How dare you post such worthless crap. How dare you!!

Delete it and log out would be my advice. Your comments are not fit for DU.

your pretending to be with this post.


Nice try.

And now is as good a time as any to tell you that I find your sig line photo insulting to women.

that post serves no function other than to lower the level of discourse

I have noticed a concerted and concentrated effort by diehard Hillary supporters to do everything they can to debase discussions, and I strongly doubt I am alone.

Posting something like this is usually what is seen on a Right Wing board. "I think Obama hates white America and wants to usher in Muslim Sharia law.."

Such is life.

But I love the duplicity. It validates my opinion of Hill and her supporters.

Don't want to read it again.

Apologize to the liberal who supported Bernie before you probably knew who he was.

To the liberal that supports liberal causes and has for decades with words and money.

No way I'm going to comb through that crap.

Good bye.

here about outright lying?

Anybody?

And that's how most people feel. Seventy something years old, in public service for decades, and is economics or bust. He is an "also ran."

This might be helpful for you. It's from earlier in his long career. Short, pleasant, and makes good points.

Weaver is getting the true Sanders to come out on a regular basis. We have seen instances of how shady he is willing to be throughout his career, but I put nothing past him at this point.

https://m.

What a dishonest thing to say.

It fits well with the absolute corruption of a certain candidate. You know, the one who's been dodging indictments forever?

Must make you proud.

As for your video, honest but tired people do sometimes lose their tempers. But he doesn't sic henchmen on hecklers like some candidates.

I still think we missed out but I know he will have a major impact on the party moving forward. Sanders will be a Senator with few friends for a couple more years.

You always knocked Bernie just like you just did here.

Tells me so much about you.

...maybe a year-long campaign?

...maybe he could just repeat the same speech over and over?

"Sorry about my remarks on coal!"

"Sorry about my remarks on AIDs!"

"Sorry about my support of anti LGBTQ measures."

"Oops, I didn't really mean to vote for IWR!"

"I didn't really mean they were super predators!"

et cetera

Be happy that your candidate is ahead and act like a winner.

Stephen Colbert, who we progressives used to think of as one of our own, can barely make it in the TV ratings game, now that he agrees with Hillary and Bill O'Reilly on so many positions.

A lot of us progressives are pulling the plug op his show, and he now tails behind Fallon And Kimmel.

I see car after car with Bernie stickers and nary a car with Clinton. All my girlfriends who used to support her four or five years ago detest her now and are firmly for Bernie.

And she cannot beat Trump in the General Election. It is a shame the DNC is so helpful to her in the dishonest tactics of her primary election game plays in state after state, but in fact, by popular vote, Bernie is above her.

Here is a recent article from Huff Post then:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tony-brasunas/only-voter-suppression-can-stop-bernie-sanders_b_9780128.html

And quite interesting to me that Hillary supporters refuse to acknowledge since their candidate cannot win the General Election, they are the ones that will bring Donald Trump into office.

Sanders Statement on Indiana Primary Win

“I want to thank the people of Indiana for the great upset victory that they gave us tonight. This is the 18th state that we have won, and we expect more victories in the weeks to come.

“The Clinton campaign thinks this campaign is over. They’re wrong. Maybe it’s over for the insiders and the party establishment, but the voters in Indiana had a different idea. The campaign wasn’t over for them. It isn’t over for the voters in West Virginia. It isn’t over for Democrats in Oregon, New Jersey and Kentucky. It isn’t over for voters in California and all the other states with contests still to come.

“We understand that we have an uphill climb to victory but we have been fighting uphill from the first day of this campaign. We are in this campaign to win and we’re going to fight until the last vote is cast. There is nothing I would like more than to take on and defeat Donald Trump, someone who must never become president of this country.

“The voters in the remaining contests deserve a chance to compare my record and Hillary Clinton’s record on creating jobs, raising the minimum wage, war and peace, the need for health care for all, breaking up big banks, combating climate change and other critical issues. To help voters make the best-informed choice possible, I hope that Secretary Clinton will agree to a date and place for a debate in California.”

people respond to his message

The fact is, Bernie has had years to push his agenda, but has done nothing. He has zip to show for his time in the House and the Senate. Seems to me, and those that aren't naive, that maybe the issue is Bernie.

I am belittling the establishment and ignorance. So it seems you may be in that group?

In the last year, Bernie has raised more money from more people than anybody ever has. These people are not ignorant because they know Bernie's positions, unlike Obama who is ignorant of Bernie's positions..

Here is a partial list of his legislative accomplishments: http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511841756

He gets it done. Unlike Hillary.

because he's busy campaigning. So busy campaigning, he can't disclose his taxes or his financials to the FEC.

Bernie does everything himself; he's not pampered, coiffed, waited upon and ushered about via private jet.

His financial affairs would be a real snooze fest next to Hill's fabulously expensive secret speeches.

President Obama is busy running the country and trying to keep the world from blowing up? Why would he studying the musings of a back bench senator?

I guess he just doesn't care? He has talked a lot about Trump, so he is up on things.

Maybe Bernie scares Obama? He probably should be scared of Bernie, every 1% should be.

Now you have no excuse left to make such ignorant remarks.

Done. He has given one speech and said one thing and then six weeks later given a speech saying the exact opposite.

His wife promotes organic gardening on the White House Rose Garden, while he appoints Monsanto shills to high positions inside the FDA.

And he probably believes that the L shaped recovery that has been the scourge of the middle class is a good thing, as that would be what his real boss, Tim Geithner, tells him

Here, I created these for you, Squinch.

Of a person or issue.

Sort of like that time in April 2009 when Obama came out and said he didn't understand the American economy. That remark was broadcast once and then, I guess one of his advisers thought it a bad idea for the President to brag about how little he knows about such an important matter.

What to do with the nonsense that they needed to atone for the Wall Street errors.

And their top bankers got put in jail, along with the Icelandic versions of the Geithner/Bernanke types.

Meanwhile most people here are unaware of the fact that the way the Economic Collapse was handled has cost each man, woman and child around $ 220,000 !!

Did I miss something?

That's what you missed

He went on to list all of Bernie's major positions with clear jabs at Hillary in #4 and #6.

He knows exactly what's going on.

He can't stand her.

Very childish if so.

and he and Obama have campaigned for one another.

Bernie's an honest, straightforward guy whom people trust.

Ahem, not every candidate is as well-liked and trusted as Bernie.

Sure, he's a nice guy. So?

Maybe Obama is not a study of the person who thought Obama should be primaried in 2012 and then said he should be the one to do this.

... on zero fingers.

Thanks for the humor, we need it about now!

...to travel the world and "fund raise" for it.

What you are viewing is a job interview.

Americans, even the yahoos. He's familiar with Sanders' ideas, hell everyone is. Obama is just trying to look objective, and he still forgets that some of his critics are myopic and obtuse.

... or to tell us what he really thinks about Bernie or Bernie's "plans". Obama knows how to be diplomatic and keep his cool, and not take the bait, and not inject himself where's he's not needed. (He's taking a pass without the need to spell it out and without blurting out an abrupt "no comment".)

So please stick with it!!

He did not say it was just Bernie's issues he said "THEIR positions" so he is just not taking ether side. Nothing here to get worked up about, Obama does not have a dog in this fight thats all.

He doesn't know anything about his former SoS's positions.

I guess he just care who the next president might be or their positions.

Obama is fooling someone, that's for sure.

I guess I should not be surprised that now the president is being blamed for not educating the voters about the greatness of Bernie.

But I must admit I am surprised. I never dreamed anyone would go here.

One might think that Obama would know more than he is letting on.

Then there is the fact that Bernie is not known well. That fact is enforced by Obama's statement that he doesn't know Bernie's positions. So it is no wonder then that Bernie hasn't swept the election, since so few even know his positions?

Many of those that do know Bernie, send Bernie money and vote for him. I wonder what Obama would do if he knew?

So I can think of several other reasons he is not a Bernie Bro.

He thinks that as a sitting Democratic President he needs to remain as neutral as possible until after the primary is over.

He thinks Bernie has no platform. Just platitudes that accomplish nothing.

After spending 7 years fighting the good fight he knows that an ideologue is dangerous.

Since for the last 7 years he has had access to the most reliable security information, he now know that despite his belief that the US has caused serious harm to the world in the past decades, there really are nations and forces way more despicable than we are.

That at the end of the day that anytime the US has enacted major trade barriers the economy has tanked.

He knows that Clinton's negatives are on the table and she still looks like a winner. But after the Republicans and the press introduce Bernie, and his long history to the American people he will be toast.

That while the term Democratic Socialist does not scare folks like you and me, to many people in this country that word is still a poison pill. While the President, you and I would disagree he knows the electorate better than you. After all, he managed to get elected twice.


I am not all that smart and was able to come up with these possibilities. Of course, we will never know. You obviously like the President so want to come up with plausible reasons that he agrees with you but does not publicly express those feelings. You cannot discount the possibility that he is very well informed and thinks you are wrong.

Obama is a 1%er, so he isn't quite in touch with real people like Bernie is.

Obama is quoted as saying he doesn't know Bernie's positions. To me that means he doesn't care and is not willing to learn.

Obama will not have a great legacy as he has let so much slip by without concern. His greatest regret was getting drawn into Libya, and H did the dragging. The ME, while not as bad as it was after H voted to invade, is still a tangle of death and destruction with no end in sight.

Global warming, oil drilling and subsidies to big oil continue and there are now more poor and destitute folks. But hey, Obama's rich as heck!!
