5. I love irony......

From "Obama: From Promise to Power" an upcoming book by David Mendell

(describing Barack entering the Fleet Center on his way to give the 2004 speech at the DNC)

After Obama and I slipped through a security checkpoint and he momentarily broke free from the entourage, I sidled up to him and told him that he seemed to be impressing many people of influence in this rarefied atmosphere.

Obama, his gaze fixed directly ahead, never broke his stride.

"I'm LeBron, baby," he replied, referring to LeBron James, the phenomenally talented teenager who at the time was shooting the lights out in the National Basketball Association. "I can play on this level. I got some game."


And tomorrow night, LeBron WONT be the headliner ......... like I said, I love irony.
