The news of Obama’s rock star visit to the House floor today, chatting up superdelegates, is bouncing around the blogosphere — but usually while overlooking this tidbit:
Clinton spent Wednesday in D.C. trying to lobby uncommitted House superdelegates, but she asked them to come to her… Obama showed up on their turf…
Even when reduced to begging, there’s still that same overbearing sense of entitlement that has crippled the Clinton campaign from day one.
Tuesday night in Indiana, Clinton insistently celebrated a narrow, short-term, meaningless victory, declaring it meant she was now “full speed” onward to her goal — precisely as everyone else was finally starting to see she can’t possibly win.
An overweening sense of personal entitlement… a prideful insistence on success in defiance of obvious facts… say, who does that remind us of?

And if that image offends her remaining dead-enders, let’s review: in the wake of 9-11, it wasn’t just George W. Bush telling the world “every nation has to be either with us or against us.” It was Hillary, as you can hear for yourself.
In October 2002, during the debate about giving Bush authorization to invade Iraq, it wasn’t just Dick Cheney telling the world in that Saddam Hussein had links to Al-Qaeda. It was Hillary, as you can read for yourself.
And in February 2005, it wasn’t just John McCain claiming that democracy was taking root in Iraq, and that the insurgency was in its last throes. It was Hillary, standing physically shoulder-to-shoulder with John McCain, as you can see for yourself.
Enough.
