Barack says, "I pulled out of MI and don't want a re-vote."

Over the weekend, I got to thinking about Barack's actions with regard to Michigan and Florida. I was asking myself, "why would a candidate pull his name off of a ballot if he is running for president of all 50 states?" Furthermore, Barack did not campaign in Florida. Why would he not do as much campaigning as possible? Playing devil's advocate, I acknowledge that FL and MI held their primaries earlier than originally scheduled and have been penalized for doing so. Even so, wouldn't Barack still want his name on the ballot in all 50 states? Wouldn't he also want to campaign in Florida and share his views with citizens of that state?

Barack's pulling of his name from MI ballots and not campaigning in FL is somewhat reminiscent of Ross Perot's pulling out of the race and then coming back into the race again. I admit that Barack's actions aren't equal to Perot's actions. However, I cannot help but think of Perot when I think about Barack's actions. His actions are quite baffling. He allegedly wants to be president of all 50 states, but took his name off the ballot in Michigan and did perform his due diligence in Florida.

From my perspective, the only reason to remove your name from a ballot is if you are conceding that someone else has already won. Does Barack really want to be president of all 50 states? Did he consider himself as having lost if the delegates in FL and MI had not been stripped of their votes? This certainly doesn't seem like normal behavior for someone who wants to be president of all 50 states. Hillary has not removed her name from any ballots. Nor has Hillary not done her due diligence in the contiguous states. Barack didn't even campaign in his home state of Hawaii. He sent is sister, Maya, to campaign there in June 2007 on his behalf. What a crock! That would be like Hillary not campaigning in Arkansas.

Here's the question that we must all ask Barack: Do you really want to be president of all 50 states in the U.S.?
