Another day, another excuse. With the collapse of the NYT vetted this story which disproved Tara Reade's allegations....

I remember reading those headlines at the time, thinking, if he steps in to stop Bernie publicly, it will destroy his legacy. And if there is one thing Obama cares about, it's his legacy.
