Related: About this forumWhile Hillary wraps herself around Obama - Top Surrogate is a well known Obama hater & PUMA
While people call Bernie supporters PUMAs - they might want to take that back since the woman who started the PUMA movement is a huge Hillary supporter & fundraiser AND has publicly insulted our President on many occasions.
Excerpts
Here Are the Wildest Anti-Obama Quotes From the Host of Hillary Clinton's First 2014 Political Event
What's intriguing is the evening's host, Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a fierce and longtime critic of Clinton's former boss, President Barack Obama. De Rothschild, a billionaire CEO who runs a private investment company, backed Clinton in the Democratic primary in 2008 but became a leading anti-Obama PUMA activist (it stands for Party Unity My Ass) after Obama vanquished Clinton. De Rothschild claimed that Obama would ruin the country and went so far as to endorse Sen. John McCain in the general election that year. "What [Obama] offers may be, in substance and in spirit, a radical departure from the principles of the American Dream that has defined our nation over the last two centuries," she wrote in an op-ed. Since then, de Rothschild has ruthlessly attacked the president, calling him a loser, claiming he's out to destroy the American dream, and arguing that his success has more to do with his race than his actions.
"[Obama] is lost," she said in a 2011 interview with Salon. "The man is a loser. The man is not listening to people who might help him. And four more years of Barack Obama will be devastating for the country." She told the website that she was more energized to defeat Obama in 2012 than she had been in 2008. "He is going to bankrupt America," she said. "He's so vain and he's so convinced of his own transcendence as a solution to everything that he's incapable of doing the right thing for the country." She also said Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo deserved the presidency more than Obama.
This article is from 2014, when Hillary first started her campaign BUT in light of the constant attacks on Dr West & the constant calling Bernie supporters "PUMAs" I thought it was appropriate to repost this.

Everyone knows Haim Saban is Hillary's principal supporter. He has donated quite generously to her campaign and the Foundation. His wife, Cheryl, spends quite a bit of her time doing Foundation work, and is an officer as well. Saban's extremely pro-Israel stances are reflected in Hillary's talking points as well. Everyone else can take a number, and stand in line behind him.

The ties that bind and the Clinton's are up to their necks in it. It's like one big giant Good Ole Boys club of elitests.
