16. I read the article.
I think that the criticism has a lot less to do with his race than his personality. Even his friends in the IL senate used to defend him from the charge of arrogance.

Aside from the LeBron quote, there are a myriad more:

"I have a gift, Harry".

"We are the ones we've been waiting for".

"This is the moment when the oceans began to recede and the planets began to heal...." Said after winning the nomination.

About a year ago retiring Representative Marion Berry (AR) warned Obama about a midterm bloodbath comparable to the 54 seats the Democrats lost in 1994. Supposedly Obama responded, "Well, the big difference here and in ’94 was you’ve got me." This Tuesday the Democrats suffered the biggest loss in the House since 1938.

Proverbs 16:18

Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.......
