A spokesman for Obama said Thursday that Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick would be a distraction if he goes to the convention as a superdelegate.

But Obama spokesman Brent Colburn said in an e-mail that the focus of the convention should be on Obama and not on what Colburn called "the troubles of one individual."

1. It's time Kilpatrick focus on his personal problems

JMO it may help if he also stepped down.

2. Kwame, man...what a disappointment

I really liked him when I met him in 2000. It's sad to see what he's doing now.

3. Don't worry! He is on a tether and does not have permission to leave the city.
