I do think Obama has occasionally has shown little bouts of arrogance, however from what I understand pretty much everyone who's come in contact with him sees him as an unfailingly polite person, so I don't think that's a problem.

Regarding the Hillary MLK/Johnson quote, I'm sure everyone's had their say on it. It wasn't racist, but it was terribly condescending. Obviously MLK could never have become President, but even if he had does Hillary really not think he would have worked with every ounce he had for civil rights reform. Her comment had an air of 'Hey, we've got the power, if anyone's going to be changing things around here, it'll be us, if we feel like it.' It was very off-putting, and deserved to get the attention it did.

Yeah, because polls since SC have really shown him becoming marginalized. Is this guy even following the coverage?

What makes Obama's speeches 'aimless' that makes JFK's speeches not? If he's looking for wonkish policy detail in a stump speech, he might be disappointed.

Plus, it's funny he's so snarky about calls for 'change'. I seem to recall that Bill Clinton mentioned 'change' about every 2 minutes in his 1992 campaign speeches. Was this guy criticizing him for that?
