What Will Obama Do When There's No Hillary Firewall?

The Right has not paid much attention to Obama. That will quickly change if he gets the nomination.

As long as Hillary was seen as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Obama's Teflon coat remained relatively unmarred. That will change, and change fast, if Hillary can't right the ship and quickly get back in the hunt for the nomination.

Obama knows what's in store for him without the Hillary firewall. A month ago he loudly declared that he will not be swift-boated by the GOP. He will be. The fake Klan endorsement notwithstanding, he can still thank Hillary that he hasn't been already.

A Teflon coat is still a Teflon coat, no matter who it is up against. It was the same way with Reagan...it didn't matter the opponent, it was the person.
