Big Backlash to Obama Delegate Letter
I guess Obama was trying to appease Hillary’s supporters when he wrote a letter to the DNC rules committee telling them to seat the Michigan and Florida delegates. When I heard about it, I was suspicious and wondering what the heck he was up to. Still, I was a bit shocked to read all the incredibly angry comments against Obama posted over at the ABC blog. Are more people waking up to see Obama for what he really is?

One can only hope that the fad known as BO will fade away and fizzle, that the kids will go back to their parents’ basement and pick up where they left off with GTA4, that Hillary will emerge as the obvious choice, the common sense will return. Keep hope alive. There is still time to turn around, isn’t there? The convention is 3 weeks away and BO is only the presumptive candidate. How can we dump him?

I am hearing “Obama Fatigue” on the TV now since the poll came out from PEW…Yes we (you/me) were right about the Obama fatigue…mine is still chronic by the way..
I do think it is normal for the nominee to ask that all delegates be seated at the convention. I remember Dean saying that the nominee would do this at the convention, they just didn’t think the race would be so close….I hope America/voters is/are waking up…here is a video I found this morning…”Inspiration” Obama’s Demons….

There are a lot of angry comments (and a lot of rationalizations) on the NYT Caucus website too, among others. Someone on the NYT blog said that the Obama campaign fast and furiously worked to replace Clinton Delegates from Florida with delegates who would support Obama. (This was before he asked all delegates to be seated.) Don’t know if it’s true, but it sure sounds like something his (controlling and manipulative) campaign would do.
Hey! Hillary is doing a live webchat today (Thursday Aug 7) at noon Eastern time on BlogHillary at her website.

I do think more folks are becoming disenchanted with Obama–whether because of Obama fatigue, evidence of unrestrained and unbecoming arrogance, the rightward shifts, or the flagrantly disingenuous b.s. such as his newfound willingness to seat the Fla. & Mich. delegations (having once shoved them under the bus to derail Hillary).
