Democrat Elizabeth Smith’s Short Term Memory Problem

Elizabeth Smith, member of the Democratic Party Rules and Bylaws Committee, just asked David Bonior a whiz-bang question: Why ever did Barack Obama choose not to put his name on the Michigan presidential primary ballot? Why would Obama decide to do that?

(Psst. Elizabeth Smith just so happens to be a supporter of the Hillary Clinton for President campaign.)

Here’s an answer for you, Ms. Smith: the Democratic Party Rules and Bylaws Committee told Barack Obama not to put his name on the ballot. The committee, of which Elizabeth Smith is a member, decided months ago that the Michigan primary would not count at the convention – that the delegates would not be seated.

Why is Elizabeth Smith puzzled that Barack Obama did exactly what her own committee in the Democratic Party told him to do?

Golly me, but why can’t Elizabeth Smith remember what she took part in just a few months ago?
