"I wish President Obama would explain it to him. I hope that happens.. I can only imagine what he thinks of him by now."

Maybe Bernard missed it.
Obama does a good job of pointing to realities without being insulting. but folks like Bernie will find reason to be offended.
He's had zero problem bashing Obama in the past, so I just expect more after Obama endorses Hillary.

to step in personally.. lay it out for him @ the Convention or before if he has to.

burnie needs an adult to explain it to him.. and who could be better than the popular President of OUR Dem party?

Oh, yeah.. BS has done nothing but diss Obama and then try to say he hasn't.. sound burnie? Yeah you're right.

Time to capitalize on the 15 minutes of celebrity fame before the ash heap of history!

Hardback book to come - retails for $27.00. That's an historically validated price-point for guaranteed sales!

with his brainless call for a sitting President to be primaried. I can't wait for Obama to help send Bernie home.

Once he "steps in," the opposing teams (including Bernie, if he foolishly still opposes), had better become immediately "reality based." All the bluster and posturing will be wiped out.

Everything that Sanders says/does, etc. these days eludes to something sinister that Hillary has done. I fully expect to hear a rumor started that the Clinton Foundation has somehow bribed the President into giving his endorsement, although the fact that he and Hillary worked side-by-side for years during his administration might have been a clue about who President Obama would ultimately endorse.
