One former Hillary Clinton worker complained, "Yeah, they believe in premature ejection of other candidates. But this is their m.o., like when he delivered his Berlin speech at the Brandenburg Gate, which had previously been used by actual presidents such as John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan. And then there was the campaign's reinvention of the presidential seal, which Obama sat behind during a meeting with Democratic governors."
