President Obama: Please Endorse Hillary Already

Mr. President, do you want your legacy to be nominating the next George McGovern? The only reason Bernie looks good in polls against Trump is because people who don't follow politics (yet still vote) don't know who he is. Once they did, his self-declared socialism would elect The Donald, either directly, or send Bloomberg into the race if Bernie is the nominee, or drive Hillary too far to the left to get elected. He is dividing our party and sowing needless dissent.

Now is when Hillary should be pivoting for the GE and starting to fight Trump.

Now is the time to do what you should've done with OWS and some of the campus protesters, to have a Sister Souljah moment, and call out the crazies on our side, as not only does the GOP have them (mass-deporters, ammosexuals, etc.).

Unlike Bernie, Hillary embraced your legacy. Bernie and his fans think you're not liberal enough.
PLEASE Mr. President, for the good of America and the Party, endorse Hillary now.

Back then it wasn't known as bipolar, but was later revealed to be diagnosed as such.

McGovern downplayed it, and then called a heckler an ass days before the election.


Nixon and his surrogates went to town on McGovern, calling him crazy!


But, the OP writer is spinning reality the way they want it.

Henry Kissinger urged President Richard Nixon to overthrow the democratically elected Allende government in Chile because his "'model' effect can be insidious," according to documents posted today by the National Security Archive. The coup against Allende occurred on this date 40 years ago. The posted records spotlight Kissinger's role as the principal policy architect of U.S. efforts to oust the Chilean leader, and assist in the consolidation of the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile.

The documents, which include transcripts of Kissinger's "telcons" — telephone conversations — that were never shown to the special Senate Committee chaired by Senator Frank Church in the mid 1970s, provide key details about the arguments, decisions, and operations Kissinger made and supervised during his tenure as national security adviser and secretary of state.

"These documents provide the verdict of history on Kissinger's singular contribution to the denouement of democracy and rise of dictatorship in Chile," said Peter Kornbluh who directs the Chile Documentation Project at the National Security Archive. "They are the evidence of his accountability for the events of forty years ago."

Today's posting includes a Kissinger "telcon" with Nixon that records their first conversation after the coup. During the conversation Kissinger tells Nixon that the U.S. had "helped" the coup. "[Word omitted] created the conditions as best as possible." When Nixon complained about the "liberal crap" in the media about Allende's overthrow, Kissinger advised him: "In the Eisenhower period, we would be heroes."

Well, I couldn't leave
Unless the old man chased me out,
'Cause I'd already promised
That I'd milk his cows.
"I had to say something
To strike him very weird,
So I yelled out,
"I like Fidel Castro and his beard."
Rita looked offended
But she got out of the way,
As he came charging down the stairs
Sayin', "What's that I heard you say?"

I said, "I like Fidel Castro,
I think you heard me right,"
And ducked as he swung
At me with all his might.
Rita mumbled something
'Bout her mother on the hill,
As his fist hit the icebox,
He said he's going to kill me
If I don't get out the door
In two seconds flat,
"You unpatriotic,
Rotten doctor Commie rat."

It's enough that he says Cuba should democratize.

There is no good reason for anyone to be calling for the end of free education and healthcare in Cuba...they need less repression, not "shock therapy".

The Cold War is over, and Cuba is just another country now.

It's time for OUR leaders to stop trying to interfere in a country where we never had any right to interfere at all...not in 1898, not in 1961, not now.

Leave Cuba's fate to the Cubans.

The Democratic Party needs to confront its unresolved, 44-year-long phobia of McGovern if it is to have ANY credibility when addressing the set of problems now faced by this nation (especially on the economic front).

We now have an economy in which any any and all economic recovery accrues to the wealthy, who in turn can use such wealth to buy politicians on the open market and make "investments" in Congress to make themselves even wealthier.

One such politician, however, is NOT FOR SALE, wants to break that cycle, and has consistently advocated policies that could have prevented and/or ameliorated the problems that the nation now must address.

Alternatively, we can continue to quiver in fear of McGovern's shadow, and lose states like Michigan that have been particularly ravaged by these economic problems, where Rs have run riot on the state level the last few years, when during the general we hear "She negotiated the TPP before she was against it," "She took millions of dollars from the very same banks she says she told to 'cut it out,' " and so on, ad naseum.

18. Obama should have had a Sister Souljah moment with OWS?!?
Sun Mar 27, 2016, 04:23 AM
Mar 2016
The main issues raised by Occupy Wall Street were social and economic inequality, greed, corruption and the perceived undue influence of corporations on government—particularly from the financial services sector. The OWS slogan, "We are the 99%", refers to income inequality and wealth distribution in the U.S. between the wealthiest 1% and the rest of the population. To achieve their goals, protesters acted on consensus-based decisions made in general assemblies which emphasized direct action over petitioning authorities for redress.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupy_Wall_Street

This sounds exactly like what our country and party needs. Does my recognizing the undue influence that corporations have on the government vis a vis the revolving door and campaign finance make me a crazy leftist needing to be called out? Or are you a conservative or classical liberal (correct term for neoliberal, in my estimation) who has a cynical disdain for those who seek a more equitable world because you have either given up on such as an aspiration or disown it as a positive end entirely ?

The very first thing that Hillary Rodham Clinton promised to do is to follow up the Republican/Netanyahu disrespect for Pres. Obama by inviting Netanyahu to the White House for a rapprochement. She has already invited him, several times in articles and speeches. This is her promise to reset things in a Republican/Netanyahu-centric way, a way that for her triangulates out to be the winning strategy of being the most Republican of all Republican candidates on matters of war and economics.

Gotta give her credit, she outdoes Trump in her total disrespect.

He won't do it because he's smart enough to know he'll need to endorse the nominee as soon as one of the two candidates concedes. Saying he should do it is undermining how intelligence he is.

Also it would be saying fuck you to the states who have not voted, one of which is Oregon. So you really are interested in disenfranchising voters? Maybe you might want to rethink what you are saying.

I wonder if the DU administration ever regrets their choices.

Your OP is hysterically funny.

He already threw her unofficial endorsements, twice.

by super Tuesday. Your candidate is so weak she can barely beat an unknown socialist lol. You Hillary supporters crack me up, she is weak and an ineffective campaigner. She is the weak link and you prove it by begging Obama to endorse your weak ass candidate.

is more telling about HRC and how weak she'd be running against the GOP. Kid gloves and Debbie running interference isn't going to rescue HRC against the big, bad, GOP.

She is losing the blue states in a primary. If that isn't a wake up call, don't know what is,

76. A few things:

1) The President won't endorse shit until the convention. You are delusional if you think otherwise.

2) Do you really believe that Bernie's popularity is due to people not "knowing who he is"? Bernie Sanders' poll numbers have been climbing since he declared, not falling. Hillary hasn't made hers go up in a single state.

3) Are you actually Bill Kristol IRL? Because he's the only other person who makes this many wrong claims in one go.

88. Why should he have denounced OWS?

They stood for nothing but positive change.

The only people who opposed them are people who are right wing on everything.

There is never a good reason for a Democratic president to attack the left.

We've done nothing to deserve it.

98. I imagine he'll want until it's absolutely clear who has the nomination and then he'll endorse

That person.

He wouldn't want to endorse one, and then have the other one end up with the nomination. That would weaken that candidate's campaign.
