But the most telling thing about the article was that Sargent stopped quoting Obama as soon as he (Sargent) got to the part where he (Sargent) was trying to claim that Obama was "taking sides". Instead, he simply told us that that's what the President was doing.

As mentioned in a previous thread, that's the "day Bernie dies."

Good, bad or indifferent? It's still the day.

If Hills wins the nomination and she endorses Clinton. Will you throw Liz under the bus, too?

I hope she doesn't.

I really like her.

A lot more than I like Obama.

While Bernie Campaigns Hillary Sells Us Down the River

http://www.commondreams.org/news/201...h-their-checks

Seemingly undeterred by the consistent critique that her close ties to the financial industry are hurting her campaign, The Intercept on Tuesday reports that with less than a week until the Iowa caucus, Hillary Clinton will soon leave the hotly-contested state to attend a pair of Wall Street-sponsored fundraising events.


Clinton will appear in Philadelphia at a “gala” fund-raiser hosted by executives at Franklin Square Capital Partners, a $17 billion investment fund. Rocker Bon Jovi will reportedly play an acoustic set for “friends” who pledge $1,000 and hosts who bundle up to $27,000.

The Philadelphia Inquirer notes that “Franklin Square employs Ivy League-educated money managers and salespeople with experience at big Wall Street firms – plus four personal trainers and a dietitian to keep staff happy and productive amid the gym, yoga and nap rooms, Sol LeWitt art installations, and fancy cafeteria.”

Clinton will then head to New York City, where she will speak at a lunchtime “Conversations With Hillary” fund-raiser. This one is co-hosted by Matt Mallow, a senior managing director and general counsel at BlackRock, the world’s largest asset management firm. As we’ve reported before, having a conversation with Hillary is not cheap.

Realistically Hillary has more chance of reforming Wall Street than Sanders ever would.
