    Actually, Obama IS beholden

    to Washington insiders. That is how he won the primary. The super delegates are the epitome of the Washington elite corps.

    What IS rather fun to watch is that many of them backed Hillary.

    I always saw that those backing Obama were the B team crowd, not the A team.
