She not only got her supporters to back Obama in 2008 and was a great servant in his administration, but is embracing him instead of running away from him. The Obama coalition is real' not a 2008 thing the way Mrs. Sanders seems to think it is, and the proof is in the numbers in terms of Black support Hillary gets. Obama legacy is very important to Black voters and one candidate embraces Obama while the other is lukewarm. Not saying its right or wrong...just saying what it is. So its smart for her to do that. Just like its smart for Bernie to continue to go after Hillary on Wall Street ties.
