Obama to meet with Sanders

President Obama will meet privately with Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Wednesday.

"Tomorrow, President Obama and Senator Bernie Sanders will meet informally at the White House," press secretary Josh Earnest said Tuesday, according to pool reports.

"The President and Senator Sanders first discussed this meeting last December when Senator Sanders attended the Congressional Holiday Ball. The two will meet privately in the Oval Office and there will be no formal agenda."
The announcement comes a day after Obama heaped praise on Sanders' rival and Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in an interview with Politico.

the film he was shown the first day of office? AKA

I have this feeling man, 'cause you know, it's just a handful of people who run everything, you know … that's true, it's provable. It's not … I'm not a fucking conspiracy nut, it's provable. A handful, a very small elite, run and own these corporations, which include the mainstream media. I have this feeling that whoever is elected president, like Clinton was, no matter what you promise on the campaign trail – blah, blah, blah – when you win, you go into this smoke-filled room with the twelve industrialist capitalist scum-fucks who got you in there. And you're in this smoky room, and this little film screen comes down … and a big guy with a cigar goes, "Roll the film." And it's a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you've never seen before … that looks suspiciously like it's from the grassy knoll. And then the screen goes up and the lights come up, and they go to the new president, "Any questions?" "Er, just what my agenda is." "First we bomb Baghdad." "You got it …"
