It doesn't matter whether Obama is reluctant or if Hillary wants to seat them as is. It's not up to them, because everyone has to agree DNC, candidates and the other 48 states have to agree that any re-vote is done fairly.
There hasn't been a federal judge that has ruled how it is possible in Michigan to do a re-vote, and claim the election was a fair one. No one is saying it was a fair election. Hillary argues that we're disenfranchising two key states. Not on what their legislations did to put them in that position.
I'm really fed up reading this crap about Hillary wants them seated and Obama is blocking them from being seated.
it's a distortion on both accounts. They both want delegations to be seated at the DNC - they differ on how that can be accomplished fairly.
