I think what has many people frustrated and exhausted is the fact that a few short weeks ago the Democratic party appeared to be on a tremendous tidal wave of national emotion, a kind of momentum that might have carried a progressive into the White House, slowed only by the bumps and rocks of a Republican opponent, but not enough to stem the tide.

Instead, however, the has-already-lost Democratic opponent has killed this momentum, ground the enthusiasm down to nothing, and stopped the tide before a Republican even takes the shot.

All of that will have to be rebuilt and it can never provide the same kind of narrative that it would have had Hillary stepped aside and let it take its course.

And now she is attempting not only to kill that narrative outright but to make sure that there is no chance that the peoples' voices will even matter.

Yes, Obama is in need of a reboot. It's because Hillary has clawed at the power switch and gnawed at the cables trying desperately to knock Obama, Democratic voters, and Independent voters offline and keep them that way until the Republicans can win.
