How many times will the Democrats give in to this man?

In May, the Democratic Party came to a decision regarding the delegates from Florida and Michigan. They sat the delegations and gave each delegate a 1/2 vote at the convention. They also awarded delegates to Barack Hussein Obama who wasn't even on the ballot in these states. It seems that whatever The Anointed One wants, Howard Dean and the party elite will jump through hoops to get it for him.

But what happened and is happening is that many rank and file members of the party are angry. Very angry to be exact. They have given themselves a name PUMA (Party Unity My Ass). And they are dangerous to Obama's chance for the White House.

So instead of trying to court them in the preceding months, instead of addressing their issues, instead of allowing the party to fully seat the delegation when they met in June, Obama held his ground against them. Until today.

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.

The delegates were originally stripped because the two states violated party rules by holding primaries before Feb. 5. The delegates from each state were given half-votes at a contentious party meeting in May, as part of a compromise designed to give two important states some role at the convention.

Obama’s former Democratic rival, Hillary Rodham Clinton, had won both primaries, though Obama’s name was not on the Michigan ballot and neither candidate campaigned in Florida.

“I believe party unity calls for the delegates from Florida and Michigan to be able to participate fully alongside the delegates from the other states and territories,” Obama said in the letter.

The Illinois senator said he supported the party’s efforts to control the primary calendar.

“As we prepare to come together in Denver, however, we must be — and will be — united in our determination to change the course of our nation,” Obama said.

Obama’s endorsement virtually guarantees the delegates will have full voting rights. Clinton, who also has supporters on the credentials committee, had lobbied to reinstate the delegates.

He is scared that the PUMAs will cause a scene. What he doesn't understand is that he could have done this in May and kept his party together. His supports believe that he can do no wrong, and that what he wants he should get.

But he is getting scared. Although the Main Stream Media is backing him, he isn't ahead in the polls by 10-15 points. He is neck and neck with John McCain. He is afraid to debate John McCain knowing that unlike the debates before the primaries, this time he will be asked hard questions and have to actually answer them with ideas and not rhetoric.

He needs the PUMAs on his side. And I don't believe that this stunt on Obama's part will do it. For now the nation is seeing that Barack Hussein Obama is nothing more than an Empty Suit, Flip-Flopping politician with no new ideas and only the rhetoric of Change. And the country will reject him for that.
