1. Thank you, rivers!

[JudyM]

10. Love the pic you have of BO with the young boy.

Just beautiful!

[Cha]

15. Me too, Judy! President Obama has greeted and hugged so many kids and babies these

years in Office.

Going to be a beautiful book one day.

2. Yawn. Breaking News, huh?

[Sancho]

3. This was reported on Morning Joe this am....

and was discussed as part of various campaign strategies. They showed a clip of someone named Bernie Sanders talking about Hillary's visit to Philly.

I suppose if Bernie and the RW pundits on MSNBC want to talk about it, then it's news.

9. Actually conveniently ignoring the meeting with civil rights leaders

[SoapBox]

11. Or conveniently ignoring the SECOND fundraiser that she was supposed to attend...

Because of the disgusted outrage that she was skipping campaigning in Iowa to suck up for more money?

And then low-and-behold, all of a sudden...she meets some African American ministers...the same day as the Finance Industry Fundraiser.

Yes...the word is definitely "convienent".

13. oh no, they mentioned the fund raiser alright. That was all they mentioned. Not the complete story

[BumRushDaShow]

4. I just found out that the founder of the AME Church was going to get a stamp

as part of the Black Heritage series (will be available in February for Black History month). Mother Bethel Church is the home church of the denomination.

5. Very nice!

[mpcamb]

6. Would it be impertinant to point out:

"Clinton will appear in Philadelphia at a “gala” fundraiser hosted by executives at Franklin Square Capital Partners, a $17 billion investment fund."

And that:

(UPDATE: The Hillary Clinton campaign has postponed a New York City fundraiser scheduled for Thursday until Feb. 16, according to Marisa Faltelson, New York finance co-director at Hillary for America. This story, previously headlined “Hillary Clinton Doing Back-to-Back Finance Industry Fundraisers Just Before Iowa,” has been updated to reflect the postponement.)

7. ha, she rescheduled the second one?

"shit this doesn't look good on me guys let's reschedule!"

XD

[SoapBox]

12. Exactly.

And she has the nerve to use the folks at AME as cover.

Disgraceful.

[SunSeeker]

8. K & R

[mhatrw]

14. LOL at Hillary trying to hide her Wall Street lovers behind a wall of black pastors. nt

[shenmue]

16. Stay classy.

[leftynyc]

17. Yawn

And here is more ludicrous analysis from a Bernie supporter. How pathetically predictable in an effort to deflect from his non-existent minority support. Well done.

[mhatrw]

18. LOL. Black lives matter to Hillary,

at least when they can be used as human shields.

[MADem]

19. KICK-n-REC!!!! nt

[cannabis_flower]

20. Yes, Hillary..

who private prison lobbyists are raising money for

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/7/23/1405229/-Private-Prison-Corporations-Stand-With-Hillary-Clinton

That Hillary? I wonder if these ministers know that Bill is partially responsible for a lot of young black men going to prison and Hillary is getting money from the private prisons that benefited from the mandatory minimums that Bill signed into law (or let pass, whichever the case may be, he didn't veto them and get overridden, I know that).
