I don't get out much.

I agree with the premise of your post BTW

PBO one of the best presidents in my lifetime. Can't wait until he can campaign out in the open. He is good at that

* Most recently lost 5 out of 5 primaries!

Just last night criticized Obama justice pick, would tell Obama to table Merrick nomination and let Bernie pick a liberal nominee!

In New York, they call that chutzpah!

But now their presidential candidate embraces him. Did they learn something or was it all a cynical plan?
