Obama is the Democratic nominee, because nobody wants to run against him, not because he’s a favoured candidate. Considering how many Dem politicians have chosen to retire, rather than take a chance at re-election, I’d say there may be behind the scenes work at trying to get Obama to take a hike.
NO person of any flavored liberal persuasion would take the risk of ousting a BLACK, the first BLACK, President denying him the second term...it just is not in their nature. And, they would be forever hated by blacks.
