But the candidates were allowed to campaign in those states, they were not allowed to campaign in Florida, that is the big deal.

Obama DID NOT have to take himself off the ballot. He CHOSE to do so. And now he wants delegates he DID NOT earn. Pretty damn simple, if he kept his name on the ballot the Mich issue would have been a lot more simpler to solve.

He was simply doing as the DNC rules instructed. Here is a quote. ""This is an extension of the pledge we made, based on the rules that the DNC laid out," Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt said in a statement. "We still hope that Michigan Democrats can adopt a process that meets DNC rules and, if so, look forward to fighting for the votes of men and women across the state." So basically he and the other cadidates did as the DNC wanted and Hillary chose to ignore them. Why should he be punished for following the rules of the party and why should she be rewarded for not doing so?
