All that work. 3 years, hundreds of thousands of miles. Building up the dem party all over the country for this election and two campaigns are threatening to destroy everything he's worked for.

How disheartening and frustrating this must be for him.

2. well, that's mostly true

but I do think Obama could be handling this better.

4. He could pretend it was all a conkydink

And then have the Clintons scoff at him for being a weak candidate.

It's the allantoin in onions and a number of other vegetables that kills H. pylori. I think aloe vera juice is another source.

5. He can only do so much.

He can retire to my spare room if he wants.

He's EARNED whatever I can give him.
