Corporate MSM is good for nothing but stirring crap upā¦no matter how restrain Obama remains, theyāll still make that excrement fly in all directions.
āSen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT)ā¦ā?
āDā? No. āIā. There is a difference.

Tierney Sneed, Senator Sanders wasnāt saying āa political interviewā, he was saying āa POLITICO interviewā. He was referring to the sit-down interview that President Obama granted Glenn Thrush.
Thereās no question, based on what Obama says in the interview, that he prefers Hillary. His take is that Sanders has had the luxury of being an gadfly/non-establishment candidate and that his iconoclastic policy ideas havenāt been vetted while Hillary, as designated front-runner Democratic candidate with plenty of WH/POTUS/SOS experience with real and realistic, well vetted policy in many areas.
Further, he says out that he doesnāt get why many Sanders supporters are still mad about things that were said during the heat of the Dem primaries in 2008; clearly heās beyond āover itā.

Well, IĀ“m going for the Socialist, but IĀ“d take HRC over any of the clowns on the Republican side. YouĀ“d have to be an idiot to vote for one of those Republicans.
Oh, IĀ“m sorry! That was thoughtless of me!

I agree, it was thoughtless. I would also add that you must either not have much in way of earnings or are in some way looking for your school loans to be refunded to be voting for Bernie. In either case Bernie is your man!!
P.S. if its any consolation to you, I think you should be getting a FULL refund on your loans!!! FEEL THE BURN!

but the two discussed addressing the Islamic State and the U.S.'s relationship with Iran.
Thatās the important point. Obama did say in that politico interview that Bernie has been a fairly one-note candidate so far, and heās not wrong. I think Obama wants to see where Bernieās head is on foreign policy and terrorism and Iām guessing, to make the point that if Bernie wants support from Obama and those he can influence, Bernie needs to step up his game on the specifics in that area.

LOLā¦Giving someone like Bernie an āorderā is much more likely to produce the opposite effect of whatever was āordered.ā And of course, Obama isnāt likely to have tried issuing any āordersā to Bernie, because (among other reasons) Obama isnāt stupid.
In todayās White House press briefing, Press Secretary Josh Earrnest was repeatedly asked about the Sanders-Obama meeting today, and whether what Obama had said to Politico was tantamount to an endorsement, whether he planned to endorse, why hasnāt he endorsed already, etc.
And Earnest made an interesting comment: he said when Obama and Clinton went through a tough, contentious primary in 2008, it made Obama a better candidate, one better prepared to win the general.
He added that the primary was also beneficial to voters in that issues of vital importance were given over to intensive and thoughtful debates.
Why, he asked, would Obama give an endorsement now, and risk potentially robbing the primary candidates, and the electorate, of the benefit of that experience?

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest argued that a competitive Democratic primary was not a problem.
āThat debate is good for our democracy,ā he said. āItās also good for the party. And in the context of that debate, Senator Sanders has had great success in engaging and even inspiring a large segment of the Democratic Party. That ability to engage Democrats and excite them and inspire them will be critical to the success of Democrats up and down the ballot, whether Senator Sanders is the nominee or not.ā
Hear, hear!
