At a $1,000-a-head fundraiser at the Credit Suisse building in New York City today, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, took a brand new whack at Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, adding to his usual construct that he “decided to run not because of some long-held ambitions or because I thought it was somehow owed to me” the notion that “certainly I wasn’t presumptuous enough to think it was my turn.”

Obama also pooh-poohed the notion that Democratic divisiveness would hurt the part come November, saying the primary and caucus process “has gotten people engaged in politics who were never engaged before or who had forgotten what it’s like to be passionate about politics…“I am absolutely confident that by the time this thing is over, the Democratic party will be completely unified.”

He added, “for those of you who are just weary of the primary, and feeling kind of ground down or that it’s like a Bataan death mark, I just want everybody to know that the future is bright.”
