Does anyone else find it a bit weird...

[npk]

To watch Hillary champion President Obama and his accomplishments in almost every speech she gives, when she ran one of the nastiest primary campaigns in 2008 against Obama. She and her husband did almost everything they could to try and tear down Obama. Now of course she acts like they have always been in lockstep. She makes it seem like she has the most in common with President Obama and that Bernie Sanders is an outsider, always pointing out that he is an Independent and not a Democrat. I also find it weird when she goes after Sanders for having taken an opposing viewpoint against Obama and criticizes him relentlessly for that, but forgets that she was one of his biggest critics before it became advantageous for her not be.

Just hard to watch.

1. Cool story, bro. nt

15. I worry about your back

[noretreatnosurrender]

2. She Has To Do It

she can't get votes on her own record.

[JudyM]

14. I was thinking that too; she puts Obamas record up as if it's hers. Bernie has his own to stand on.

3. It's weird to me that people here are so seething with hatred against Hillary, whereas both

Obama and her got over the contentious '08 campaign rather quickly, and she helped him get elected and then served as SoS.

[HERVEPA]

4. That would be "Obama and she"

[DanTex]

6. Good point.

8. I don't have any animus against Hillary

I just wish she would stop trying to make it seem like she has always been President's Obama's biggest supporter. She champions the Affordable Care Act on the campaign trail like it was her idea, and she hammered him on it even after she lost the primary.

[DanTex]

12. Of course not, why would anyone think that? LOL.

She's been a big supporter of Obama since shortly after the primary ended in 2008. And regarding ACA, the plan that Obama passed resembled her primary platform more than his: remember, his original plan didn't include the individual mandate. She's been fighting for universal healthcare her entire career, and Obama knows and praises her for this.

[npk]

17. Yes but she was fighting for universal healthcare for all

The same thing Sanders is doing. Sanders believes that ALL Americans should have access the free healthcare, not just Affordable heath Care. That was a position that Hillary took when her husband were in the white house and Sanders and many others stood behind her. So it just seems hypocritical. And yes Obama did model parts his ACA based off of earlier proposals not just from Hillary but many other high profile Dems, including Sanders. I guess my point is that I see Hillary supporting much of the same status quo that many other corp Dems support, while Sanders envisions tearing down many walls that keep us from truly coming a progressive culture and fair economic system that would be the envy of the rest of the world.

[DanTex]

19. She is still fighting for universal healthcare. Single payer isn't the only way to get there.

And she believes, as do I, that given where we are now, single payer is not the most effective route there.

[riderinthestorm]

20. No, shes "fighting " (cough) for universal health COVERAGE, not health care nt

[Avalux]

5. I'm not sure I'd use the word weird. More like ruthless.

The woman has an ends jusitifies the means mentality; she will do ANYTHING to win. That's why I can't ever trust her or vote for her.

[amborin]

9. yes, totally lacking ruth; to the point of

clinical sociopathy, it seems; listening to her coldly laughing about Kaddafi's death was one of thousands of clues

[840high]

21. Word.

[Tarc]

7. I find it amusing the Camp Sanders builds Obama up in one thread

and tosses him under the bus in several others. Funny that our President has become a political hackey sack for you guys.

[Gwhittey]

16. Another person who is going to have back problems

[rhett o rick]

18. We don't idolize. We will give him credit when due and hold him accountable when needed.

I know that's a strange concept for those that believe in idolizing their leaders. Authoritarian worship.

[Jitter65]

10. She was Obama's staunchest members of his team and she and Bill campaigned hard for his election

I don't remember anything from the Clinton campaign against Obama quite as personal in a nasty way as I see from Sander's supporters here and around the Internet. She was running in a Presidential primary just like Bernie right now but his campaign seems quite a bit more negative than hers.

[KingFlorez]

11. Adults move on and work together

Despite the contentious campaign in 2008, President Obama appointed Clinton to one of the most important cabinet positions. Not everyone holds grudges forever.

[Angry Dragon]

13. that is politics

the goal is to get elected ............... the truth just has to suffer
