I’m trying to figure out why Senator Obama doesn’t just tell the Clintons to go suck on an egg. Or something. Why does he cave to their unreasonable demands?
I don’t get it but I have a theory anyway.
My theory is, Senator Obama has been overcome by the miasma of party indoctrination. He has uncritically accepted the party line that the Clintons are the one-all and be-all of the entire Democratic Party. He seems to have forgotten about those of us who actually voted for him in our primary. Does Senator Obama sincerely believe we want to see anymore of the Clintons? We made our choice. It was YOU Senator Obama.
So why do you cede YOUR ground to the losers? Were you convinced the high road is paved with gracious deeds? Yes, the winner should be courteous toward the loser, nobody likes an arrogant winner. You offered an olive branch and the Clintons took the tree. Shame on them. And shame on you for letting them get away with it.
I hope your trip to Hawaii will help you clear your brain and set your thoughts on the winning track. It isn’t too late too change the convention schedule.
Two nights of the Clintons in prime time is too much.
