Wow!! Beautifully worded Mr. President. Glad to see some Democrats are still brave enough to stand up to these left-wing thugs trying to hijack the party.

Great interview. I think Bernie made some good points in his campaign (campaign finance reform and income inequality must be addressed), but he’s right that we need a pragmatic leader, who focusses on all important issues and knows how to deal with congress and other countries.

President Obama is a wise man

"Obama didn’t utter an unkind word about Sanders, who has been respectfully critical of his administration’s reluctance to prosecute Wall Street executives and his decision to abandon a single-payer health care system as politically impractical. But he was kinder to Clinton."

I wouldn't exactly call that a slam/endorsement.

Its easy to campaign for all sorts of unrealistic goals when you don't actually have to govern.  Being in office where your decisions actually matter (in other words, NOT in congress) leads to pragmatism.

Its why Republican governors are slowly accepting the medicaid expansion, while Republican congressmen are still in rage mode.
