Is Hillary getting thrown under the bus by Obama?

[Fast Walker 52]

Biden put out very pro-Bernie remarks a couple days ago on income inequality.

Obama made Bernie-like references to income inequality in the SOTU last night.

Axelrod comes out and denounces Chelsea on CNN about the healthcare attack.

Wow.

1. No. Obama strongly backs Hillary

[Fast Walker 52]

2. really?

He hasn't endorsed her.

[cali]

3. I think it's pretty clear.

11. Really?

Everyone I know thinks it's weird that he didn't endorse her.

To the normal viewer, it is odd (to say the least)--maybe not for you because you are actively involved with politics, but it doesn't rub the same way for people who don't follow politics daily.

Keep that in mind.

16. I won't speak for Obama in terms of who he supports, but its bad form for a President to endorse...

...a candidate during their own party's primary.

[jkbRN]

18. Good point

13. In your backward, Clinton worshiping Bizzaro world

Notice the laughter when Hillary is mentioned.

Not picking Hillary was the smartest decision Pres. Obama has ever made in politics.

"Obviously a better decision than the Secretary of State he chose."



Yes, he has made some warm comments towards her, but that is it.

[FlatBaroque]

4. Yes. eom

[vi5]

5. Nope...

Establishment "centrists" stand together.

6. Nice comments aside, I'm pretty sure

Obama, Biden, and Axelrod will probably cast their votes (if they vote) for Hillary.

7. Unless there is some old animosity from eight years ago

that has been lingering around, now finding a way out, or that has been rekindled by some recent blundering by Clinton and her team?

Dutch author Harry Mulisch once wrote: in politics, everything will have its eventual revenge.

[wendylaroux]

9. Very true,

I sure as hell wouldn't have forgiven her.

[Fast Walker 52]

14. Indeed-- even though Obama's and Clinton's politics may align more closely than

Obama and Sanders, from what I gather, Obama and Clinton never had a close personal relationship.

And on top of what happened in 2008, HRC may well have done things as SOS or in the campaign that pissed off Obama.

[Betty Karlson]

17. And what goes for Obama, probably goes even more for Biden...

[Dawson Leery]

8. The Obama team backs Hillary, most likely.

They will vote for the eventual nominee. That is certain.

[JoePhilly]

10. One week the claim is that Obama is clearing the field for Clinton ...

... the next week the claim is that Obama hates Clinton and wants her to lose.

Its getting pretty funny.

12. The DNC and the Democrat establishment

WILL put forth the candidate that has the BEST chance of defeating Trump. It is not about Hill or Bern any more. The stakes are far too high.

[mmonk]

15. Their actions speak to partisanship.

[Skwmom]

21. So that's to be their excuse for pushing a corporate, bought and paid for Dem?

In past years people might have bought that b.s. This year.....

[randr]

22. Do you think it would be acceptable for Trump to win?

[betterdemsonly]

19. She has made statements to the affect that she will undo

the progress Obama made with Iran, and that she thinks Obama was mean to Netanyahu, a man who seemed almost like he was plotting a coup against Obama and who has displayed open contempt/racism for African migrants. Obama will support alot of right wing shitbaggery in the democratic party but he does draw the line at obvious racists.

[LexVegas]

20. Stay on message. You guys hate Obama. nt

[Fast Walker 52]

23. No, we don't
