THE UNCONTROLLED EGO – AT 8:54 A.M. ET:  The president of the United States appears to be politically delusional.  From the Weekly Standard: 

President Obama discussed the election and how "all" the Democrats running away from him "have supported my agenda" in an interview with Al Sharpton earlier today:

"Well, look, here's the bottom line," said Obama, "We've got a tough map. A lot of the states that are contested this time are states that I didn't win. And so some of the candidates there, you know, it is difficult for them to have me in the state because the Republicans will use that to try to fan Republican turn-out. The bottom line is, though, these are all folks who vote with me. They have supported my agenda in Congress. They are on the right side of minimum wage. They are on the right side of fair pay. They are on the right side of rebuilding our infrastructure. They're on the right side of early childhood education.

"So, this isn't about my feelings being hurt. These are folks who are strong allies and supporters of me. And I tell them, I said, you know what, you do what you need to win. I will be responsible for making sure that our voters turn up."

COMMENT:  For the president just to be seen with Sharpton is an embarrassment.  And his cynical statement, suggesting that some Democratic candidates are lying about their true beliefs just to get elected – which is true – won't help those candidates.  In the end, it's always about Barack.
