1. They we're right after all

He made a much better President. Just like Bernie is going to make a much better President.

3. In that same exchange, Hillary's campaign said that Obama wasn't fit to be commander in chief

This what she does when she's in attack mode.

It's called acting like a rabid wolverine on steroids during a campaign season.

And if her opponent does anything but stand there and take their pummeling quietly--then Hillary becomes the victim.

She did this to Obama so many times in 08, she's got it down to a science in 2016 with Bernie.

I really hope New Yorkers are paying attention.

2. What's a black man gotta do to be considered qualified?

Hypocricy thy name is Hillary.

11. Total hypocrite

4. "Hillary Clinton. She’ll say anything, and change nothing...

...It’s time to turn the page. Paid for by Obama for America." (2008 campaign ad)

5. We need to get THAT on posters all over Harlem and Bed-Stuy.

And in Philly and Pittsburgh as well.

6. If only they had tweeted that right before Super Tuesday. n/t.

8. Another shining example of Hillary's judgement nt

9. Clinton didn't say that, her 'Aid' did. I think Sanders & Mrs. Clinton should team up, like she

said could happen in 2008


from 2008

Still, Wolfson said Clinton would not “rule out” Obama as a potential vice president, in the event the Illinois senator is somehow able to prove he meets the test to be commander-in-chief in the five months between now and the August Democratic National Convention
The Clinton campaign had been pressing the idea of a Clinton-Obama “dream ticket” as a way to win over Democrats torn between the two candidates at the same time it has been aggressively questioning Obama’s readiness to be commander-in-chief

10. "Clinton chief spokesman Howard Wolfson declared Monday...Clinton does not consider Obama qualified"

Hillary Clinton chief spokesman Howard Wolfson declared Monday that Clinton does not consider Obama qualified to be vice president.

12. think her 2008 'Aid' has changed his mind by now & even changed his mind the end of 2008 article

early 2008

But in an unusual logical twist, Wolfson said Clinton considered it possible that Obama might be able to demonstrate his readiness for commander-in-chief between now and August, when the Democratic National Convention meets in Denver and the party’s nominee must choose a running mate.


You won't change my mind, I'm ok with Clinton or Sanders but I would love for them to team-up. Yin & Yang.

13. I agree they didn't really believe it. It was just a cheap political smear.
