White House defends Sanders against Clinton claim that Sanders has attacked POTUS. Oops.

[Oilwellian]

At a White House press conference, Press Secretary Josh Earnest defended Bernie Sanders against the Clinton campaign claim that Sanders had continuously attacked President Obama.

More lies confirmed for team Hillary. I guess these don’t count when she said she’d never lied to the American people just two days ago?? Hmmm.

1. $hillary memes

shooting fish in a barrel

[Fantastic Anarchist]

73. She's such a disgrace.

[tk2kewl]

2. Campaigning Clinton-style

[Oilwellian]

5. ROFL

That is hysterical!

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

36. Hahaha!

Very nice

[tk2kewl]

37. how many self-inflicted injuries does it take...

before she starts pushing ideas rather than smears or "no we can't?"

[sarge43]

42. A shame that boomerang can't be changed to a kitchen sink. n/t

[tk2kewl]

58. When we stand together there is nothing we cannot accomplish!

[sarge43]

59. Awesome and perfect. Thank you

[senz]

67. That is great!

You are very clever, tk2kewl.

[840high]

44. But she doesn't lie - evah

[mikehiggins]

62. Well, except maybe for Bosnian snipers EOM

[Plucketeer]

46. Owch!

Excellent!

[snagglepuss]

55. that's great thanks for the LOL

[Gorgatron]

74. Hahahaha yes!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. It's harder to lie now than in 2008.

The Internet will get you every time. I don't think the Clinton campaign has figured that out; they're just reprising 2008. And we saw how that went.

[FlatBaroque]

8. Establishment operatives are always fighting the previous battle./

[avaistheone1]

27. lol

[FlatBaroque]

33. .

[lumberjack_jeff]

13. I think that when you observe the same pattern of behavior for 30 years...

... you see it repeat itself.

Look! Over there! My opponent is criticizing the black guy!

[passiveporcupine]

50. Squirrel

Good response to a lot of what she says.

She is not only trying to attack him, but distract from the real issues she should be talking about.

[whatchamacallit]

4. Well well well...

Another one bites the dust.

[bigtree]

6. it's like attacking Hillary for 2008

...knowing full well that Pres. Obama appointed her to one of the most important positions in his administration and almost certainly supports her in this campaign.

Bernie supporters will just have to deal with the fact that their candidate has not been as supportive of this president as many Democrats would expect. And it's not just the one statement that Bernie claimed represented the totality of his criticism.

[kath]

14. Spin spin spin spin spin

[tk2kewl]

19. so now it's just "not ... as supportive of this president as many Democrats ... expect."

I thought it was that Bernie called Obama "weak and disappointing" and then conflate that with what Conrel West said?

[Uncle Joe]

7. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Oilwellian.

[beam me up scottie]

9. Thank you, Josh!

[jillan]

10. Another kitchen sink broken.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

53. LOL!

[kath]

11. OUCH!

That's gotta hurt.

Still more Clinton lies and distortions exposed. What a surprise.

[Cheese Sandwich]

12. Great find. Whoever posted this on youtube is a hero

[UglyGreed]

15. Well that did not

stick to the wall......

[sarge43]

41. Well, not on Sanders' wall anyway.

These ooops have to reach critical mass pretty soon.

[Donkees]

16. "Shame on you, Barack Obama!"

[yellerpup]

17. Great!

Is there a chance that dog will stop barking now?

[Duval]

22. We can only hope!

[frylock]

34. Nope.

[AzDar]

18. Awesome!

[bbgrunt]

20. k and r!

[leftofcool]

21. Except on the Tom Hartman Show. Tapes don't lie.

[ejbr]

24. Does every progressive

support the TPP, drone strikes in Pakistan, the excessive deportation of undocumented individuals? If not, should we be quiet about it?

He's a president, not a God. Get a grip.

[Duval]

26. Please provide a link from Thom Hartmann's show to support your claim.

[shawn703]

28. Had Obama had a primary challenge

And needed to tack left to secure his renomination - a course correction if you will - we probably wouldn't have TPP just over the horizon. We would still have a President Obama, just no TPP. You can be supportive of the President and still want him to be reminded of the policies the Democratic Party cares about if he lost his way.

[thesquanderer]

30. Both candidates have had their differences with Obama

as posted elsewhere by noiretextatique

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/12/world/middleeast/attacking-obama-policy-hillary-clinton-exposes-different-worldviews.html?_r=0

For the 19 months since Hillary Rodham Clinton departed as President Obama’s secretary of state, she and Mr. Obama, and their staffs, have labored to preserve a veneer of unity over how they worked together and how they view the world.

On Sunday, the veneer shattered — the victim of Mrs. Clinton’s remarkably blunt interview with Jeffrey Goldberg, a writer for The Atlantic, in which she criticized not just Mr. Obama’s refusal to aid the rebels in Syria, but his shorthand description of his entire foreign policy.

Great nations need organizing principles, and ‘Don’t do stupid stuff’ is not an organizing principle,” Mrs. Clinton said, referring to the line that Mr. Obama has used with aides and reporters to describe his reluctance to inject the United States into messy foreign conflicts.

Just another glass house attack by Hillary.

[Logical]

39. Almost everything you post is incorrect, notice that? nt

[rhett o rick]

65. LOL. Do you expect us to believe you've ever listen to Hartman? He is progressive

and everything you hate.

[Duval]

23. K&R. nt

[INdemo]

25. So there you go Bill.and you need to stay on the porch now with that dog that dont hunt anymore

[amborin]

29. K&R

[frylock]

31. I get the impression that Obama is really enjoying watching her squirm.

I can envision he and Biden laughing it up while watching Billy degrade himself up there on stage with that list of mean stuff that Bernie bros said about poor Hillary.

[JimDandy]

49. They are too classy to do anything of the sort.

I don't believe that level of personal animus is held
by these top 5 Dem politicians. Their teams are in it to win it, though, and it is clear that Clinton's campaign operatives are doing some less than savory things.

And on a personal note, would you kindly stop with the Bernie Bros?

[Arazi]

32. Kicked and Recced eom

[azmom]

35. Kick

[CharlotteVale]

38. OOPS!

[Ferd Berfel]

40. Oopsie indeed - scratch another Rovian attack on Bernie

Good on YOU Mr. President.

[Faux pas]

43. Kickin'

[Donkees]

45. Bernie's Kitchen Sink Joke:

[JimDandy]

51. He has a quick wit!

"It's invisible." Ha!

[SoapBox]

47. I love that picture!

Camp Weathervane and her Super PAC, Corrupt the Record...will simply continue to LIE.

Cheap shots and dirty politics..just their operating system.

Go Bernie!

[Odin2005]

48. Welp, looks like the Hillarians need new orders!

[MrMickeysMom]

60. I honestly think loyalty to "it's her turn" trumps real qualities for this job...

Maybe Obama cringes when recognizing that, and actually DID enjoy that public announcement.

Jeebus H ...

[CoffeeCat]

52. Obama knows what it's like to be on the receiving end of HRC's lie-based campaign

and I imagine they have empathy for Bernie, who has to deal with her. Especially when she's in meltdown-implosion mode.

Axelrod has said negative things too.

I think every once in a while the mask slips off. I think this whole Obama-Hillary love fest is a HRC-campaign created facade designed to serve Hillary.

[BeanMusical]

61. +1

[senz]

68. + 100

Every time they have appeared together, the air seemed to crackle with tension and forced smiles. Not friends at all. I'll bet Obama is a thousand times more natural in Bernie's presence.

[CoffeeCat]

70. Which makes me wonder about Obama meeting with Bernie

I mean, that meeting has got to be one of the greatest political mysteries of our lifetime, don't you think?

Sanders hopped off the campaign trail to meet with Obama at the White House.

The possibilities are endless...

[senz]

71. I sensed it was friendly

and would be very surprised if they didn't discuss the campaign, but we don't know where they went with it. Hope we'll find out someday, maybe in someone's memoir.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

54. That should be an ad!

in SC

[Kittycat]

56. K&R great pic, too

[Fairgo]

57. Because informed dissent and respectful challenge

Are features of a healthy democracy.

[Autumn]

63. Oh my.

Rec

[Hiraeth]

64. Strong.Stuff.There. K&R

[Impedimentus]

66. Doesn't prove that Sen. Sanders wasn't thinking that he doesn't support Pres. Obama

Expect the Clinton Campaign to unleash the thought police next.

[senz]

69. Clinton wants to create rifts between Bernie & Obama and Bernie & people of color.

A dirty game played by dirty people.

[ultragreen]

72. Oh, oh....

Bill and Hillary must be cursing Obama under their breath again. You know how vindictive they can be.
