Obama Met With Bernie At The White House. The Intellect In That Room Must Have Been STAGGERING.

Just curious – has Martin O’Whatshisface been invited to meet with the president this election cycle? (Don’t hold your breath, Governor Abs.)

According to this, President Obama met with Bernie Sanders to talk about – stuff, I guess. The article says “domestic and foreign policy issues, ‘plus a little bit of politics’” (emphasis in original), which could have been anything, really (are domestic golf courses just as green as ones overseas? Inquiring minds want to know!) After the super-secret 45-minute meeting, #FeelTheBern said he felt like the Obama White House has been fairly even-handed this political season – even though Obama said that Hillary could start governing on Day 1, were she to be elected president (but, you know, the primary voters have to have their say… *obligatory disclaimer*, yadda yadda, etc., Marx Save the Queen…)

Emerging from the White House after meeting with Obama for 45 minutes, Sanders said he wasn’t bothered by a recent interview in which Obama appeared to be tilting toward his former secretary of state.

 

“I think he and the vice president have tried to be fair and even-handed in the process, and I expect they will continue to do that,” Sanders said.

And while Sanders hasn’t embraced Obama’s agenda as much as Clinton has, he said Wednesday that on most issues, he hews closely to the White House’s views.

 

“There’s no secret that we have, as is the case in a Democratic society, we have differences of opinion,” Sanders said. “I was on the floor of the Senate disagreeing with him over taxes. We disagree over (the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal). By and large, over the last seven years on major issue after major issue, I have stood by his side to where he has taken on unprecedented Republican obstructionism, has tried to do the right thing for the American people.”

 

Sanders was seen arriving to the West Wing alongside his wife, Jane, and his spokesman, Michael Briggs, just after 11:30 a.m. ET Wednesday. His meeting with Obama was the first time the former Senate colleagues have held a substantive discussion since Sanders’ candidacy began surging in early voting states, a come-from-behind boost that some have compared to Obama’s own race against Clinton in 2008.

So… Bernie is trying to cash in on Obama beating out Hillary in the primaries in 2008? After all – they’re so similar. They both surged in the polls when the young people came out in favor of socialist “hopey-changey” bullcrap. They’re both promising the moon and a colony of purple unicorns to every transgender pansexual otherkin otter that shows up to vote. Just… one was a hip, young, black dude and the other shows a passing resemblance to the Crypt Keeper.

But, you know. Anything for free stuff, right?
