Why are the stakes so high in this election for Obama? I understand legacy and all, but the way that is worded is odd.

Clinton advisers debate whether Hillary should crack an email joke
Hillary Clinton’s advisers briefly considered having her joke about her use of a private email account for government work when she addressed the pro-choice group Emily’s List the day after the story broke.
“Greetings,” Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri wrote to a number of advisers on March 3. “I wanted to float idea of HRC making a joke about the email situation at the Emily's List dinner tonight. What do folks think about that?”
Palmieri’s deputy, Kristina Schake, replied that “it would be good for her to show some humor” and observed that the Emily’s List audience “is her crowd so the response would be great.”
But senior adviser Mandy Grunwald argued that joking about the new revelation was risky. “We don't know what's in the emails, so we are nervous about this,” she wrote, after saying she had discussed the idea with campaign strategist Jim Margolis. “Might get a big laugh tonight and regret it when content of emails is disclosed.”

Clinton camp gets State Dept. to approve email scandal tweet
Hillary Clinton’s campaign checked with the State Department before sending a tweet from the Democratic nominee’s account supporting the release of her private emails.
“This is final [and] cleared with State. HRC approved. Please send now,” longtime Clinton aide Philippe Reines wrote on March 4, two days after the New York Times revealed Clinton’s exclusive use of private email for government work.
The tweet, sent at 11:35 p.m. that night, read, “I want the public to see my email. I asked State to release them. They said they will review them for release as soon as possible.”

Mook angry with Wasserman Schultz over convention hire
Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook expressed dismay when then-Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz hired Leah Daughtry as CEO of the Democratic convention.
“I'm distressed that DWS hired a convention CEO without consulting us after Charlie and I both told them repeatedly that we expected to be consulted--and we were under the impression they would,” Mook said in a March 2015 email.
“John--you, Charlie and I may need to sit down with Debbie to make clear how we want things to change/improve before we are willing to consider playing ball with them,” Mook continues.
Daughtry has recently been tapped by the Clinton campaign to build the transition team.

Lanny Davis calls Chris Cillizza an ‘obsessive Clinton hater’
Washington Post blogger Chris Cillizza is an “obsessive Clinton hater,” according to longtime Hillary Clinton ally Lanny Davis.
In an email exchange sent from Davis to Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta on Feb. 5, 2015, Davis flagged an article by Cillizza led “Why Hillary Clinton won’t release transcripts of her paid Goldman Sachs speeches.”
“Hi John-- sorry to bother you. Re story below by obsessive Clinton hater Chris Cillizza -- re link/story below,” the email starts.
“Hope there is no debate about full and immediate release. Whatever nice words she said -- not releasing or delay, and then-- my opinion for what it's worth - release later as is inevitable, is worse. Best Lanny”
The article, published on Cillizza’s political blog “The Fix” outlined Clinton’s missed opportunities during a primary debate to directly release details about paid speeches she gave to financial firms like Goldman Sachs.
MSNBC moderator Chuck Todd asked Clinton if she planned to release full accounts of her speeches.
“Are you willing to release the transcripts of all your paid speeches? We do know through reporting that there were transcription services for all of those paid speeches. In full disclosure, would you release all of them?” Todd asked.
“I will look into it. I don't know the status, but I will certainly look into it.”
Cillizza commented that while he generally takes Clinton at her word when she describes the nature of her speeches, he went on to speculate about potentially negative content. “My guess is that in the speeches, Clinton likely acknowledges her various friends and acquaintances at Goldman Sachs (and other Wall Street firms) and praises them for the work they are doing.”

Clinton advisers try to avoid Blackberry references
As Hillary Clinton’s campaign advisers drafted remarks for her to deliver about her use of a private email account for government business, they were determined not to highlight references to her Blackberry.
In an Aug. 21, 2015, email critiquing versions of the planned speech, Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri argued that campaign manager Robby Mook’s “version is better, but still focuses on the Blackberry, which is weird and press will find su ious.”
That version included a paragraph that read, “In 2007, when I was a U.S. Senator, I got my first Blackberry. I used it to keep up with the news, with friends & family - and yes, I also got my fair share of unsolicited forwards that sometimes made me laugh and sometimes made me want to throw it away. In short, I used email like most people.”
Mook wrote back with an updated version that modified the paragraph to say, “In 2007, when I was a U.S. Senator, I got my first Blackberry. I used it to keep up with the news, with friends & family - like anyone else.”

Tanden: Can Obama even hint support?
Hillary Clinton’s 2008 policy director expressed frustration at President Barack Obama’s neutrality in the Democratic primary, asking Clinton 2016 campaign chairman John Podesta if the president could “even hint” support for his former secretary of state ahead the Illinois primary.
“Can Obama even hint of support of Hillary before Tuesday? Really, just a directional nod would be helpful,” Neera Tanden wrote to Podesta on March 12, days ahead of primaries in Illinois, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio. “Like if he just is asked a question or tweets an innuendo -- how did he vote in the primary?”
“Maybe they don't want to do this,” she wondered, “but the stakes are pretty damn high in this election for him. Though I don't know how most people are going to take these clashes between Bernie supporters and Trump's people.”

Longtime Clinton aide calls Chelsea a ‘spoiled brat’
Chelsea Clinton is a “spoiled brat” who has a “lack of focus in her life,” according to longtime Bill Clinton aide Doug Band in a 2011 email exchange posted by Wikileaks on Monday.
Band, in an exchange with John Podesta and Hillary Clinton aide Cheryl Mills over a potentially damaging story about Teneo, references “cvc” – Chelsea Clinton’s initials.
“I don't deserve this from her and deserve a tad more respect or at least a direct dialogue for me to explain these things,” he wrote. “She is acting like a spoiled brat kid who has nothing else to do but create issues to justify what she's doing because she, as she has said, hasn't found her way and has a lack of focus in her life.”

De Blasio quietly helped Clinton camp before his endorsement
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio didn’t endorse his former boss, Hillary Clinton, until October of 2015 -- a belated nod of approval after a six-month awkward walk to the finish line, where the liberal mayor tried to hold out and stay neutral, in order to burnish his own national, progressive credentials.
But new emails also show he was trying to be helpful to Clinton’s campaign behind the scenes, as early as August.
“I'm certain I'll be asked about Biden as early as tmrw,” de Blasio wrote to Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta on Aug. 23, 2015. “What could I say that would be helpful?” At the time, the vice president was still mulling his own presidential bid.
“Great guy, serious, grieve with him on the loss of his son, he has to make up his own mind whether to run, no big clamor out there for additional candidates,” Podesta replied.

Clinton ally suggests she challenge Trump to an arm wrestling match
Hillary Clinton’s 2008 policy director questioned in an email last November whether the former secretary of state was going to respond to Donald Trump’s attacks on her stamina.
“Is she going to say something about that tonight?” Neera Tanden wrote to Clinton speechwriting director Dan Schwerin the afternoon of Nov. 29. “After she endured an 800 Benghazi hearing, I find it so ridiculous that a guy who whined about a 3 hour debate is attacking her stamina.”
“It’s absurd,” Schwerin said in response. “Do you have a suggested joke?”
Tanden recommended Clinton challenge the real estate mogul to arm wrestle her or see if he could survive “11 hrs of grilling from Dems like she did from reps.”
“Humor isn’t my forte,” she later conceded.

Podesta tried to woo O'Malley into endorsing Clinton in February
Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta appears to have reached out to Martin O’Malley on Feb. 23, a few weeks after he ended his short-lived presidential bid, seeking an endorsement.
“You in any mood to talk to me?” Podesta emailed the former Maryland governor, according to new messages published by Wikileaks Monday morning, the second batch of emails that had been hacked from Podesta’s personal email account.
The Clinton campaign has not confirmed nor denied the veracity of the emails.
“Want to know how you are doing and interested to get your observations and advice,” Podesta wrote to the one-time Hillary Clinton rival. “We would, of course, love to get your support.”
But O’Malley didn’t immediately offer it up.
“Thanks for reaching out. I'm good. No money, but no real debt,” he responded. “Good to be home again actually. I'm now looking for work.” He noted that “HRC kindly called me a while back, very nice of her.”
And he offered some observations from his time on the trail. “When you think your country no longer works for you and your family, voting becomes solely an act of protest. Most Americans feel their own politicians have rigged the economic opportunity game against them. But you know all of that," O'Malley said.
O’Malley did not endorse Clinton until June.

Bill Clinton chief of staff: ‘He’s losing it badly'
The weeks leading up to the New Hampshire primary last February were some of the most stressful in Hillary Clinton’s campaign — Bill Clinton was apoplectic about the prospect of losing the state that once crowned him “The Comeback Kid” to Bernie Sanders, and was desperate to try and help win it back for his wife.
Hillary Clinton's top campaign staff were huddled, trying to figure out a new way to save a campaign that was slowly losing al ude. Bill Clinton, sources have told POLITICO, was frustrated that the campaign had not attacked Sanders hard enough in the weeks leading up to the Iowa caucuses. Now, new emails from the second batch of John Podesta’s hacked personal email accounts, posted to Wikileaks on Monday morning, point to how much Sanders' surge was riling up the former president.
“He's losing it bad today,” Bill Clinton’s chief of staff Tina Flournoy wrote to Podesta, Clinton’s campaign chairman, on Feb. 7, two days before the primary where Sanders ultimately walloped Hillary Clinton by 20 points. “I'm not with him. If you're in NH please see if you can talk to him.”
Flournoy's email coincided with Bill Clinton opening up a new, aggressive line of attack on Sanders at a rally in Milford.
“When you’re making a revolution, you can’t be too careful with the facts,” he told the crowd of just under 300 who came to hear him speak that Sunday afternoon. “I want you to laugh, because when you’re mad you can’t think.”

Gabbard gets punished for backing Sanders
Podesta dump part 2

Honestly this is some dull nickel and dime being produced so far. It's nothing game changing.
I would have to agree. Although they are certainly illating there aren't any knockout blows there so far.
Hammed dropped! From: Darnell Strom Sent: Monday, February 29, 2016 3:13 PM To: Tulsi Gabbard ([email protected]<mailto[email protected]>) Cc: Michael Kives Subject: Disappointed Representative Gabbard, We were very disappointed to hear that you would resign your position with the DNC so you could endorse Bernie Sanders, a man who has never been a Democrat before. When we met over dinner a couple of years ago I was so impressed by your intellect, your passion, and commitment to getting things done on behalf of the American people. For you to endorse a man who has spent almost 40 years in public office with very few accomplishments, doesn't fall in line with what we previously thought of you. Hillary Clinton will be our party's nominee and you standing on ceremony to support the sinking Bernie Sanders ship is disrespectful to Hillary Clinton. A woman who has spent the vast majority of her life in public service and working on behalf of women, families, and the underserved. You have called both myself and Michael Kives before about helping your campaign raise money, we no longer trust your judgement so will not be raising money for your campaign.

uhhh ducks...Why should we care what Darnell Strom said? He might be a Democratic bundler but he's not part of the campaign.
Wasserman is already out. The ducks desperation meltdown is kinda funny though.
I guarantee you everyone here read this very diligently.
Your standards are .
ducks being your standard bearer. Haha
You lost an ELE bet. Kill your account.Your standards are .
ducks being your standard bearer. Haha
I did?
Have there been emails implicating Hillary directly? If so then what?
And explain why this isn't huge news.
You are realizing nothing's coming. Your days are numbered here.
The plane hasn't even taxied to the terminal and TSA is firing up his phone to post about Hillary on ST
But would he like to "grab her pussy" nonetheless?
Sometimes it's the challenge.
You said Assange had nothing more on Hillary. The Wall St speeches are just that.
I did?

Don't be a little got about. Kill your account.
Been at DFW for an hour. Hate baseball and the food at Fridays sucked. Is being on spurstalk really worthy of an lol?The plane hasn't even taxied to the terminal and TSA is firing up his phone to post about Hillary on ST
It was amusing because you said you were out for the week, then proceeded to post several hours later...in any event You better hope that albino bas has more than these boring Podesta emails.
Easily amused I guess.
I imagined you landing and frantically firing up your phone to check and see if any Hillary bombs s had dropped while you were in the air
Was your first stop ST or AR15.com?
You're such a laughingstock..
First of all. The "leaked" transcripts weren't even that. They were passages as told through other people sent TO OTHER people.
The passages were contained in an internal review of Mrs. Clinton’s paid speeches undertaken by her campaign, which was identifying potential land mines should the speeches become public.http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/08/us...eaks.html?_r=0Mrs. Clinton’s campaign would not confirm the authenticity of the do ents. They were released on Friday night by WikiLeaks, the hacker collective founded by the activist Julian Assange, saying that they had come from the email account of John D. Podesta, Mrs. Clinton’s campaign chairman.
What about that sounds to you like it's coming directly from Hillary?
How about you show me facts that aren't hear say or second hand infomation bull like this, moron?
