Don't waste your time.

But if you weren't sure by his comments to Glenn Thrush a couple of weeks ago, then this should confirm that Obama is supporting Hillary.  He can't endorse yet - that would be patently unfair at this stage.  But this should leave no doubt:

"Trying to find common ground [with Republicans] doesn't make me less of a Democrat or less of a progressive," Obama told an audience in Springfield, Illinois. "It means I'm trying to get stuff done.

He said that labels, such as "not a real progressive" -- which Sanders has used against Clinton -- are damaging to the national discourse.

"So when I hear voices in either party boast of their refusal to compromise as an accomplishment in and of itself, I'm not impressed," Obama said. "All that does is prevent what most Americans would consider actual accomplishments, like fixing roads, educating kids, passing budgets, cleaning our environment, making our streets safe."

Obama added, "It cuts both ways, guys."

The president went on to warn against the dangers of "union bashing, or corporate bashing, without acknowledging that both workers and businesses make our economy run."

He still believes, Obama said, in the "kind of politics sustained over the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime." In the Democratic race, that's Clinton to a tee.

I actually can speak unemotionally on the issues, you cannot.

TAPPER: What do you tell voters who are new to the process who say this makes them feel like it's all rigged?

WASSERMAN-SCHULTZ: Let me just make sure I can clarify what was available during the primaries in Iowa and New Hampshire. The unpledged delegates are a separate category. The only thing available on the ballot in a primary and a caucus is the pledged delegates, those that are tied to the candidate that they are pledged to support and they receive a proportional number of delegates going into our convention.

Unpledged delegates exist, really, to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don't have to be in a position where they are running against grassroots activists. We are, as a Democratic Party, really highlight and emphasize inclusiveness and diversity at our convention and we want to give every opportunity to grassroots activists and diverse committed Democrats to be able to participate, attend and be a delegate at the convention and so we separate out those unpledged delegates to make sure that there isn't competition between them.

"I saw a young woman on MSNBC talking about how Hillary's feminism was not her feminism.  Oh honey. If you only knew. When my mother was your age, she wasn't allowed to vote. When I was your age, journalists wouldn't have even bothered to ask for my opinion. They would have wanted my husband's instead. Your opinion actually made news around the world. That's just remarkable.  Trust me when I tell you that my mother's feminism became mine.  And mine became Hillary's which most definitely became yours. Feminism isn't a vote. It's a birthright."

"Women of my generation fought hard so that women of your generation could actually grow up believing anything was possible.

"Listen, I'm so old I might crack in half tomorrow. It takes a lot of Ben-Gay for me to feel the burn. I am still fighting for the right for women to control our own bodies and sadly I have yet to see a woman be elected President.  Are you sure you can wait? Forgive me in advance if I am offending you, but I didn't put on my big girl panties for over 60 years fighting for this day just to have you ignore its importance. You don't have to vote for Hillary but you have to at least recognize how significant this all is.

"People like Hillary Clinton helped to create a world where young women today can actually believe it will happen soon enough if it doesn't have to happen this time. Fair enough.  But please remember that my generation grew up in a world where that possibility was far from sure.

"If it is a revolution you want, I can sympathize. I been fighting a revolution too. I just thought you should know that while a revolution might start in your lifetime, it  doesn't necessarily end before you die. I am ready for my revolution -- no OUR revolution to come to an end if for no other reason than opening the way for yours to begin. I expect greatness from the women of your generation even if I won't be around to experience it.

"Personally, I don't think the Democratic Party running so far to the left is helpful when the Republican Party has gone so far to the right. I might be wrong but I fear Bernie's revolution won't even make it to the White House much less through Congress. But if you insist on Sanders and he gets the nomination, I will join you in your revolution. And if Hillary gets the nomination, and I believe she will, I hope you will join me in finishing mine. You might be surprised, however, that Hillary could very well be the one you were looking for all along. She's been fighting for the underdog all of her career."

Worth a read, if only because it offers some personal perspective from older women to counterbalance the public statements made by those younger women whose own views have yet to be tempered by a lifetime of experience.

But Bernie has gotten off to a stupid start with remarks about Obama's leadership.

I was responding to a poster who was lamenting that just at a time she began receiving SS benefits, all sorts of crap was happening financially.

Frozen COLA is one, and, potential negative rates was another.
