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 dont count when she said shed never lied to the American people just two days ago?? Hmmm.

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

(85,977 posts)...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.

(2,702 posts)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.

On Sunday, the veneer shattered the victim of Mrs. Clintons remarkably blunt interview with Jeffrey Goldberg, a writer for The Atlantic, in which she criticized not just Mr. Obamas refusal to aid the rebels in Syria, but his shorthand description of his entire foreign policy.
Great nations need organizing principles, and Dont 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.

(7,318 posts)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?

(24,411 posts)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.
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
(24,411 posts)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...
