before the winner. I'm sure it's because no one wants to hurt Bernie's feels but it still looks bad to me.

Hint: he's the taller one

It's clear that the top Ds view Sanders as a loose cannon who needs to be handled carefully. They will toss him a few meaningless bones to keep him on board, but at this point, the goal has to be to marginalize him while not pissing off his most-zealous followers.

and most admired man in the world - President Obama being gracious and kind.

Bernie's post-PBO meeting statement was the DEMOCRATIC platform as it is. The interesting thing is his supporters really don't understand that Presidents are not dictators. Bernie would never ever have been able to do most of the stuff he wanted because you have to have a Congress who will fund a president's policy agenda. Right now the GOP controls both houses. By souring his followers on the DEMOCRATIC party, he's made it harder for us to get the down tickets wins we need to get both houses back in Dem control.

It is what it is. We just have to work harder.

must pass and acceptance must come before anything else.

Bernie met with Obama that's the facts of the piece. Characterizing it as "sucking up" is just being inflammatory.

I know BS' history of dissing the President on the campaign trail.

Trash it if you don't like it.

... none of these posts make it to the DU home page. Even on the "Latest Threads" page, it's clearly prefaced with the Hillary Clinton Group label.

any crap about what I post in our own group.

Within reason of course.. all I did was speak the truth.. nothing against TOS.

Brilliant Endorsement from Obama, eh Jackie?!

... and he did an excellent job of weaving a couple threads to honor and acknowledge Bernie too. That man has got it goin-on!

While his has disappointed (made me crazy) me over some things he did well enough to warrant this and I 'hope' he refocuses on getting stuff done in the Senate.

His action in the next couple weeks will mold his legacy for sure.
