17. Yeah, they read that as a riff on President Obama's success.

You give the keynote speech on year one. Four years later, POOF! You're in the White House. Well, that's not a rock-solid guaranteed formula for success. It happened to happen to Barack Obama. But as so many radio promoters have said to me - that was a unique situation of "lightening in a bottle." JUST BECAUSE you get picked to give the convention keynote speech does NOT mean you're guaranteed the Oval Office. You just become a member of the "POSSIBLY most likely to succeed" club. They forgot about that. Just because Obama did it - and did make that jump, the bad guys assume that's simply the way to go.

But that feeds into their republi-CON sense of entitlement. I call it the World's Biggest Entitlement Program - that they feel they're ENTITLED to rule, ENTITLED to occupy the White House. Look at her ladyship ann of dressage if you have any doubts. She felt ENTITLED to be given the keys to the White House. It was simply their turn, and don't "you people" understand that?????
