Delusional sense of entitlement

Remember a couple months ago when Hillary Clinton was making a big deal about which of the two Democratic candidates was better prepared to handle that 3 a.m. phone call at the White House?

Then tonight, everyone else in the world starts referring to Barack Obama as the party's presumptive nominee. Everyone else, that is, except for Hillary.

"I will be making no decisions tonight," she told her supporters at a post-results campaign rally.

Good lord. She wanted to be president and handle 3 a.m. phone calls, and that's how she handles losing? You kidding me?

Speaking of a woman with a delusional sense of entitlement, get this.

I ran out for a quick drive to the grocery store and back. I purposely went quickly so I might not lose my parking space directly across the street from my place.

As I turned onto my street with my just-purchased load of groceries, I saw that the car behind me was also turning onto my street. It's a one-block, one-way street nobody would have any business driving on unless they lived here and were parking. And yeah, the space I was in was still there. And nothing else was.

So I took the space.

And then after I was fully parked, the nervous and fidgety driver emerged from the other car. Stammering, she told me she lives in the building alongside the parking space I had just reclaimed. And that she didn't have another space anywhere to park.

The hell do I care?

I'm already parked, and I have groceries to unload directly across the street.

The hell do you want from me?

I'm sorry you don't have anywhere to park, but I'll tell you what. It was either gonna be you or me, and I would really prefer it not being me.

So she just walked away, muttering some complaint that I really couldn't decipher. "I'm just gonna have to open my other door then..." whatever the hell that means.

Get away. Quit your complaining. You got beat fair and square.

Now just admit it, Hillary. Tell Barack he's won.

Don't go down with your ship and bring down half of your political party with you.

Oh, and by the way, your phone's ringing. It's Obama, and he's ready to accept your concession, your respect and your public endorsement.

Get with the program.
