This is because the Emperor Who Wears No Clothes thinks he has this election wrapped up. That has been evident from the Presidentialesque seal, the O Force One and everything else he has presented himself to be.

McCain runs an ad about how Obama failed the Clintons by not considering the Beast for VP. He then decides to announce the VP candidate on Friday. X42 cautiously encourages democrats not to vote for Osama. Mutliple rats consider voting GOP because of what happened between Osama and the Beast........................McCain picks the Beast as the GOP vice presidential candidate on Friday............Now I need to go throw up, my tinfoil beanie is too tight.

Well, well. Looks like the PUMA’s arrived in Denver in numbers!

The Clintons best chance at this point is to angle for a Mccain victory and then a Hillary in 2012 comeback.
I believe that it was Clinton that turned down Obama for this reason. They do not want Obama elected for that would ruin their opportunity in 2012. The Obama people had to know what Hillary would bring to them if selected as the V.P. candidate. The Clintons are purposely undermining the Obama campaign at the convention to help push him off the edge.

The Clintons are poison, and the democrats are about to learn this the hard way (those of them who haven't already). Whereas if Obama loses this election it will be easy for the Clintonistas to say ‘I told you so’, the ill-will they have engendered will only be amplified by his loss. It's inconceivable to me that the Obama backers will come ‘home’ with their tail between their legs saying ‘you were right’, ‘we support you’. More likely is that they will be so upset that they will never back a Clinton again, for anything.

When you live by the sword you die by the sword. The Clintons have always been about ‘divide and conquer’. Eventually all narcissism and otherwise self-centered behavior is seen for what it is. The number one criterion for a ‘leader’, in my book, is humility. There is always someone smarter, better, stronger. If one is driven by the desire to do good, irrespective of self or acquisition of credit, one can do great things. If driven by a sense of destiny one will always fall short.

Obama won and he needs Clinton supporters on board.

A common failing amongst those unaccustomed to leading.

His arrogance leads him to believe that since he won, Hillary should be bowing and scraping to him.

A leader realizes that since it is his responsibility to win, he must avail himself of all means.

Has Barack Obama blown it with Bill and Hillary Clinton?

Probably. and he'll most likely regret it, too. Even if he wins. And more so if he loses.

"18 million cracks"???

I thought she shattered the ceiling! That "just cracking it" statement will further tick off the crazy Hildebeast supporters....

Truth is, the Obama people feel, they [Hillary voters] lost - get over it!

Truth is, the Hillary voters already settled for the lesser of two evils when they took Bill over Hillary for 8 years. They're not willing to take Obama over Hillary as the lesser of two evils one more time.

Obama doesn't have a true sense of who he really is. He's a Pretend Person. He's not "The Pretender" but he's a fakir, a whirling dervish, a snake charmer. Somehow, he didn't bond with Lolo Soetoro and have a healthy "father-son" relationship. He's proved it by writing about the absent (sperm-donor) parent and not the adoptive father. Obama wanted to connect with something and he created this "make believe, bigger than life" absent father, totally ignoring Lolo. He wanted his birth father's approval and recognition. He even went so far as to change his name to Barack Hussein Muhammad Obama, Jr (II) to please his fantasy-father. And he also felt disconnected in Hawaii because he wasn't a "real" Negro-African-American. Instead of enjoying his multi-culturalism, he tried to invent himself as a "black American." He had no history with Black Americans and the Civil Rights Movement. Instead he created a relationship with Frank Marshall Davis who was a friend of his grandfather.

I think that relationship confused Obama more than it solidified his concept that he was "black and proud." I think this is demonstrated in this quote: Davis said Obama's grandfather would never understand people like him because they hadn't experienced the humiliations he had, according to Obama's memoir. As he left Davis's house that night, Obama wrote, he knew he was completely alone for the first time in his life.

Obama did not have a structured nurturing relationship with any adult. He wasn't "black and proud" but rather he was "alone in the world." He felt abandoned at age 17-18. He became an "orphan" emotionally. He thought his grandparents couldn't understand the "black" part and he didn't want to discover the "white" part. His mother had shamed that out of him. And his mother didn't help him understand that it wasn't her "whiteness" but rather her politics that caused her to reject the USofA.

Much to his loss, he needed to know that "white" did not translate to the America she disdained. Which leads me to the discussion of Obama and the Clintons. Obama's fragile ego against the Clinton's inflated egos. Not a pretty picture. Now some will say that Obama has a huge ego, but as I have watched and listened and read, I'm of the opinion that he is very fragile. He puts on a huge big bright show for the people, but inside, he's still the abandoned 17-18 year old boy. I think he was attracted to Michelle because of her take charge personality. She's the stronger of the two. And she's the angrier of the two. The Liberal friends and mentors have always been "angry" with something, America, Whitey, whatever. He is more ashamed than angry because half of him is White. He's perplexed emotionally. How does a half-white man ignore that part of who he is? Obama over compensates trying to act the part of "the black American." Which he's not and never will be. He's an Arab-American.

The fragile ego of Obama will be at the coliseum. The huge egos of the Clintons will be at the Convention Center. No comparison of Place.

And it doesn't much matter because as soon as Barry Soetoro shows us his real birth certificate from Indonesia and his Indonesian Passport, it's all one huge crap-shoot for the DNC to choose another Presidential candidate. Blacks will be angry at Obama for giving them "hope" and then taking it away from them because he wasn't honest about his citizenship.

And from now on, Presidential Nominees will get vetted. Yeeeeehaaaa.
