Obama endorses dozens of Dems, snubs Ocasio-Cortez

Former President Barack Obama on Wednesday endorsed dozens of Democrats in races across the country, flexing his political muscle in the midterms and vowing to hit the stump for some of them before November.
Notably, the former president did not endorse liberal darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in her New York House race. The 'democratic socialist' has teamed up on the campaign trail with Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., but her high profile after defeating House Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley in the primary has raised concerns in some corners of the party.
In New York, Obama endorsed two candidates—House hopeful Antonio Delgado and Anna Kaplan for a state Senate seat.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm......... Barack Obama did not endorse Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

He's much more of a corrupocrat than a Socialist. He's only Socialist enough to want to buy votes with public programs.
In fact when you consider his Illinois background, political manipulation of voters is really about all he did actually understand, which is why we had eight years of shitty-to-meh economic and international results - those fields just weren't part of his basic competency or even interest. Fortunately, even at that, his calculations were a tad off in 2016.

Obama has a history of doing spiteful things...like denying Texas and Kentucky FEMA money after natural disasters because they were red states that didn't go for him in the election...I think this is the case with Ocasio.
She's in the orbit of Comrade Sanders AND IIRC defeated someone who was a big Obama supporter in Congress.
It's the only reason I can think of that he'd snub someone who on paper and from the way she talks is exactly the kind of Young Communist that barry would want more of in office.

National Socialists... now where have I heard that before?

Not exactly sure how I read this. Obviously, Obama is no political dummy, he's as devious as Stalin and Hitler, for instance. But to be blunt, Alexandria ¡Ocasio!-Cortez has already won the Democrat primary in a district that runs 80% Democrat, at least, not including the votes of illegals and dead people. In that case, there is no reason to endorse her as she can essentially do nothing but fly around the country and stump with other commie-pinkos (which, pragmatically, is her ONLY worth; politically, she's a typical leftist lightweight).
Obviously, Obama knows that being overtly socialist is a death wish. Remember "If you like ___ you can keep ___" and "The 80's are calling your Russian conspiracy theories back" were necessary lies to fool the fencesitters. Had Obama been truthful about Obamacare's disastrous results it wouldn't have even passed all the Democrats in the Senate, let alone Republicans who fell for the ruse. So I'm guessing Obama is not too thrilled at some socialist seniorita yahoos in the party throwing out the early tells on the actual Democrat objective, which is to ultimately kill/execute all conservatives. Pure and simple.
