Youd think that Hillary Clinton couldnt ask for a better friend than Barack Obama, who recently declared that her use of an unsecure email system has not jeopardized Americas national security.
But youd think wrong.
A source close to Hillary tells me that shes upset with the president, because shes heard that Obama has been giving Bernie Sanders campaign tips on the QT.
Why, you might ask, would Obama hand Hillary a Get Out of Jail Free Card on the FBIs email investigation while he helps Bernie drag out the Democratic Party primary race?
The answer: He knows that once Hillary clinches the nomination, which he believes is inevitable, she will become the de facto head of the Democratic Party and his influence will be significantly diminished.
And so, while he happily watches Hillary and Bernie duke it out all the way to the July convention in Philadelphia, Obama has been a busy bee.
Hes organized international summits on nuclear non-proliferation and climate change, thumbed his nose at Congress on immigration, and unilaterally put into effect new rules governing corporate inversions (making it harder for American companies to move their headquarters overseas) and financial investment advisers.
Next month, Obama will travel to Japan for a summit of the Group of Seven industrialized democracies. While there, he may pay a visit to Hiroshima, the site of the worlds first atomic bombing.
No sitting U.S. president has ever visited Hiroshima, out of concern that such a trip might be interpreted as an apology, reports the Washington Post.
Such niceties havent stopped Obama before.

What would happen is...
"Thanks; America; for doing our urban renewal we had planned but never got around to before the war."

Since Obama normally says whatever is the opposite of the truth, his remarks on Hillary’s classified data crimes tell us that: Obama IS interfering with the case; he has info from highly placed informants, even if not directly from the AG or FBI Director; Clinton’s actions were illegal, unusual, and damaging to national security.
Obama seems to be signaling to Hillary that he is rigging the game in her favor, while going on record to say the exact opposite. Is he protecting Hillary, or protecting himself FROM Hillary, to avoid her revenge if/when an indictment comes down? I choose to hope it’s the latter.

For the sake of appearances, he’ll support Hillary while opening a backdoor to the commie. My guess is when Hillary blows out, Biden will be substituted with the commie as VP. That keep the millennials on board hopefully. Otherwise the commie goes independent and screws any opportunity for Obama to retain any power at all.

Two minutes and fifty seconds into the song, a long message in Morse code plays in the background. John Woloschuk, in an article in the fan magazine The Morning Sun, finally provided a translation of the code: "From Alfred, heed thy sharpened ear A message we do bring Starship appears upon our sphere Through London's sky come spring."Love this place... always something interesting to learn. Thanks Sam.

Eh.
If he wanted to help Bernie he would have endorsed him and told Blacks to vote for him.

Klaatu: I am leaving soon, and you will forgive me if I speak bluntly.
The universe grows smaller every day, and the threat of aggression by any group, anywhere, can no longer be tolerated. There must be security for all, or no one is secure.
Now, this does not mean giving up any freedom, except the freedom to act irresponsibly. Your ancestors knew this when they made laws to govern themselves and hired policemen to enforce them.
We, of the other planets, have long accepted this principle. We have an organization for the mutual protection of all planets and for the complete elimination of aggression.
The test of any such higher authority is, of course, the police force that supports it. For our policemen, we created a race of robots. Their function is to patrol the planets in spaceships like this one and preserve the peace. In matters of aggression, we have given them absolute power over us. This power cannot be revoked. At the first sign of violence, they act automatically against the aggressor. The penalty for provoking their action is too terrible to risk. The result is, we live in peace, without arms or armies, secure in the knowledge that we are free from aggression and war. Free to pursue more... profitable enterprises.
Now, we do not pretend to have achieved perfection, but we do have a system, and it works. I came here to give you these facts. It is no concern of ours how you run your own planet, but if you threaten to extend your violence, this Earth of yours will be reduced to a burned-out cinder.
Your choice is simple: join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration.
We shall be waiting for your answer. The decision rests with you."
Helen Benson: I need to know what's happening.
Klaatu: This planet is dying. The human race is killing it.
Helen Benson: So you've come here to help us.
Klaatu: No, *I* didn't.
Helen Benson: You said you came to save us.
Klaatu: I said I came to save the Earth.
Helen Benson: You came to save the Earth... from us. You came to save the Earth *from* us.
Klaatu: We can't risk the survival of this planet for the sake of one species.
Helen Benson: What are you saying?
Klaatu: If the Earth dies, you die. If you die, the Earth survives. There are only a handful of planets in the cosmos that are capable of supporting complex life...
Helen Benson: You can't do this.
Klaatu: ...this one can't be allowed to perish.
Helen Benson: We can change. We can still turn things around.
Klaatu: We've watched, we've waited and hoped that you *would* change.
Helen Benson: Please...
Klaatu: It's reached the tipping point. We have to act.
Helen Benson: Please...
Klaatu: We'll undo the damage you've done and give the Earth a chance to begin again.
Helen Benson: Don't do this. Please, we can change. We can change.
Klaatu: The decision is made. The process has begun.
Helen Benson: Oh God!

Klaatu was an interesting band. When they first started releasing records, it was rumored that they were The Beatles recording under a pseudonym. On the same 1976 album that contained Sub-Rosa Subway (cover below), they had a song called "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" that oddly was one of the last Top 40 hits for The Carpenters.
