    Think you've got ESP, Ana?

    What must be really galling to the Obamabots, however, is that he was recorded saying what he said and was blogged about...with attribution...on a much-read blog.

    "Obama supporters." I guess that's what you mean by "Obamabots," since you don't suggest there's any other sort of person in favor of his candidacy. You seem sure of what's going on inside the heads of such persons.

    Well, I can tell you, we aren't galled at all. We aren't bothered. And apparently, neither is the country at large. Only people already strongly opposed to Obama seem incensed by his remarks. And that seems to be an ever smaller portion of the Democratic party.

    Perhaps that's what's "galling" to you?
