1. Maybe he just wants people to calm the hell down.

And talk about the issues.

[mindfulNJ]

4. Could be

[Silver_Witch]

10. That would be super cool.

Maybe after the last primary.

[One Black Sheep]

2. Wow, neat that he posted that. Obama should endorse Bernie, that would be

something!

[onehandle]

3. No. He's basically endorsed Hillary in words several times.

Whoever runs his Twitter account shared a pic. Nothing more.

[senz]

32. I have never heard Obama endorse Hillary as president.

I would be surprised if he didn't have serious reservations about her fitness for office.

Obama’s almost-endorsement of Hillary Clinton

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/02/17/obamas-almost-endorsement-of-hillary-clinton

You think Obama won't stand behind his hand selected SoS?

Ridiculous.

[senz]

50. The NYTimes and WaPo have been lying for Hillary for months.

The NYTimes has been caught in its anti-Bernie pro-Hilary lies and the WaPo has become a joke.

That post-election deal with Hill for SOS was one of the biggest mistakes of Obama's presidency. She had no foreign policy experience and a mediocre, spotty record as a carpetbagged senator.

Obama was not happy with her as SOS but he's very happy with Kerry.

[onehandle]

55. Linkless bullshit. nt

[senz]

58. Then you are not very well informed.

[AgerolanAmerican]

53. those articles are months old

Times have changed... and radically. Since then Sanders has won the vast majority of primaries and Clinton's chance of being indicted has gone way up.

As much as you want to go down with the HMS Clinton, it's not fair to the rest of us to given Trump the easiest Presidential victory in history.

[onehandle]

56. Just plain bullshit. nt

[840high]

70. Really bothers you - eh?

[bvf]

42. No, he hasn't done anything of the sort.

Keep dreaming.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

5. That is not Obama's official page.

[Ash_F]

8. Oh yeah good point.

[mindfulNJ]

14. Community page

Youre probably right.

*Emily Litella voice* Nevermind.

[KingFlorez]

15. You might want to rethink that

You are a Sanders supporter, so play along!

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

18. I only deal in facts, as you know...

I post factual articles and videos.

[bettyellen]

43. Like crap from Fox that the community hides?

[pinebox]

75. Ya like how FOX held a Dem town hall?

Ohhhh THAT.

[bettyellen]

79. their reporting has been proven to be full of lies- but y'all seem enthralled by any RW tripe you

can repost here. I cannot wait until we get some of our standards back so we don't have need to wade through all this bullshit.

[senz]

28. Can anyone tweet as "President Barack Obama?" Aren't twitter handles unique?

[Fla Dem]

77. Official Facebook page

https://www.facebook.com/barackobama

[Joob]

6. Was probably Biden posting on his facebook

Now get that image out of your head hah


Haha, in all seriousness probably not. Just a quote.

[Silver_Witch]

7. It is best for the President to stay out of the fray.

I love him and think he did his very best. Yes, I was disappointed, sometimes my boss is disappointed with me as well. We can't be perfect - we can try though.

I wish I would be here in 100 years to see what History says about this President - I bet it will be pretty cool.

[KingFlorez]

9. That's not Obama's official page. Stop with the misleading.

It's deplorable to try and mislead people. This is almost as bad as the Pope's endorsement, which was worse than the fake Elizabeth Warren endorsement.

[nc4bo]

17. Won't you chill! It's an easy mistake to make.

Jesus fucking Christ on the nastiness on what is probably an unintentional error on OPs part.

[wildeyed]

29. If it was a mistake, then it is silly and worthy of disdain.

Jesus fucking Christ there used to be some standards around this place. If you posted something misleading, even unintentionally, you EXPECTED to get your ass handed to you. It was part of what made this place interesting.

PBO is going to announce that he is endorsing BERNIE SANDERS? Before the primary is over, with almost no path to victory? On FACEBOOK? Come on!

[nc4bo]

35. And an honest mistake was not always met with open, snarling hostility. nt

[wildeyed]

73. Well at least Florez refrained from hurling obscenities.

Unlike you. And if you were truly concerned about the tone around here, you would be sticking up for the pro-Clinton newbies too. Did you? Can I see a link?

It's GDPee. Tell your little friend to check facts first to avoid misunderstandings.

[nc4bo]

78. Spare me. I have seen what THAT poster is capable of so yea..Spare me.

Clinton supporters are much more concerned about hurling personal insults about others' intelligence, including but not limited to Sanders and engaging in ageism and religious bigotry in the name of Clinton, Inc.

So yea SPARE ME.

[wildeyed]

80. So it's ok when you do it because of nebulous "Clinton supporters"

behavior but when others do it they are lowering the tone? Y'all kill me.

[barrow-wight]

68. An easy mistake?

I find it incredulous that the OP did not know that this was not Obama's official page. What with 157,182 likes. Please. Obama's regular page has 2,177,808.

[m-lekktor]

11. I doubt it. Hillary is more his speed. nt

[Trust Buster]

12. How soon you forget the President's Howard University speech......LOL

[nc4bo]

13. This is the name of the fb group, not official. be aware. nt

[jillan]

16. I think it's part of the "Man, we really screwed up by listening to Jon Ralston" campaign.

They know they crossed the line and are now trying to kiss and make up with us Berners.

Too late. The lies that were told were not be forgotten, or forgiven.

[senz]

31. Of course President Obama had nothing to do with those lies.

[msanthrope]

33. I think it's not the President's page, and I think you are mistaken about

A few more things.

[Alex4Martinez]

19. Yup. Clinton as SOS is his greatest regret. eom

[Demsrule86]

20. No he did not

wishful thinking from the Bern and his supporters. Bernie has been awful to Obama and wanted him primaried in 12.

[senz]

25. Obama and Bernie get along very well. They have campaigned for one another

and Obama knows better than you that Bernie did not set out to get him primaried.

[wildeyed]

21. No! That is not the official page.

And if he did, you think he would put it on FACEBOOK first? No! He would def go with Snapchat! Come on! No one is on FB anymore, right?

[fleabiscuit]

23. LOL. Ya, Snapchat!.gov

[IdaBriggs]

22. I think that is just a Facebook fan group.

I believe the official page is https://www.facebook.com/WhiteHouse

[senz]

24. I saw a distinct pro-Bernie bias from Obama in a February news conference.

Obama Supports Bernie on the Issues and is Critical of Hillary

Bernie is much closer to Obama's community organizer beginnings, and there have been hints throughout his presidency that he is not particularly fond of Hillary.

[Bobbie Jo]

26. Falling in line after the Pope's glowing endorsement

no doubt.

[senz]

30. Seems a rather nasty-sounding comment.

[Bobbie Jo]

34. I suppose you don't remember

when someone posted the fake site with the Pope's fake endorsement?

Yeah, that happened.

This reminded me of that.

Meh...

[BootinUp]

27. A lot of Democrats appreciate Bernie's fight against inequality and

have said so on many occasions.

[Nye Bevan]

36. Why would he endorse the guy who says he's made the USA such a horrible place? (nt)

[GreatGazoo]

40. That would be this guy

the awful legacy of the last 8 years guy (?)

[senz]

52. Bernie doesn't lay it all on Obama.

He knows the kind of pressures Obama faces.

[vdogg]

37. This page is not affiliated with Obama.

38. When Obama endorsed Hillary it will be obvious.

39. It would HAVE to be oblivious!

...or else he would endorse Bernie.

[GreatGazoo]

41. new slogan: "I'm obliviously with Her"

[Thinkingabout]

47. In dreams

[bvf]

44. In before the edit...

When Obama endorsed Hillary it will be oblivious.

[aikoaiko]

69. Awesome

[gollygee]

45. A) that isn't his page; and B) it's possible to speak positively about both Bernie and Hillary

Also, quoting someone is not endorsing them. And finally, I would hope that Pres. Obama wouldn't buy into this whole "Candidate A is perfect and Candidate B is evil" garbage that seems to be the trend, and that he'd be able to reference both of them in a positive way.

[litlbilly]

48. The Hill must have pissed him off or something. That sure looks like an endorsement to me

[sheshe2]

49. The man that wanted him primaried?

In your dreams~

[senz]

57. Only to pressure Obama to support saving Social Security.

Obama was going to cut SS payments to recipients, many of whom are very poor and depend on it. Don't forget that SS recipients paid into the system.

Bernie cares about poor people and knew that Obama was being pressured by Republicans to cut SS, so he wanted Obama to feel pressure from the liberal side, too.

But Bernie and Obama get along fine. Obama respects Bernie and knows he's honest and principled in ways that Hill never has been and never will be.

[sheshe2]

60. Nope...

Good try.

[senz]

63. Absolutely. I heard the tape from the radio show.

Is it so difficult to discuss subjects like adults? Does it have to be empty little potshots?

[sheshe2]

64. Yup

[senz]

65. I don't need this.

Life is too short to mess around with glib insincere types. It is with great pleasure that I put you on ignore.

[sheshe2]

66. Cool!

[Vakero]

51. Here is his real endorsement

[2banon]

54. Not quite, but I appreciate seeing it front center on his fb

And oh my goddess, what a GORGEOUS family portrait! I could stare at that one all day, beautiful!

Brings me back to 2008. yeah I didn't like some of his policies, but he was an easy choice over HRC. Easy.

Bernie is even easier.

[SFnomad]

61. It was no more of an endorcement of BS, than this post was an endorcement of Secretary Clinton

62. No. your link is a community page.

It has no affiliation with the POTUS.

Short Description
This page is dedicated to highlighting the achievements of President Barack Obama, motivating and inspiring supporters.

Long Description
Barack H. Obama is the 44th President of the United States.

His story is the American story — values from the heartland, a middle-class upbringing in a strong family, hard work and education as the means of getting ahead, and the conviction that a life so blessed should be lived in service to others.

With a father from Kenya and a mother from Kansas, President Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. He was raised with help from his grandfather, who served in Patton's army, and his grandmother, who worked her way up from the secretarial pool to middle management at a bank.

After working his way through college with the help of scholarships and student loans, President Obama moved to Chicago, where he worked with a group of churches to help rebuild communities devastated by the closure of local steel plants.

He went on to attend law school, where he became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. Upon graduation, he returned to Chicago to help lead a voter registration drive, teach constitutional law at the University of Chicago, and remain active in his community.

President Obama's years of public service are based around his unwavering belief in the ability to unite people around a politics of purpose. In the Illinois State Senate, he passed the first major ethics reform in 25 years, cut taxes for working families, and expanded health care for children and their parents. As a United States Senator, he reached across the aisle to pass groundbreaking lobbying reform, lock up the world's most dangerous weapons, and bring transparency to government by putting federal spending online.

He was elected the 44th President of the United States on November 4, 2008, and sworn in on January 20, 2009. He and his wife, Michelle, are the proud parents of two daughters, Malia, 14, and Sasha, 11.

[DavidDvorkin]

67. That's not his personal Facebook page

It says at the top of that page, just under the name: Community Page about Barack Obama.

[RobertEarl]

71. Of course

Obama is an intelligent person who cares about the future. And I'd bet his daughters are talking to him about the future.

[riversedge]

72. No, Pres. Obama did not endorse Bernie

[pinebox]

74. Here's the screencap

[rozdeep]

76. He must be watching the polls and seeing Trump taking over.

Maybe he is gonna push the super delegates for Bernie at the convention now.
