Obama Sets Up a Clever Misdirection

In the US Senate today, Bernie Sanders, the Vermont Senator, spent 8 hours lecturing the American public on the evil of the political deal between Obama and the Republicans that extends the 30 years of bi-partisan evil that has gutted the US economy and enriched the top 1% beyond their wildest dreams. That should have been a headliner in the news. But Obama got wind of it and decided to "upstage" the Sanders news event by pulling a stunt by having an "impromptu news conference" at which he left previous president Clinton to entertain reporters for half an hour. Of course that led the news. Not the thirty year destruction of the American middle class. Sad.

Watch the following to see what was not covered by the conventional "news" tonight:
