Obama “During the course of a primary, people say what they think might help them get some votes,”

Yup! He said it when asked about Hillary while in Japan.

1. Mediaite says it was a knock on Bernie, not Hillary. But he was talking about both.

Oddly enough, brietbart actually covers this more fairly.

2. I watched the whole press conference and Bernie wasn't even mentioned during that exchange.

He was earlier tho. What Obama said in Japan mirrors what he said in 2008 about Hillary.

That's my take but he could be talking about both.

4. You missed it. Watch the clip in the link. Questioner asks about both Hillary and Bernie. (n/t)

5. Thanks I will check it out again!

6. It could be taken as a knock against himself.

7. Yes, that as well. Basically, it's just a statement of political realism. (n/t)

3. Who didn't know that? nt

8. Probably both imo

I feel like he's trying to remind people that people in a primary will say all kinds of nasty shit in a primary and then kiss and make up later and work together to beat the other side. After all, he was on the receiving end of it from Hillary in 2008.

9. That very well could be as was pointed out. I'm going to watch it again

It just reminded me of what he said in 2008.
