Obama checked with all the delegates behind the scenes to make sure they were still committed to him, before finally coming forward to appear magnanimous, by agreeing to allow a floor vote at the convention. Just another disingenuous P.R. move by Obama. If he had exhibited his commitment to democracy when it really counted, I'd be impressed ... like when he could have supported a revote in Florida and Michigan ... instead of blocking the effort. Obama is all about appearances. He will say, or do anything to win.

Ani,

Thanks for an insightful column that provides all the right reasons for Obama to rethink his strategy in August.

Your prophetic statement will become the “Haunting of the DNC Manor”:

“It is ironic that Sen. Obama’s personal flaws prevent him from doing the one thing in August that might give him even an outside chance in November”

Come November, the 18 million cracks on the DNC’s ceiling will shatter it exposing the only cure that will rid the Obamyopics of their dangerous affliction. They’ll have no option but to see the Light. Too late….

But maybe Hillary’s historic win (for that’s what it truly is!) will have gathered enough stormy seas to remove the vast winds of misogyny that now allow the media misogynist frat-boys to push a fraudulent candidate to an undemocratic ‘finish line’.

There is no point in getting upset about this anymore. We all know this was planned from the beginning. Hillary was the x factor. They didn't expect her to actually challenge him. PUMA is the x factor because they expected us to just vote for anybody they put in the slot. McCain is the x factor because he actually appeals to Democrats and Independents, not just Republicans. You know what we should just let the Democrats crash and burn. I don't care about this "party" anymore. They abandoned me in their aspirations of power, so f--k 'em. Maybe after multiple failures they will understand how to NOT lose an election, and how to be Democrats again (not fake a** Republicans). But if they want to continue to shoot themselves in the foot, let 'em. I’m getting tired of this. There is no point in getting upset about this anymore.

Barack Obama is a narcissist; he needs sexual conquest and adulation. I'd be willing to bet Michelle Obama is all too aware of Barack's weaknesses on that score; he's flirtatious, as well as patronizing to women he's trying to charm. In fact, he needs to be able to charm them. He's not a man who is sustained by the details of the work of public service; he's not a policy wonk. He's a dilettante; and he'll be bored with the burdens of office all too soon, and will need attention, adulation, adoring fans to feed his ego needs.
