Wrote: The ad that shows Obama supporting Sanders was a cut from clips in which Obama spoke with Bernie requesting he drop out of the 2016 election to support Hillary.  Obama walked into the White House with Bernie (shown on the ad) and then Obama said some kind word about Bernie when Bernie pulled out of the Dem Primary Race in 2016.  Pretty deceptive to use those clips in a 2020 campaign.

Ok.  That makes sense.  Like I said, I may not have paid attention during the full ads.

It all started with a Bloomberg ad where Obama was endorsing Bloomberg for mayor and the Bloomberg people cut it to where it looked like Obama was endorsing Bloomberg for President.  I thought it was kind of funny.  And creative.  But a bit deceptive.  Then other candidates started doing it since there is no shortage of Obama endorsing them in prior races for Senate or whatever.  

Interesting that Sanders likes to talk about how it's him vs the establishment, but then makes a commercial where the ultimate establishment person, Obama, seems to be endorsing him.
