TIME Newsmaker Interview: Bernie Sanders Says He’d Make a Better President Than Hillary Clinton

90. Neither did Kucinich when my precinct met with him. He defended Obama as a progressive to the ODS

gang who invaded our meeting.

They were LaRouchies and wanted Dennis to work to impeach Obama because the troops had not yet come back from Iraq. He informed them the POTUS has intelligence that Congressmen don't know about, and his job is much different than the job of a Congressman.

He had talked to Obama in the White House, and while there he realized that from the point of view of his position, he respected his decision. At times a member of Congress must make a case opposing a POTUS of his own party, because it is what his voters want. At least Democrats have that leeway, Republicans never criticize their POTUS openly.

Bernie has also no doubt had talks with Obama in private, and his report on him is like others who have talked to him in the White House, without the media there to skew his words. He is a progressive and liberal who is being obstructed like no other president since Lincoln, treading a dangerous path to get anything done.

Those in the media who make out that any Democrats who criticize the president really don't approve of him, is just an attempt to divide the party by using B&W reasoning. Some people will fall for it and think there is blood in the water, which is pathetic. It's also why they're worthless in making changes in real life.

Note that Bernie did not go after Clinton as some are dying for him to do. She is very intelligent, but not as savvy as Obama. It will require a great deal of voter enthusiasm to overcome GOP shenanigans. They intend no less than to topple the federal government while carving out fiefdoms for the Koches.

It will take a united party to stop them and they will use media to stoke divisions that are not there. A look at the videos I posted of Hillary supporting Obama in 2008, shows she did not make a mealy mouthed or insincere endorsement. They showed the style difference, though.

She sounds just like Bill, her cadence is the same and even her head motions and expressions remind one of Bill Clinton. After all, being married to the same person for years has that effect.

I will add that, in her speech on the stump for Obama, she warned the PUMAs to not jump ship. So those that did, and continued to criticize Obama, did not do her will, and not her responsibility.

She's been unfairly maligned to the point of being dishonest for many things by far right and far left who have met on the outside and decided to hate the Democratic Party as one entity, just about. The GOP, because they know that Democrats will push liberal agendas when they have the numbers to do so, and the far left because libertarian views are not going to be enacted.

Bernie respects both Obama and Clinton. There is no feud.
