Sanders says Obama not trying to 'tip scales' for Clinton

[Freddie Stubbs]

Bernie Sanders said Wednesday he doesn’t believe President Obama is trying to tip the scales in favor of Hillary Clinton in the Democratic race for the White House.

Obama praised his former secretary of State this week in an interview with Politico, saying she would be more ready to be president on her first day in office than anyone who had not previously served as vice president.

Two days after the interview, Sanders was at the White House meeting with Obama.

“There was some discussion the other day about a Politico interview where he was tipping the scales towards Secretary Clinton. I don’t believe that at all,” the Vermont senator told reporters after a 45-minute Oval Office meeting.

1. What will the reaction from Bernie's fans be?

Note to Jury: I'm just asking. I haven't speculated about any specific reaction, nor have I indicated my belief (one way or another) that any group or specific Bernie fan will behave in a certain way. This is not a "broad-brush" smear against anyone. It's just a question.
