This is a short diary, but one I hope you will enjoy, especially early on Barack's 47th birthday.

Let me start by saying that I am someone who is a Obama supporter, volunteer, and modest donor, and also as someone who thinks Hillary should be the VP nominee.  In the last several days, I have started to realize that there is a lot of parallel between the path that led to Obama virtually securing the nomination the path that may now be  leading to Hillary as the VP nominee, forced against his will.

If Barack did not want Hillary as VP, then I think he has made a lot of the same mistakes that she made to cost her the nomination.  In my opinion, he has made a lot of decisions that worked fine for winning the nomination but also have resulted in her supporters getting riled up against him.  To me, many of these decisions parallel some of the decisions that she made that have cost her so dearly.

Some examples:
