Under the bus goes the president! DanTex Jan 2016 #5

Did you honestly expect any other statement from him? MineralMan Jan 2016 #30

PBO is smart enough to know that openly endorsing HRC will help Bernie more than hurt zazen Jan 2016 #36

Obama made that choice long ago. He surrounded himself w/people from the Clinton Admin Skwmom Jan 2016 #38
