Clinton and Obama weigh in on the Florida delegate debacle

Hillary Clinton (who'd like a re-do or for Florida's January primary results to count) says of the state party's decision to scrap a vote-by-mail primary:

"Today's announcement brings us no closer to counting the votes of the nearly 1.7 million people who voted in January. We hope the Obama campaign shares our belief that Florida's voters must be counted and cannot be disenfranchised."

Barack Obama, who opposes seating Florida's delegation based on the January results, said: "We hope that all parties can agree on a fair seating of the Florida delegates so that Florida can participate in the Democratic Convention, and we look forward to working with the Florida Democratic Party and competing vigorously in the state so that Barack Obama can put Florida back into the Democratic column in November."

[He's no better]

Why is it that Senator Obama only cares about Obama, and not the voters of Florida?
He has never once said he wants to honor the voters, or that we should not be disenfranchised. He has reduced the Florida vote to a cold political calculation, and how it helps him get to the win.
Sounds like politics as usual, and not the "Uniter, or Change agent' he claims to be!

Democrats... vote NPA join the fastest growing party in Florida..the no party affiliated party.Then vote for who you want.

Obama's "change we can believe in" new government math is an out-take of the deceptive Republican Karl Rove - "do what I say, not what I do".

Obama believes and has stated so publicly the delegates should be divided evenly - the jerk! No different than being so stupid to settle this lame argument of Obama's in the back alley. He no more deserves an even split of delegates as he was beaten BADLY by a landslide of a percentage of votes cast.

Obama is not very smart either (lack of experience shows here), for removing his name from the ballot in Michigan and nobody likes an adolescent whiner, for he would have NO legitimate claim about being beaten badly in both states.

I am sick up to eyebrows with the bias love fest for Obama who is NOT what this country deserves - and I am a life long Democrat who pays attention to the issues in which Obama is very scary short on.
