Obama panicking about his legacy? Advises Left to pick any Democrat
[American Thinker] President Obama, who has yet to endorse anyone for president, has one piece of advice for voters: pick a Democrat, any Democrat, doesn't matter whom.

PJMedia captures the sense of panic in one of Obama's addresses to the barons of Silicon Valley:
"Everybody needs to chill out about the candidates, but gin up about the prospect of rallying behind whoever emerges from this process," Obama told the millionaire techies, according to far-left news channel CNN. "There will be differences" between them, he added, "but I want us to make sure that we keep in mind that, relative to the ultimate goal, which is to defeat a president and a party that has ... taken a sharp turn away from a lot of the core traditions and values and institutional commitments that built this country," those differences are "relatively minor."

"The field will narrow and there's going to be one person, and if that is not your perfect candidate and there are certain aspects of what they say that you don't agree with and you don't find them completely inspiring the way you'd like, I don't care," he went on to say. "Because the choice is so stark and the stakes are so high that you cannot afford to be ambivalent in this race."

This is nuts advice to that audience, given that several of the candidates are all but pledging to put those companies out of business. Should Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, go vote for Elizabeth Warren, who can't stop singling him out as her model bad guy? It's not exactly in tune with what Silicon Valley is up against. How about Bernie Sanders? Should they vote for a guy like that? Some will, but probably not the ones who know that the Sanders idea is annihilation.

What we have here is Obama being Obama, always looking out for himself.

Said with the most ambivalence, leaning toward encouragement of rebellion rather than compromise.

#2 Obama's already pocketed his baksheesh: $68 million, for doing next to nothing, from a Silicon Valley bubble company whose business and valuation depend heavily on favorable regulatory treatment by the Feds.

Pure corruption. And he has the gall to lecture, and posture, and pontificate.
What a worthless piece of shit this little man is.

In mathematics, a negative number is a real number that is less than zero.

#5 All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state. Benito Mussolini

BTW, the party and state are to be one. Scratch one of them and you find a totalitarian in them.

#6 I've long said part of the reason Reagan was so great was because Carter was so bad. Obama was worse than Carter but without the cold war the stakes are lower.

Thank god he used easily undone executive orders so often.

No worries, Hillary wouldn't do anything untoward now would she?

I give thanks everyday that HRC will never be President.
