Obama isn’t running this thing. Others are.
Exactly! When Obama made the comment that these people who were chosen to help vet his running mate picks weren't "working for him". The question the media should have immediately asked was "Who is running your campaign if you're not?".
When George W. Bush was elected in 2000 the liberals and the media megaphones kept pushing the notion that there was a "shadow government" running things since George Bush wasn't experienced enough, or smart enough, or didn't have the gravitas to run the country. Now that Obama, who has no experience running anything, is their chosen candidate, they couldn't care less who is pulling the strings of the Marxist marionette.
