It's true that Alice Palmer no longer has a seat. But she tried to run for a higher office and Obama jumped into the vacancy and wouldn't give it up when she wanted to come back. It didn't honor her service. It did serve his interest. But he was under no obligation to be kind. He did what an ambitious man would do and refused to step aside.
His opponents? Didn't have the brains to get up a challenge and he challenged every one of them right off the ballot. Every single one of them. Shrewdly impressive. But not what a sweetheart does.
Those things were COMPLETELY LEGAL.

My big problem with the house deal, which is, so far, also legal? It was STUPID. It brought up questions they could have avoided. I expected MICHELE to be smarter than that. Why on earth, with their ambitions, couldn't she go for a cheaper house?
