Mr. Obama was smitten with his own specialness.

Turns out, the only thing special about him is his 'blackness'.

No, no, no...don't forget his uncanny ability to turn the "negro dialect" on and off, at will...oh, and he's clean too.

Also his voice. Apparently, it has held people spellbound since he was in college. There was some incident where merely his voice soothed down some difficult assembly; he said nothing new but using his voice made an appeal for calm or reason.

And I'm referring to the voice he uses for white folks, not his fake nigra voice which really grates on my nerves; sometime I expect the media will stop covering for him for this matter, also.
