Barack Obama blinks in Hillary face-off

Now the Dem Convention is now the Clinton's convention. Obama backed down to the Clinton machine and showed once again if he can't take political pressure from the Clinton's how the hell is he going to take pressure from the likes of Iran, Russia, and terrorists?

Russia rolls over Georgia, Hillary Clinton does the same to Barack Obama. Now we know who's boss.

Obama blinked and stands guilty of appeasing Clinton by agreeing to a roll call vote for her nomination. That he might not have had much choice if he wanted peace only proves the point that he's playing defense at his own convention.

What does he get out of it? Not much and not for long.

The fleeting sense that he is a magnanimous nominee won't get him a single vote he wouldn't get anyway. Ditto for the idea that he's going the extra mile to unify the party. Those who refuse to accept him as the legitimate winner aren't likely to do so just because he caves into her demands.

It makes him look weak and ratifies Clinton's sense of entitlement to share party leadership and the convention spotlight.

Just wait until they start this process, and the booing and cheering begin... it's got the makings for a very interesting situation... maybe even volatile.

I'll be laughing my ass off.
