Hillary was right to call out Sanders.

SANDERS: Brian, believe me, I wish I had the answer to your question. Let me just suggest this. I think there are millions of Americans who are deeply disappointed in the president; who believe that, with regard to Social Security and a number of other issues, he said one thing as a candidate and is doing something very much else as a president; who cannot believe how weak he has been, for whatever reason, in negotiating with Republicans and there’s deep disappointment. So my suggestion is, I think one of the reasons the president has been able to move so far to the right is that there is no primary opposition to him and I think it would do this country a good deal of service if people started thinking about candidates out there to begin contrasting what is a progressive agenda as opposed to what Obama is doing. […] So I would say to Ryan [sic] discouragement is not an option. I think it would be a good idea if President Obama faced some primary opposition.



I know some think it is a in to criticize Sanders on DU but he was wrong. Good for Hillary.

1. Thanks for posting this information, I have bookmarded, will be able to refer to

the information quickly.

2. Sanders did try to primary President Obama

3. Hopefully it gets the proper amount of exposure before the primaries.

More folks need to know more about who was fully committed to Obama's re-election, and who was not.

7. Oh I hope so. At least we are not talking of Hillary's bathroom break today!!

5. BS was also, Wrong. Millions weren't "disappointed" in President Obama.. Millions

wanted him to be President again.

Too bad berni

6. K&R!

8. She was right

9. Bernie most certainly would have supported the primary challenger, had

there been one. In the debate he shrugs and acted as if he had Obama's back 100%. So unlike the Bernie I thought I knew.

10. I love it that he has to act like he never worked against President Obama..

11. He slyly chuckled to himself as if to say, "who me?"

Tsk, tsk. Could this be the Bernie we thought we knew?

12. He has to act like he wasn't that guy. President Obama out there working hard against

the repubs.. and for our country.. and there's berni tearing him down every week on whatever station he was on.

Disgusting.. but now he can't be proud and own it. Funny how times have changed.. and all because President Obama is so popular.

Hillary is a realist and appreciates what it takes to go through incremental change.. it doesn't happen magically as she well knows.
