I think this story makes Barack look like a million bucks.

From how I read it, the story is about a September event that amounts to a short interview where press gathered outside a completely-legit fundraiser. The story sums it up, “Obama seemed unaware the pledge he signed prohibits news conferences.”

Whoops.

Obama’s statement supporting Florida’s Dems at the time is in the context of the Florida Dems still challenging the DNC’s crappy decision and it wasn’t for three months before courts ruled in the DNC’s favor.

I believe every fair-minded person would want Michigan’s and Florida’s Primaries to have been full contests and “do right” by Michigan’s and Florida’s voters.

Only a completely dishonest person would try to equate that with retroactively awarding delegates for Michigan’s uncontested primary.

On Sept 30th when Obama was violating the pledge by talking to reporters in FL he vowed to “Do what’s right’ by Florida voters.
