the type of criticism you take as President, and if you're going to make major decisions that affect the lives of people all over the country (and all over the world), you have to have that elevated opinion of yourself. If not, you'd be constantly waffling on every potential decision.

Exactly. You have to possess an extreme amount of confidence to even think that you can run a country such as ours and then to actually go through with running for president takes even more. Whether a person lets their confidence show or takes a more modest approach is another story entirely.
