Well, you tried , Mr. President. Now it’s back to business as usual.
Who wrote this nonsense. Was it so hard to read that teleprompter, Mr. President?
Joe, “IT’S A BIG FUCKING DEAL” knows what the outcome of this game’s going to be.
The Democratic Party has left us with the notion that we have to vote for a Democratic President, based on who the Republican opponent is. Totally disregard the fact that the candidate is under FBI investigation.
And feeding us bullshit about PBO’s legacy is at stake, when the Clintons have never left the stage, but have been behind the scenes and out front, doing everything to keep & secrue that”Clinton” era.
They will NEVER, EVER, forgive us, and especially that BLACK GUY BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA for beating that ASS, and helping to move America forward. Now that’s HISTORIC.
Sad state of affairs.

I don’t know if anyone in the Obama admin reads our blog or tweet.
Either way, I’m going on the record to let folk know that I didn’t fall off the turnip truck, hit my head, blanked out, came to and in agreement with this sideshow from the Democratic Party.
Chicas, this is the ISH that infuriates me. When someone tries to diminish another person’s hard work and call it a lie and pretend it didn’t happen. This is fighting ISH for me. Bernie Sanders didn’t have to do ISH during the Civil Rights Movement. He could have watched black folks get their ass kicked while he watched from the sidelines. But no, he chose to be all up in it. It was just as dangerous for white people joining the Civil Rights Movement as it was for black people. Some whites paid with their lives. Don’t fuck with no one else’ hard work they have contributed to equal rights for everyone and the betterment of society. I’m still angry about what the Clintons did. No moral code mofos!

Great comment and video, SG2. (((APPLAUSE!)))
The Clinton camp have already tried to DIMINISH the Obama administration.
It started in 2008, continues today, and will continue, if she and Bill get back in the WH.
I’m stunned stunned stunned President Obama would endorse someone under criminal investigation and then spoon feed us the lie that she is compassionate as if we don’t know the truth about Hillary. If this is about protecting his legacy and he’s putting in the hands of someone under a criminal investigation? Fuck all the way out of here.
It’s a double-edged sword, isn’t it, SG2? On the one hand, you’ve got someone who served as SoS, and has brought nothing but scandal to his administration. She was given an opportunity to serve the country, Americans, and all she brings is drama and scandal.
She’s been the ANVIL, on top of GOP OBSTRUCTION. She drags down anyone who comes in contact with her. So if he’s doing this to protect his legacy, it’s not working, because this SHITTY STAIN she’s leaving behind STINKS.
The memory of supporting this witch will be the stain on his LEGACY.
Exactly. No compassion. She uses people for her purposes. She hems people in and stifles them with pressure until they loose their inner freedom breath. She is willing to squash people who aren’t on board with her.
John Lewis is another one she used to downplay Bernie Sanders activism in the Civil Rights Movement. I’m furious about that ISH. After that soundbite she took the South. John Lewis then issued a statement correcting the record but it was too late. Soundbite all across the country.
Oh, no!
I am so not up on politics, SG2.
Please tell me more about what John Lewis actually said and how she took it out of context.
I love John Lewis and all of his civil rights painstaking work. I am upset and teary eyed.
When John Lewis endorsed Hillary Clinton this is what he had to say.
John Lewis: ‘I Never Saw’ Bernie Sanders
John Lewis clarifies comments on Bernie Sanders
http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/john-lewis-clarifies-comments-bernie-sanders
Civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis on Saturday clarified comments he made earlier this week questioning Sen. Bernie Sanders’ involvement in the civil rights movement. Lewis, who is supporting Hillary Clinton over Sanders in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, had said he never met Sanders.
“In the interest of unity, I want to clarify the statement I made at Thursday’s news conference,” Lewis said in a statement from the Congressional Black Caucus PAC, which endorsed Clinton on Thursday.
“I was responding to a reporter’s question who asked me to assess Sen. Sanders’ civil rights record. I said that when I was leading and was at the center of pivotal actions within the Civil Rights Movement, I did not meet Sen. Bernie Sanders at any time. The fact that I did not meet him in the movement does not mean I doubted that Sen. Sanders participated in the Civil Rights Movement, neither was I attempting to disparage his activism. Thousands sacrificed in the 1960s whose names we will never know, and I have always given honor to their contribution.”
Lewis had also suggested that he had known Bill and Hillary Clinton during the civil rights era, a comment he also clarified. ”If you take a look at a transcript of my statement, you will find I did not say that I met Hillary and Bill Clinton when I was chairman of SNCC in the 1960s. My point was that when I was doing the work of civil rights, led the Voter Education Project and organized voter registration in the South in the 1970s, I did cross paths with Hillary and Bill Clinton in the field. They were working in politics, and Bill Clinton became attorney general of Arkansas in the 1970s as well. That began a relationship with them that has lasted until today,” Lewis said in the statement.
The clarification comes as both Clinton and Sanders make aggressive efforts to court African-American voters ahead of primaries in South Carolina and other Southern states. Lewis is a prominent civil rights activist who still has scars from injuries he received on the Edmund Pettus Bridge during the march from Selma to Montgomery for voting rights. Sanders was a student organizer at the University of Chicago during the era.
Thanks for bringing me up to speed on how Hilary Clinton misused John Lewis’ statement. Even though she knew what she and her husband had been doing at the time she allowed people to think that they were involved with John Lewis in civil rights together. So wrong of her to do that!
Hillary Clinton is a white woman running for President of the United States of American. She is the presumptive nominee.
She has been scandal-ridden, since the days of Bill Clinton’s presidency. Both of the them, full of drama, lies, power-grabbing, money, hungry, pomp and circumstance, etc. She’s currently under FBI CRIMINAL investigation.
Would someone please tell me what is the difference between Hillary Clinton and any of the other white male GOP & Democratic presidential candidates with above qualities?
What qualifies Hillary’s nomination or possible presidential win as HISTORIC?
Being First Lady? Senator? Secretary of State? (which by the way, were UNREMARKABLE)
And possibly President?
All this shows me is that she worked her way up the power grid, just like most of the other male candidates. DIFFERENCE? She’s a woman.
It’s absolutely MIND-BLOWING to even think that this woman could be the first with all that SHIT she’s carrying with her.
OMFG! A whole lot of fuckery going on …

The President has worked hard. He has accomplished a great deal, and he doesn’t want to see it undone. Trump, in concert with Ryan and the Turtle would do just that.
https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/740682848412147713
I hear you, Rikyrah. you’re right. PBO has worked HARD. One of the few Dems in his party that has kept his nose to the grindstone these past 7 years. Nobody can wipe that out.
The President has said quite clearly that his legacy is quite safe.
And I have every confidence that he and Michelle will be just fine when they leave that Shit-hole that is the D.C. beltway.
We know what the GOP is capable of. The Democratic leadership knows it too. But yet, it’s become a game to these people. They are choosing the status quo & POWER over the PEOPLE.
What do you believe Hillary Clinton, along with her husband Bubba would do when they return to the White House?
My point is the Dem Party is recycling trash to return to the White House. We know what each one of them are capable of, and who will be running things there.
I hear your anger. But, this is truly all about the supreme court. I would rather roll the dice with Clinton’s choice of multiple Supreme Court nominees rather than Trump/McConnell/Ryan.

Ohhhh Looky here Chicas!
https://twitter.com/BlackWomen4Bern/status/741088948991234048
I always knew she was a fake…Never could get into her…always tried way too hard I thought…No surprise she’s sneaky as sh*t…
This has all been quite eye-opening for Bernie I can imagine…
That’s why she wouldn’t come out and endorse Bernie…even though they were friends and she knew his heart was good and in the right place…but she kept sneaking around …and suddenly from out of left field started trying to conveniently over-compensate with the overblown back and forth with Trump..
She’s another one I always gave the side eye…
My FLOTUS taught me…
I watch my FLOTUS carefully …and I take my cues from her…
When FLOTUS the ultimate hugger passes up on hugging anyone, it’s a clue…and a red flag..
Just like that sneaky, backstabbing, wannabe president Tim Kane…and his fake self and false modesty..
When FLOTUS hugged everyone including most of the republicans seated with them at the last National Prayer Breakfast…and only politely acknowledged Tim Kaine on their way in and as she and POTUS left…I knew something was up…
Tim Kaine was so sure POTUS was going to pick him as VP…and then POTUS picked Joe instead… and even though POTUS gave him the DNC chairmanship..which he sucked at by the way…he clearly wasn’t appeased…
I’ve been wondering since when did Tim Kaine and Hillary become such great pals that he’s everywhere effusively praising Hillary in ways he never ever even began to praise POTUS who is supposed to be his pal..
But then he’s shortlisted as a potential V.P for Hillary and is dancing for his supper…
These people are all opportunists of the first order..
Hubby and I were laughing at that clown show act of Warren’s last night.
She’s a mess…She too used to be a republican only until recent years..
A pure clown act. I am not impressed. She sat on her ass for years and ignored GOP racism against PBO and now she wants to speak out? GTFOOH Elizabeth with your fake ass progressiveness.
Y’all see how a white woman can be under a criminal FBI investigation and get a pass to run for the highest office in the land? #AMERIKKKA
“Compassionate” Hillary To Voter: ‘Why Don’t You Go Run for Something, Then?
Yuck…HC just squashed her like a bug.
and that cackle afterward…
Her true colors really came out once the black girl dared not to buy her initial canned fake response..
Condescension ensued and the black girl was promptly dismissed from Massah’s presence…with her smirking and disdainful courtiers ready to step in to throw the peasant out..
Yes, her true colors did come out.
I could slap SHILLARY sideways into Sunday.
but how many black women are falling in line and propping up this BITCH?
I CAN’T
Lets talk abt Hillary Clinton being so ‘compassionate’. OMG! I’ma catch the vapors. So much ‘compassion’ for Ashley.
RECEIPTS! LOL so we don’t get it twisted.
Do they really believe we are this naive and brainless not to see behind this SHAM?
Interesting that it was a White House announcement and did not come from her.
Go watch the press conference again…Josh Earnest when asked about FLOTUS couldn’t make eye contact and literally stuttered his way through that part..
Watch the press conference again…Josh Earnest when asked about FLOTUS, couldn’t even really make eye contact …and literally rushed and stuttered his way through that part..
I see that.
No, it did not come from her. FLOTUS being on the campaign trail is about preserving POTUS’ legacy. Just like I think the endorsement is about that.
I Ain’t mad at POTUS or FLOTUS doing what they feel they need to do.
I’m not going to vote for HILLARY

I suppose they’ll next release the campaign schedule for the kids…and Grandma too…
Everybody has to get to working for Massah Hillary.. or else..
http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/glee/images/5/5f/Tears.gif/revision/latest?cb=20130301030547
BWA HA HA HA Not the kids! They’d really jump shark if this were a reality. But don’t underestimate the Clintons; They’re capable of anything.
No seriously..it’s a thing already…
They’re already pimping tales of Malia casting her very first vote for Hillary a woman …
You can’t make this stuff up..
https://twitter.com/ArykanotErika/status/740368995279241217
I think part of my saddest feeling..and biggest heartbreak is knowing that my proud, proud, principled FLOTUS, who always bristled against crap like this ..and all the other unprincipled stuff one is required to do as a politician, will have to follow suit in the next few days…
And for what..? To support a woman and her supporters who have been as much a part of demeaning and dehumanizing and maligning her as right-wingers…
My heart aches in advance…
That will have me in tears.
Yeah, FLOTUS has worked so hard on the things she is really passionate about. Now this.
Never heard so many people as I’ve heard in the past few days suddenly acknowledge or remember the President even had a wife …
FLOTUS is only good for servant work…
Not for important milestone State visits abroad…not to be acknowledged for her brilliance and sacrifice…
Heck, the woman can’t even get Mother’s day wishes without everyone telling her how ‘lucky’ she is to be married to the President who is the reason her kids are ‘beautiful’ and well-raised..
Don’t even get me started or I’ll lose it..
https://twitter.com/BuzzFeedNews/status/741072940456775680
God wouldn’t have picked her, Joe. This is getting very weird. It’s hard to watch people do this. Jill Biden is next I suppose.
LOL It’s laughable, this HARD SELL by the current administration
I’m no longer insulted by this staged sideshow. Expecting BO & SUNNY to wag tails and tongues for the Hilster this weekend,
Oh, no, not Bo and Sunny.
Liza, you gave me a good laugh with the Sunny and Bo bit..
But don’t be surprised if they make a cameo appearance …maybe in the next month or so when Hillary visits the White House to pick the President’s brain on something or the other..

Now Elizabeth Warren is screaming : “Trump is a thin-skinned racist” really? Turn that mirror right back at your own party, who refused to show & give their full-throated support the Black Democratic POTUS.
Miss me, and. Warren.
I was just coming to post about Elizabeth Warren Ametia…I was looking for just the right gif to go with my thoughts ..
https://media.giphy.com/media/3o85xkyAKNTuwm15eM/giphy.gif
They better have a plan B besides this formatted silly act she and Hillary are doing against Trump….It will wear thing fast…it already has …and it’s only June…
LOL Perfect Miss Ann can miss me with the theatrics!
You and me both Ametia..
You know, I’ve been wondering where all these suddenly highly vocal, bold and brave folks have been hiding these past 7 years…we sure could have used their help and their voices – including when Trump was actually attacking the President a few years ago …and there was not a peep…they all shrugged and told us it was all politics as usual, that it came with the territory…that the President was a big boy…but now they want to dredge it all up…not because they care or because they were even offended, it’s only to exploit it to further indict Trump and to rally our votes for Hillary…Like I’ve said before, I long ago exhausted my Trump anger …at the time Trump was birtherizing…I was so furious…and even more so because nobody seemed to be as outraged or offended…black folks like Arsenio et all were still sucking up to him, fighting each other to claim a spot on his celebrity apprentice show, and competing for his attention…Oprah gave him and his family the full spotlight by having him and his clan on her show, boosting him and giving him even more credibility by gushing about what a great father he was and what great children he had raised…Ivanka even gave Oprah a pair of earrings from her new line then, which Oprah proudly wore and advertised for her..
And think about this…
Suddenly, we are all women right now…because Hillary…
But just as they were nowhere to be found as FLOTUS was mercilessly demeaned and dehumanized, watch for them all to get all mute and deaf again and scamper away into dark holes like rats once a black woman is running for president…or they’ll offer up their own preferred type of ‘black’ woman …one who is alternately able to declare herself something other than black on certain days..
That’s how they roll fam..
Talk to me, Chicas! Why in the living hell did he endorse Hillary & then an hour later put out she is under criminal investigation? WHY?
https://twitter.com/3ChicsPolitico/status/741061903829467136
I’oin’t know nothing ’bout no criminal investigation!
This HC tweet bugs the heck out of me. She’s quoting from his endorsement video… choosing a quote that says she is “compassionate.” What?? It has always been about herself… I see her as calculating.
She is getting on my nerves.
https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton/status/740972975680290820
The Clintons wrote that SCRIPT, so she can do whatever she wants with it.
It’s for the “BLAH” & Brown people. Lookie here, Obama’s the man. He wants me to follow him into the WH!
Remember, this witch exploited the mothers of Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis, Michael Brown.
This is very, very upsetting to me.
I do think that she will exploit others for her purposes.
That’s all the Clintons have ever done is exploit people to advance their careers and their own personal gain. Morals be damned!
I feel she is exploiting my fear of Trump to vote for her. Scare politics… that makes her very scary, too. And, it is now making me scared to vote for her. Oh, what a day…
I refuse to be exploited!!!
In all the time I’ve paid attention…nobody has ever mistaken Hillary for ‘compassionate’…
Not even the President who once described her as ‘wicked smart’…but not today…
Look and listen to the President Yahtzee…this was scripted for him…even his attempt at ‘enthusiasm’, fell flat…
He may as the days go by begin to reconcile his forced words with his body language…
He’s been able to flatter some of his worst enemies in the republican party…and kept a straight face while doing so…I’m sure he’ll be able to come around to comfortably doing the same for Hillary with a straight face, as he stomps for her..
You know, when I saw him in the video, he reminded me of a hostage.
It’s been too sad to watch..Yahtzee..
I’m so disappointed even though I knew it was coming…
I’m always so much harder on people I love and people I know know better and can do so much better…
Politics consumes the soul and integrity of even the most decent people…but as my wise mama always says, you have to have more than a narcissistic streak to be a successful politician…
We all forget in the end, that that is what they all are…some do get into it for all the right reasons, but somewhere along the line, ever so slightly lose their way…and are consumed by it..
i.e. as far as his body language
Yes, I remember you said it was coming.
LOL omg, hostage’ is exactly what he looks like.
