Obama to meet with Bernie Sanders at the White House

With the Iowa caucuses just days away, Obama recently showered praise on Clinton and threw some cold water on the Sanders.

“Hillary Clinton would be happy to participate in a debate in New Hampshire if the other candidates agree, which would allow the DNC to sanction the debate”, Clinton spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri said. But she continues to be dogged by questions about her mishandling of sensitive government email while she was secretary of state and her close ties to Wall Street over the years. But in an interview last week, he tacitly endorsed his former secretary of state.

The campaign is specifically targeted at voters in Iowa, ahead of the February 1 caucuses. “Bernie Sanders in the final week before the Iowa caucus”. Clinton has pledged to protect his signature legislative achievement-the Affordable Care Act-while saying that Sanders wants to rip it up.

On Wednesday, Clinton criticized Johnson Controls for urging a bailout for the auto industry, then going for a merger to go offshore to avoid USA taxes. The senator hasn’t been a regular at the White House. So Bernie requested a meeting, meeting of fellow socialists in the White House, they had the meeting today.

“I don’t believe that at all”, the senator from Vermont told reporters on the White House driveway.

They burst into applause when a biographical video shows Clinton’s 1995 speech in Beijing when she declared, “Women’s rights are human rights”. He defended her campaign style, which he described as cautious, saying that she “knows every policy inside and out”.

“It’s been Hillary all the way”, said Mary Charipar, a 63-year-old retired math teacher from Cedar Rapids.

He quickly dismissed comparisons between Sanders’ surging campaign and his own in 2008 against Clinton: “I don’t think that’s true”.

Iowa had been seen as a safe bet for Clinton earlier in the cycle, as she regularly posted double-digit leads there.

Supporters suggest such criticism is mainly the carping of political foes. “But it’s also important to remember how far we’ve come under the leadership of President Obama and Vice-President Biden”.

“Americans need a raise”, she said. “She’s been brilliant and she’s been accused of a lot of untrustworthy behavior”. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said he was unaware of any request from O’Malley to meet with Obama but that Obama would try to make time for him, if asked.

Even though, according to Mercury Analytics, more Democrats are considering voting Republican than vice versa, Sanders still shouldn’t worry about splitting the Democratic vote (at least not enough to cost him the election).

Obama has said in the past that he would not endorse candidates during the primary.

From January 18 – 24, Quinnipiac University surveyed 606 Iowa likely Democratic Caucus participants with a margin of error of +/- 4 percentage points.

Heather Gross, 44, was among those who backed Clinton in 2008. A conservative group linked to GOP strategist Karl Rove is up with critical ads against her in Iowa, while Clinton allies have also framed another outside group’s ad calling Sanders “too liberal” as a coded message meant to galvanize liberals against her. Brown said. “Who would have thunk it when the campaign began?”
