For the 19 months since Hillary Rodham Clinton departed as President Obamas secretary of state, she and Mr. Obama, and their staffs, have labored to preserve a veneer of unity over how they worked together and how they view the world.
On Sunday, the veneer shattered the victim of Mrs. Clintons remarkably blunt interview with Jeffrey Goldberg, a writer for The Atlantic, in which she criticized not just Mr. Obamas refusal to aid the rebels in Syria, but his shorthand description of his entire foreign policy.
Great nations need organizing principles, and Dont do stupid stuff is not an organizing principle, Mrs. Clinton said, referring to the line that Mr. Obama has used with aides and reporters to describe his reluctance to inject the United States into messy foreign conflicts.

Just another glass house attack by Hillary.

Obama knows what it's like to be on the receiving end of HRC's lie-based campaign

Doesn't prove that Sen. Sanders wasn't thinking that he doesn't support Pres. Obama
