Ya think? Of course the White House told Bernie. If not before, then when he asked for a meeting with the President. Come on, folks, news does not mean stating the obvious.
āObama endorsed Clinton in a web video released by Clintonās campaign shortly after he met with Sanders Thursday at the White House. After their meeting, Sanders vowed to stay in the race.ā
No complaints, but the timing does have a bit of a āyou donāt have to go home, but you canāt stay hereā¦ā vibe to it.
ROBBED! OBAMA FIXEs THE DC Primary BY Endorsing HillarY BEFORE the DC Primary which MEAnS THE vote, and the Nomination IS GOING to swing to Hillary. āPresumptiveā nominee my ass.
I read the Sanders stuff and it sounded like heās gonna stay in for DC and then suspend. The strident āSuperdelegates havenāt voted yet!ā stuff was not there this time.
Yeah, I wouldnāt want to put myself out there speculating on what Bernie is or is not surprised by.
A lot of this boils down to the principles of civility, which saves a lot of human conflict from escalating, at all levels of human interaction. Most adults know this.
Kids on the playground donātā¦and neither do people who think B-movie Westerns reflect reality.
Depressing the vote! Depressing the vote! Obama is guilty of voter depression.
That sounds like the smart play: he can finish the race with his head held up, and without having to suspend. Thatās a huge win.
He already won the right to have his people put on the platform committee; and Iāll bet that the President was able to further sweeten the pot: more prime time appearances during the convention, perhaps?
Itāll be up to Secretary Clinton to deliver the final pieces of the deal - throw the weight of a Clinton White House behind bills heāll introduce?
(And the last bit - a sealed envelope with her Goldman Sachs transcripts :))
Very nice, Josh. I donāt think anyone should be surprised and/or āhurtā by this announcement. He acknowledges that Bernie is well and able to make his own decisions and so is the President.
After 8 YEars OF DICTAtororial OVERREAch and Socialistic UTOPIary, WHAT do YOU ExpeCT? I understand FROM sOURces that post_presidency, HE"s undERTAKING a Mission TO FINd HIS HAwaII BIrth CERtificate. THE Long FORm one WITh the raised seal.
Obama spanks Bernie. Good, he deserved it. Please sir I want anotherā¦
Also, President Obama isnāt the manās biggest fan and has been quietly pushing for Clinton for 2 monthsā¦
If Bernie were shocked by this endorsement, heād be the only person in Americanā¦
How much are you being paid to post this crap?
Iām glad folks are happy about the Platform Committee, but honestly Platforms donāt really mean a thing. When a President walks into the Oval Office reality of how things work sets in. Thatās why many of us agree with Bernieās ideas, but without the House, Senate and Supreme Court, we get squat. And one thing Iāve seen over this primary season is that Dem Party members had a problem with Bernie joining the party so he could run. Hillary has been there all along. She has worked hard for the last couple of years to get her delegates on board. I am totally impressed with how she has done it. She learned from 2008 big time.

Iām afraid youāve been had. Eustace is our resident satirist of all things Red State and far right rhetoric in general.
I know who I want to take me home. These bedroom eyes are for you, Hillary.
p.s., thanks for referencing one of my favorite local bands.
Well in print the tone is lost. Why donāt you use āsnarkā so we know?
Poeās law in operation. A beautiful sight to behold.
Hint: needs more random punctuation.
