it wasn't an attempt to trash Obama it was an attempt, and a dishonest one it should be noted, to make Sanders look good.

on Hillary and Obama. His overly ambitious staffers seem to be swapping his credibility for possible posts in his administration.

That was Ted Kennedy's bill and his dream of immigration reform.

Sanders voted nay.

nothing in his campaign is his fault but somehow Clinton is responsible for anything and everything that happens anywhere that is at all possibly negative toward Sanders. I just love the double standard. The fact is this stuff is becoming a bit of a pattern with the Sanders campaign. I can't say he is responsible for this but I must say this is part of what is becoming a disturbing pattern of dishonesty that frankly her campaign could never get away with.

"

You can't come in here and undo everything!" Kennedy told Obama, according to Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC.

Kennedy was angry, Graham would later recall, because Obama had signed on to be part of a bipartisan coalition of senators pushing a comprehensive immigration package, and yet he kept straying from the group's agreements.
