Obama Struggles With Hired Help

Sen. Barack Obama may all but have the Democratic nomination locked up, but his inexperience shows with campaign missteps blamed on the hired help. From Jake Tapper's blog.
We started covering Sen. Barack Obama's inability to hire good staffers in June 2007, when he blamed staffers for some opposition research trying to link Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, to outsourcing in India; for injecting some venom in the David Geffen/Hillary Clinton fight; and for missing an event with firefighters in New Hampshire.
In December, we noted again that Obama was blaming the answers on a 1996 questionnaire on a staffer; and was blaming his touring with "cured" ex-gay gospel singer Donnie McClurkin (which antagonized gays and lesbians) on bad vetting by his staff.

Please, why can’t you news writers get it straight. Don’t split the infinitive.
The last part of that sentence should read,” I once again express my regret that Sen. Obama apparently does not feel the same way.”
