How are President Obama's supporters going to take the news that Clinton violated their agreement?

You know the one she signed when she became SOS.

After President Obama gave her a great job she turns around and ignores the agreement, putting President Obama's legacy at risk. She should have honored the agreement.

If she is the nominee, this will become common knowledge once the Clinton Foundation, etc. starts being discussed.

From anecdotal experience, I would say it's not a positive for Camp Clinton.

And then there is using Blumenthal against President Obama's wishes... And it is Bluementhal's advice that led to President Obama's biggest regret....

Since she didn't honor her agreement with President Obama, why should we think she would honor anything she has said on the campaign trail?

The "All things Obama are perfect" crew seems to have moved on to adoring Clinton.

Didn't mean to offend you, I have never mentally put you in the group "All things Obama are perfect" since you've always seemed reasonable to me and the ones I'm thinking of often don't seem reasonable.

GD-P is getting to me I guess.. Sorry.

seems to be quite an affront. But Bernie wanted to primary Obama or something.

5. He did not take any steps to primary Obama. He said someone running would pull Obama

back to the left.

Then of course there are the comments in the emails and on the campaign trail.

It was a flip comment from Bernie that he walked back almost immediately. If you listen to Hillary Supporter though, you'd think that Bernie put together an exploratory committee and ran ads.

6. I have never thought for a millisecond that Hillary would honor anything she says at all.

Anywhere, any time, any issue, anything. That, IMO, is the wisest way to proceed.

... trying to create reasons for them to dislike each other.

Good luck with that nonsense.

11. It makes perfect sense how an Obama supporter wouldn't be upset about Clinton's actions

reflecting negatively on President Obama. Yeah, that makes perfect sense, but only in the Clinton insider bubble.
