Obama must feel like Jackie Robinson did as the first African-American
in the otherwise all-white Major Baseball Leagues when he joined them
in 1947.

As Robinson said, he not only had to be the best baseball player of all
time, he also had to be a saint and a role model every minute. And he
was still criticized and harassed just the same.
