Bernie hurt himself in the debate.

It's important to remember that Sanders is not a Democrat and is only running in the Democratic primary as a convenience. He would had to build a database from scratch running as an independent. He can't stand Obama and has made that clear a long time ago.

Lol ok "Clinton 2016".

Uh, by your logic your post is equally as irrelevant based on your giant Sanders signature

I think the issue has been "spun" by Clinton. As Sanders pointed out Clinton ran against Obama in 2008.

I thought about this, but while it makes for a nice sound bite, it's not a good comeback logic-wise. A great deal of Democrats didn't support Obama at first, including African Americans. They did after they got to know him and more so after seeing his presidency in action. Likewise, Clinton didn't know him or what his presidency would be like until after. And surely she knows as she went to work with her primary rival.

So the difference here is Sanders is, you could say, "running against Obama" after 8 years of him in office. It's completely different.

However, I do have to say I still think a primary candidate should be able to offer some criticism of their party's sitting president if it is warranted.

I think that was an irrelevant point since Clinton was in that race before Obama. It's not like she set out to oppose him.

Knows enough not to be one of the gutless idiots that supported the immoral, profoundly wasteful and counterproductive War in Iraq

I was against the War in Iraq too, but that doesn't qualify me to be President. Lots of people opposed it, but it doesn't qualify them to be President.
