#1 OH yeah. How DARE he exclude the kingmakers from his imperial audience. We're not talking about the hoi polloi here. This is the media he's snubbing now! /sarcasm

I don't know if I'm going to laugh or cry if Sen. Clinton steals the nomination from him. But he sure deserves to have it stolen.

#3 CNN did a smackdown on this last night as well.

Seems they don't take well to being used.

#4 From this, approved for release clip, I'd say the junket has been highly choreographed, to include the hoops session. Probably months in the making. He is simply checking the box. He's visited a Forward Operations Base (FOB) somewhere. I do not recognize the gymnasium. But I DO recognize the 'rear area' .....US Army Public Affairs approved inclusive, multi-cult, made for TV audience which lacks anyone wearing Individual Body Armor (IBA) or carrying a weapon. Also lacks the presense of veterans, US civilians, ie, contractors, of which there are tens of thousands. The absense of warfighters and men at arms is quite obvious. Sickening actually, but like Senator McCain said, "it is what it is."

#6 If Obama has lost Andrea Mitchel, he's lost the election.

Gee, upset he does on to them that they do upon others. How dare he! They made him! How dare he turn on his creators!

It's a bitch when you discover you've sold your soul like that.
