The former Obama Press Secretary, Jay Carney two days ago stated "the President has a preference in the Democratic primary to replace him: Hillary Clinton".

Last night Hillary clearly 'wants Bernie Sanders to know she's got President Barack Obama's back'.

So what does this all mean
1. The former Obama Press Secretary does not speak out with such a statement. This is a leak from Obama to Hillary that we will not indict over the emails or back another candidate such as Biden.
2. Hillary's statements last night was kissing Obama's ring (you know: message received, pucker up, done deal!).
So Hillary is the Democratic Nominee.
As if we needed any further evidence, this means — forget any possibility of her facing justice. There will be no indictment. She will be the democrat nominee.
The consolation is that we should see some leaks by the FBI that should prove that she is guilty.
Good!
The Bernie supporters are very similar to we Trump supporters - if the democratic party puts Hillary up instead of him, they’re not going to vote for her, and some amount of them will vote for Trump instead as the other “outsider” in the race (even though I can’t quite comprehend how they consider Bernie an “outsider”).
While true that Carney wouldn't speak out like this on his own, I don't think Obama would need to use a surrogate to send that signal to Hillary - he would just call her and tell her he's not going to have her indicted. I'm sure that call has already happened. This was a signal to Dem voters (and Dem-leaning independent voters) that it is OK to support Clinton.
.....this assertion is possibly accurate. But, the truth is that nobody knows what the dynamics of this situation are because cable news informs that they (the dynamics) change daily and sometimes literally minute to minute.
Comey has a say in this and Loretta Lynch has a say in it and the FBI LIFETIME PROFESSIONAL and non partisan lawyers have a say in it and a VERY hostile electorate has a say in it. Lynch could move to indict Hillary whether Obama liked it or not. If she chooses not to, and just sucks up to Obama, her legacy for the rest of her life might become Jimmah Carter-esque or Richard Nixon-esque or worse. Lynch has to be wondering too when Obama’s luck run outs? When it does, and it will, as a relatively young woman, where does her future stand in the all important world of “public opinion” over coming decades.
So, I think J. Carney was just running his little liberal mouth and nobody breathing air on this earth KNOWS what the hell is going to happen. Loretta herself is probably enormously conflicted every night when she goes to bed. And, none of these Marxist liberals TRUST each other and will stab each other in the back at the drop of the hat.
I think Obama used Jay as a cut out, if Hillary did not respond correctly to Jay’s statement then the deal was off and Obama would be able to claim no White House official had made a statement of backing Hillary. Think parsing and deniability.
If Hillary goes down, so do a lot of others and that includes Obama. There’s no way he can say he didn’t know she was using a private server. That’s why this may be in the news but that’s as far as it goes. And half the people in this country will say “So what. They all do it.”
I wonder if Jay plans to dump that 7-figure salary at Amazon and come back to work for the Clinton regime in 2017?
Certainly possible. If I've learned anything watching the Clintons for the past 30 years and the Obamas for the past 10, it's that nothing they do should ever, ever be taken at face value, since there's always something going on behind the scenes.
Which candidates wants to spend the most of the people’s money? The big spenders are all standing in line wanting to make bigger deficits. Let us all run to vote for the biggest spender!
I work 50 - 60 hours a week and pay 30% in taxes. Why not make the able body government benefit recipients spend 20 to 30 percent of their week working to help government? Using a 40 hour work week then this would only be 8 to 12 hours a week!
Don’t be too sure about that, Hillary is facing a revolt in her own Party from the youth and women.
