This means Warren: Obama backs challenger to Hillary
By Edward Klein
President Obama has quietly promised Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren complete support if she runs for president a stinging rebuke to his nemesis Hillary Clinton, sources tell me. Publicly, Obama has remained noncommittal on the 2016 race, but privately he worries that Clinton would undo and undermine many of his policies. Theres also a personal animosity, especially with Bill Clinton, that dates from their tough race six years ago. A former Harvard law professor and administration aide, Warren would energize the left wing of the Democrat Party just as Obama did against Clinton in 2008. Thanks to her outspoken stand against big banks and the top 1 percent, Warren is the darling of progressives. She won her Senate seat thanks to millions of dollars in donations from outside Massachusetts, including from rich environmentalists and Hollywood celebrities.

I suppose she is a centrist compared to Obama. The GOP better give us a good candidate or Hillary will be the next president.
Bill and Hillary will not let Elizabeth Warren get the nomination. I would bet money on it.
I just finished Blood Feud. I believe him.

Heap big pow wow in Fort Marcy Park.
Look at Democrat history. They DO NOT want a proven performer. They want a messiah. That requires an unknown.
Jimmy Carter
Bill Clinton
Barak Obama
He's not actually saying that she's a centrist. The closest he comes is to imply that she may not be as committed to transforming "America into a European-style democratic-socialist state" as Obama or Warren. That could actually hurt Hillary with her base.
But I don't really buy it. Obama may make some background noises, but no way is he butting heads with Hillary, especially over some unproven quantity like Warren.
