And this was Obama's cheif of staff...
If it was Hillary's chief of staff you can bet people would use this to further castigate her but Obama largely gets a pass because he's 'likable' or something like that.
It's become startlingly clear in retrospect that Obama ran the American center-left into the ground.
As much as it was anything Obama did, the absolute refusal by liberals to question him or his actions did not help. Sometimes you need to police your own. As a caveat, I will freely admit that Republicans routinely fail in this regard as well.
The primary last year showed that Democrats with power aren't much into questioning the establishment.
