He should step aside for the one candidate who would become, by acclamation, the nominee of the Democratic Party: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Hillary ain't looking too good these days. She's aging fast and is in no shape for another presidential campaign. The Rats are engaged in some serious wishful thinking.

Obie does seem to be completely out of touch, but then it is pretty hard to find a democrat with any real sense of reality.

Obama should just leave and be reunited with his "body man" Reggie Love. Then declare his homosexuality, get "married" to Reggie, and live out his perverted life.

I am 99% certain that Reggie Love was tossed out of The Community Organizer's life because he was either caught red-handed by Moochelle and her fat mother, or the Obama campaign knew something very dirty and scandalous was going to come out about them.
