What the White House Really Said isn't proClinton.

The rumor-mongering on the pages of the antiSanders NYT is baseless as news and doesn't withstand even the most basic test of reason. By that I mean who else are these monied interests supporting if not Hillary?They certainly aren't fractured by their efforts to support Bernie!

So that message doesn't make a whit of sense on its face. Way to go NYT.

But we do have the Response of the White House, and according to the White House Press Secretary:

"President Obama made a case that would be familiar to all of you; which is that as Democrats move through this competitive Primary process we need to be mindful of the fact that our success in November in electing a Democratic president will depend on the commitment and ability of the Democratic party to come together behind our nominee."


I hear in that more of a warning against Clinton's scorched earth campaign alienating Bernie supporters than anything else. It's good advice that Clinton will not heed.

based on his statement that he will stay in the race. I don't know which politician has a right to try to come between Sanders and his donors.

But now that it's on my mind maybe we'll raid the rainy day fund for a stronger expression of support and gratitude for Bernie and all the work he's doing on our behalf.

Thanks for the reminder.
