WASHINGTON – US Senator Bernie Sanders had a rare Oval Office meeting on Wednesday with President Barack Obama, days after Mr Obama praised Hillary Clinton, Mr Sanders’s rival and front-runner in the race to be the Democratic presidential candidate in the November 8 election.

“Perhaps more than other contests, the Iowa caucuses are all about turnout”, Brown said. “People can’t wait”, Bill Clinton thundered on health care policy.
The doctor’s note was slightly less detailed than the note the Clinton campaign released last summer.
Clinton’s pitch in the town of Adel came as a new poll showed Sanders leading Clinton by four percentage points among likely Democrat participants in Monday’s much-anticipated Iowa caucuses.
Cilnton leads Sanders among “somewhat liberal” voters, women and voters over age 45, while Sanders leads among “very liberal” voters, men and voters under the age of 44.
In response to a reporter’s question, Mr. Sanders said with a smile that the president didn’t give him any advice for beating Mrs. Clinton.
The long-discussed meeting between Obama and his sometime critic was a moment for the president to display his public neutrality in the heated primary race to replace him – rebutting suggestions that he’s in the tank for Clinton.
SANDERS: Well, count me in as one person – you know, if Secretary Clinton and Governor O’Malley want to do it, I’m there.
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is in “very good health”, according to a letter released Thursday by the attending physician in Congress.
For now, Clinton’s southern “firewall” appears to be easily holding in SC, where she beats Sanders 64% to 27%, with strong backing from African-American voters.
As if we needed yet another demonstration that Democrats think “I take responsibility” means I shouldn’t be held accountable for anything, and you need to quit bugging me about it.
The president on Friday called Clinton “wicked smart” and said she is experienced, tough, progressive, idealistic and familiar with a range of domestic and global issues. “Hillary Clinton did what I called a 40-thousand foot bombing run over Iowa”.
“A lot of folks have tried to take me out before, and I’m still standing”, she said. “If we have the kind of turnout that I hope we can”, Sanders told the rally, “then we’re going to win here in Iowa”.
For different reasons, voters of both Left and Right don’t trust the government she served in, either. It helped trigger “the financial meltdown” and put millions of people out of their jobs and homes, the ad says, according to a copy posted by the New York Times and confirmed by the campaign.
On the other side of the aisle, Trump remains the dominant frontrunner in New Hampshire, getting 31 percent support compared to 12 percent for Cruz, a margin largely unchanged from polling earlier this month.

Sanders said at the breakfast that while he won’t make negative attacks on Clinton, his criticisms are providing “contrast”.
