Obama concedes KY, because Hillary is better known--KY is closer to Arkansas!
Advertisements [?]
Obama: "What it says is that I'm not very well known in that part of the country. Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it's not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle."

Get that map out, Barry! Look at the 57 (or is it 59?) states. You live in Illinois. KY borders on Illinois. Do you know where Arkansas is?

But what he says below is politically astute!


Obama: “I think whoever the Democratic is we’re going to have some work to do in a state like Kentucky."

Hillary can win handily. These are the typical voters who decide who becomes president.

Obama continues:

“And there are a lot of voters who get their news from Fox News. Fox has been pumping up rumors about my religious beliefs or my patriotism or what have you since the beginning of the campaign.”


Whoa! Hillary has been soundly trashed by Fox News since its inception, and she has thrived! "That which does not destroy me makes me stronger!" Nietzsche said that. Who has gotten the free pass by the non-Fox mainstream media that is soon to be swooning over Maverick McCain? Better strap your seat belt for the wild ride!

Before you crown yourself as Mission Accomplished without the voters of Florida and Michigan (and the correct delegate count if they were included), at least dedicate yourself to the long, hard fight ahead by "whoever"! Quitters never win.
