In reply to the discussion: Sanders is critical of Obama and not a peep. Someone critical of Sanders, though? [View all]Drunken Irishman
(34,857 posts)Hell, there's a thread right now saying if Sanders can't lecture the President - no one can. In the middle of other threads slamming Lewis for speaking his mind and lecturing Sanders.
Well if we can't lecture Sanders, none of us can speak up.
Bernie gets a pass from the left that then turns around and vilifies Obama for things we'd vilify Obama for if he did it.
In this thread already, in a post supporting Bernie, they mention how Obama failed at every turn - including closing down Gitmo.
Uh, well, it stayed open because of guys like Bernie - who voted AGAINST the President's plan to close it.
With that said, Obama isn't running for reelection. He shouldn't be Bernie's opponent. If Bernie feels his best path to the nomination is attacking the most popular Democrat in the country, well, good luck.
