President Obama- Fortunate to have worked with Hillary Clinton

[DemocratSinceBirth]

The White House on Thursday said Hillary Clinton is qualified to serve as president, rebutting comments from her Democratic primary opponent, Bernie Sanders.

“The president has said that Secretary Clinton comes into this race with more experience than any other non-vice president in recent campaign history,” White House spokesman Eric Schultz told reporters aboard Air Force One.


Schultz added the president was “fortunate” enough to have Clinton as his secretary of State for four years, when they “worked together on complicated, on complex issues.”


The White House came to Clinton’s defense after Sanders said his rival was unqualified to serve as president.

"This campaign will fight back" if attacked, Sanders said at a Thursday press conference in Philadelphia. "This is not the type of politics that I want to get in."

4. Thank you for contributing to my thread and may you have a lovely weekend.

And I would be remiss if I didn't also thank you for kicking my thread.

8. Clinton in a 2008 debate in a very unscripted moment speaking out on her frustration that

the progressives were supporting Obama stated something along the lines that he is no different than me, we are the same.

7. Let the Obama bashing begin

In the real world Obama's approval rating is above 50%, in the DU bubble probably in the teens. I think he has been an outstanding President who has had to work under very difficult circumstances.

9. Obama didn't say "fortunate" -- Schultz did

Again, the issue is not her experience but her conflicts of interest in taking on the banks and other major players that have donated to her campaign and bought influence through the Clinton foundation.

With Scalia off the SCOTUS we have an opportunity to put the era of not recusing oneself due to obvious conflicts of interest behind us. We should take it.

10. The OP should change the header here.

12. I would rather break my leg than change my header.

Please see Post 11.

Thank you in advance.

11. Is or is not Eric Schultz authorized to think for the president...

Is or is not Eric Schultz authorized to speak on behalf of the president and if the answer to the former is yes is it fair to dismiss your objection as being without merit?

Thank you in advance.


Sincerely,

P.S. I would be remiss if I didn't thank you for kicking my thread.

16. No Schultz doesn't "think for" Obama and the unedited quote is one step removed from the President.

“The President was fortunate to have Secretary Clinton serve as his Secretary of State for four years, when they worked together on some of the world’s most complicated and complex issues,” Schultz said.

Obama supporters don't want the Bush-hugging Clintons rolling back the progress we have made during what Bill Clinton called the "awful legacy" of the last 8 years. We want to build on Obama's brilliant legacy.

17. If you believe...

If you believe the White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary isn't authorized to speak for the president there is nothing I can do to disabuse you of that notion. That's his or her raison d'etre.

[JudyM]

19. It was not Obama who said it. But it's your credibility here, so your choice.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. I couldn't care less what you and your associates think of me and my credibility.

I wear the scorn of you and your associates like a crown, a real big one !!!

21. Ok, whatever works for you, buddy. And back on the substance: your headline *is* false.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. Respectfully, if I lived a million lives I couldn't be your "buddy" in any of them.

23. The false respect is duly noted. As is your unwarranted hostility. I simply pointed out the truth.

25. So many prevarications, so little time...

P.S. I would be remiss in not thanking you for kicking my thread. It is causing agita in all the right quarters.

13. Strongly agree. Annie Oakley's initiatives

for promoting global fracking and regime change in Libya and Syria were highly effective. Not to mention her dual role as arms broker and Clinton foundation fundraiser for foreign countries wishing to buy American weapons.

15. Thank you.

I agree with your cordial spirit. We just disagree about HRC's qualifications to be POTUS. I believe Bill Clinton's election was a tragedy for many poor people and non-violent drug "offenders" and HRC's election would be a tragedy for the world. I truly hope you have a great weekend too!

18. well said Mr. President

24. Obama who? Is he the guy who just gave a speech in 2002?

[B Calm]

26. Obama is not stupid. Have you ever heard about keeping your enemies closer?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

27. No. I never heard that axiom

No. I never heard that axiom. Unlike the uber worldly denizens of this board I never heard such an axiom.

28. You are Hilarious.

29. You are Hilarious.

You are Hilarious.

And charming , perspicacious, virile, and handsome. Thank you.
