As Obama swims in seas too deep for his shallow skills, one has to wonder how many millions of Obama fans feel had. And not even by Obama--who was too dim to realize he was not ready for the job and was being spoon fed unearned opportunity, something that he's ridden his whole life--but...

According to Politico-- via “Game Change,” a long-awaited account of the 2008 campaign written by journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann—Chuck Schumer is manifestly a back-stabbing sexist rat—a guy NOT to be trusted and a scheming sexist.

--Ted Kennedy doesn't see a spot for Clinton on Obama's ticket.
Ted Kennedy, the aging liberal lion of the Democratic Party, took a nasty bite out of Hillary Clinton Friday, saying she shouldn't be vice president because the job requires "real leadership."
"I don't think it's possible," Kennedy, a Barack Obama supporter, told Bloomberg Television when asked about an Obama-Clinton ticket.
Kennedy added that he hoped Obama would choose a running mate who is "in tune with his appeal for the nobler aspirations of the American people.
