WASHINGTON (AP) -- Now that Barack Obama has clinched the Democratic nomination for president, he wants convention delegates from Florida and Michigan to have full voting rights at the party's national convention.
Obama sent a letter Sunday to the party's credentials committee, asking members to reinstate the delegates' voting rights when the committee meets at the start of the convention in Denver.

To the Rats, election laws are more like election suggestions.
At this stage, after the decision has been made and dust settled... why would BHO suddenly become concerned about convention delegate counts?

Perhaps the hildebeast is planning a convention surprise?
The disingenuous nature of this will likely anger Hillary! supporters even more. Good.

Once more, B. Hussein wants to be on both sides of an issue.
“Both Sides Now” should be his campoaign song.
That is what I am thinking. I hope this pisses of the Hillary supporters even more.
This would be like George Bush giving Al Gore 100 more votes in Florida 2000.
Wow...He’s got my vote....for dog catcher.

What is going on?
Could be he’s concerned about Florida’s demos being angry enough about their primary vote not counting that they won’t vote for him. Now he can be magnanimous enough to let them have their empty votes.
They were duplicates...
