Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumJay Carney: Obama supports Hillary Clinton
Jay's a previous WH press secretary.
Carney said Obama won't make an official endorsement until the race is decided, but his intentions are clear.
"I think the President has signaled, while still remaining neutral, that he supports Secretary Clinton's candidacy and would prefer to see her as the nominee," Carney said. "He won't officially embrace her unless and until it's clear that she's going to be the nominee. I think he is maintaining that tradition of not intervening in a party primary."

Traditionally, presidents don't make primary endorsements.

It's not like it matters the political blowback. Near as I can figure every other candidate in the race, and I mean everyone, and their supporters, hates him.

Hillary knows this.. she thanked him for all his kind words a few weeks ago. He even called out bern.
And, now this from Jay.. is remarkable, GusBob.
GusBob
(7,286 posts)With much respect, that's like letting the jury system process work itself out on DU.
How's that working?
No. Time for stronger action. Now.
We had our quarterly business meeting today for our office. We are projecting out 6 months and plan accordingly.
Proactive not reactive.
We can't let things happen. We make them happen
Too much at stake
mcar
(42,334 posts)He cannot publicly favor one candidate over another. It would set a bad precedent.
He is doing the right thing here.
Cha
(297,322 posts)It can't be more obvious who the President supports, but it can't be more obvious, if you know what I mean.

(92,219 posts)Yes it is good enough, because it is all he can do right now.
Just watch when he starts campaigning for her, it will be beauty in motion.

Cha
(297,322 posts)but I'm really glad that Jay said this.. whether he had Prez O's permission or not.
It's true. Why would he want someone who wanted him Primared in 2012 or endorsed Bill Press' stupid book? Or has dissed him for 7 years and on the campaign trail.
Besides he appreciates and respects Hillary. He knows what she's capable of.
Really nice to see you in Hill's Group, bravenak!
Thank you~
bravenak
(34,648 posts)In my heart I know it is not bernie. Bernie does not appreciate what he has done against obstruction. Bernie has high standards for O that he himself cannot even come close to meeting.
I like this group. I hope me posting does not bring in trolls like it seems to in AA. Thats why I stay out of groups. So as to not inflict my fans upon my friends.
Cha
(297,322 posts)As for the trolls.. let them come,, we'll block them left and right.
We welcome you!

Cha
(297,322 posts)want the President to be campaigning for them and with them..
Didn't know at that point one of them would be dissing him even more and beg himself right out of that.
Thank you, mcar.

(83,791 posts)They are over that.
If they both can forgive and forget, why do other people believe it to be a problem.
Cha
(297,322 posts)like this between the President and his SOS and former opponent?
And, future POTUS to take over his monumental job?
So unique.. I love it! Inspired me to go looking for another of those two
Oh, this I snagged from Boo... is quite nice!

(83,791 posts)I will leave the lights on!
Oooooh!
There can only be one, that is a fact. One in 2008 best President of my lifetime, he rocked my world. The other 2016 will rock this world once again. Two amazing people.l
Both, the best.

Thank you and Jay Carney!

(70,242 posts)Here is this one below--but I have had 3 locked as off topic--all involving the primary.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10141344058
This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Nye Bevan (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum). If you believe this was done in error, please contact Nye Bevan to appeal.
Cha
(297,322 posts)is it okay?
"off topic" doesn't make sense. The topic isn't Hillary?
And yet I see many primary-related OPs in LBN that do not get locked. Have you appealed to the hosts?
riversedge
(70,242 posts)I have never appealed anything. But, to me the issue in the article was about upcoming events. It did seem odd. ARE appeals woth it? just wondering.
Edit
Oh--I am thinking of another LBN article that got locked yesterday or the day before that I posted--it was about upcoming campaign events---not about Jay.
mcar
(42,334 posts)There are 30 hosts. Most were probably not involved in that lock decision. The appeal may bring the OP to other hosts attention.
Politely stating your case could help.

(10,893 posts)the right thing IMO just staying out of it up until now and not endorsing anyone. With that said, I also wouldn't blame him if he ends up endorsing HC. She has proven more to have his back during pressing times, and she undoubtedly has a stellar resume between serving as SOS and as a NY Senator.
