President Obama, in an extensive interview published Monday, defended Hillary Clinton and questioned Bernie Sanders in his strongest terms yet – likening him to a “bright, shiny object” and dismissing comparisons between his own 2008 bid and Sanders’ rise.

Probably a Zippo lighter from Bernie’s college days at Stalingrad U.

OBAMMY probably used a Bic when he went to Tehran U... Or borrowed ValJar’s.

We should not turn our backs on Obozo. He has lots to prove in his remaining time. And, he has already said that he would do whatever is necessary.

Whatever that means.

Fortunately Obama doesn’t understand his endorsement is the kiss of death.

I remember when Biden called Obama bright and clean. Is that similar to a bright shiny object? Takes one to know one!

That was Biden’s racist way of saying Obama cleans up pretty good.
