...this is what it would have looked like.*

In reality, Babs helped Obama bank $11 million last night. While addressing the Hollywood crowd, Obama blamed his campaign's difficulties on ... the American people.

"A lot of people have gotten nervous and concerned. Why is this as close as it is? And what's going on?" Mr. Obama said, speaking to about 300 people over dinner at the Greystone Mansion. "We always knew this was going to be hard - this is a leap for the American people."

Hmmm, why does Obama think that voting for him "is a leap from the American people"? Is he not-too-subtly pinning his problems on his racist countrymen? Or is he referring to legitimate anxieties Americans might have about their president meeting with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad without preconditions?
