This comes not from the Onion but from “Think Progress” (a euphemism, we’re sure.)
Bernie Sanders, the only officially declared socialist in Congress, thinks President Obama veers too far to the right and he’s not talking about the latter’s putting. He can’t be joking, there’s no such thing as socialist humor.
Sanders: “… 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 …in negotiating with Republicans and there’s deep disappointment. …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. …I think it would be a good idea if President Obama faced some primary opposition.”
True, millions are unhappy with President Obama, but not because he’s not bankrupting them fast enough as ol’ Bernie believes. No matter, as a famous Chicagoland thug once said, “Never waste a good crisis.”
So you go, Bernie, primary Obama. Make him turn left so much he spins like a top and drills himself another hole to dig out of.
