I am as certain the White House statement on the matter is carefully worded to coverall important rear ends as I am nothing will come out of it even if it was not.
This sounds like the Chicago Way migrating to DC. Probably without any problems, considering ObamaCare was passed with the same underhanded tactics.
Barack Obama has just used Clinton as a buffer to keep his hands clean.

Plus, Obama gets back at Clinton for dismissing his primary win in South Carolina as appealing solely to blacks. You cannot tell me that is not the cherry on top the pass the blame sundae.
