With all due respect to Sen. Sandersāand I have a great amount of respect for himāthis type of innuendo is beneath him. Hillary Clinton embraced President Obama years ago ā¦ remember when she joined his administration? Seriously, Sen. Sanders, please donāt go there. You are also belittling many black Americansā choice(s) to support Clinton ā youāre saying the wool was pulled over their own eyes.

āAnd we know what thatās about,ā he continued. āThatās trying to win support from the African American community where the President is enormously popular.ā
And the problem with this is? But he has āenormous respectā (sound familiar?)
Use the āpā word Bernie, use it! Hillary is āpanderingā. Unburden yourself. Say it! saaaay it!

Why in the world is the fact that her actual policy proposals embrace Presidentās legacy a ploy for AA votes? Whereās that high-road āletās talk about issuesā thingy in that sort of comment?
Sorry, that is total bullshit. And my tolerance for bullshit is quite low.

Bullshit! If she is āhuggingā Obama to win favor with Black folks then she started it when she became Obamaās Secretary of State. Iām part of the Black vote Sanderās wants to win and the more he opens his mouth the more he pisses me off.

Iām not really sure this comes across like he thinks it does. In fact, it sounds downright bitter, particularly coupled with his own nicely couched jab at Obama at the end.

Exactly. He canāt get more votes with this BS; he can only solidify the (subtely racist) Berniac vote. By coming right out and saying this, he affirms my belief that heās courting all the so-called progressives that just couldnāt stand President Obama.

A lot of people say āI like Bernieā or āI love Bernieā. I donāt like/orlove him on a personal level and itās shit like this that just reinforces my feelings.

All this type of talk does is come across as him stirring the pot ā a very ugly and foul-smelling pot called āracism.ā

Yeah, that was immensely dumb to say. What did he hope to achieve by doing that? Sounds like a tad of desperation seeing as how heās going to lose SC big time and probably NV too contrary to the press now crowing itās a tie in NV. Weāll see, eh?

Mr. Sanders, many of us like it when Hillary embraces Obama because we also like Obama, and think heās been one of the best presidents in our countryās history. And in the face of ridiculous Republican hyperbole about how awful Obama has been, we find it refreshing that Hillary is happy to celebrate the Presidentās many accomplishments.
Stuff like this is why I just canāt feel the Bern.
