Obama’s Team Boosting Bernie Sanders

Obama political strategist David Axelrod, whom LPAC’s sources confirm is still very much a member of the Obama inner circle, despite no longer having a White House office, pumped Bernie Sanders on the eve of the first Democratic Party debate as “utterly authentic,” as opposed to Hillary Clinton, whom he labelled as on “super probation … when it comes to inauthenticity.”

Axelrod’s public talk matches reports given to LPAC that Sanders does have a “window” with Obama’s White House.

Axelrod had also puffed Sanders a month earlier, then as “thoroughly authentic,” in a Sept. 18 speech in Chicago in which he identified “authenticity” as the quality which was key to the success of president George Bush and Barack Obama. Axelrod of course fails to admit that Bush and Obama are two of the United States’s most authentically British Crown-owned candidates, whose combined terms have brought the U.S. to the brink of destruction.

Sanders’s fundraising success is being hailed by Axelrod as “stunning,” and of far better quality than Hillary’s contributions when the third quarter’s results were reported. Axelrod, like top Al Gore 2000 strategist Ted Devine, who is now advising Sanders, assert that Sanders’s fundraising has secured his place as a major factor in the Democratic presidential race.

Neither Axelrod nor Devine mention, however, that Sanders’s online fundraising apparatus was seconded to him by Obama’s White House. Yahoo Politics picked up on this story, too, in an Oct. 7 piece (“How a Team of Obama Veterans Helped Bernie Sanders Pull in a Record Number of Donations”) reporting on the “small guerilla-marketing team” now running Sanders’s online fundraising operation, headed by Scott Goodstein and Arun Chaudhary, who ran Obama’s 2008 online fundraising operation.
