you thought it couldn't get more awkward...

Sometimes I wonder what’s going on inside politicians’ heads when they make decisions, but thanks to the internet I usually can get something out of the staged interviews. One thing that hasn’t made any sense to me for a long time (since yesterday, really), is what the hell is Mr. Obama thinking? What’s he doing, letting Hillary speak at the Democratic National Convention tonight? I didn’t actually read the article that talks about it, but the point is made very clear in the headline (if the President can get away with only looking at headlines, so can I): Mr. Obama wants Hillary to address the Convention. He thinks that will ease the tension with her supporters who don’t want another penis in the oval office. Tomorrow during a role call to decide the Nomination, her supporters are also allowed to cast her name in for the vote. What? What? If Mr. Obama’s doing this to get Hillary’s army-- supporters, to turn to him… well, they might turn to him with the sort of rage in their eyes that only Hillary supporters are capable of having without burning a house down (if you thought I was going to say “burning cross”, you’re possibly racist). Regardless of why he’s being so chivalrous and letting Hillary receive pity votes, there’s no way this plan could backfire.
Right?
