Bernie's theory must be that a primary challenge from the left might fool a few folks into believing 0bama could be even more of a commie than he is.

"There are a lot of smart honest, progressive people who I think can be good presidents," he said.

Really? Name ONE.

“Progressive”: canceling the Shuttle Program and offering the Chevy Volt..

Bernie sanders is an avowed socialist. He admits it. No mention of this fact in any of the articles I’ve read. He is not an independent.

[BobL]

I suspect that Sanders is simply trying to make Obama seem ‘moderate’ so that he can snow-over the Republicans again.

[mnehring]

More shades of LBJ when the party leadership told him in no uncertain terms he wasn’t going to win so don’t even try to run again.

A primary challenger for Obama? I nominate Mitt Romney.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

"from two different planets."

Bernie Sanders is from Bizarro World, so that is something like another universe.

[Mariner]

Actually, even a short trip to the fetid pool known as DU will tell you that the Progressive Left is furious with Obama for "selling out".

For them any cut to the "big three" (SS, Medicare, Medicaid) is a treasonous act worthy of trial and execution.

It would be wonderful if Vermont and Massachusetts would secede and become their own little Commie country. I can dream, can’t I?

Go with Dennis Kucinich - he’s always good for a laugh.

Bernie’s preferred candidate, Karl Marx, is dead however

[Iron Munro]

Too bad Che is dead -

If he was alive he could mount a challenge from Barack’s right.

[jocon307]

Some folks thought Russ Feingold might do this.

There has to be a Kennedy around who's not in rehab to spoil the primary for Jimmy Carter 2.0 just as Fat Ted did for Jimmy Carter 1.0.

Why yes, yes oblabla is definitely drifting more into the Right and the Republican camp each and every day. Bernie needs to be listened to and well considered to. There have to be better and more progressive candidates that the demorats can nominate than oblabla.

I think Bernie has one heck of an idea and that finding someone much more to the Left of oblabla is a sure fire way to win the election and promote a progressive agenda.

sarcasm way off

I knew that this was coming, riding in on a broomstick!

I will say this, Boehner has said it in a Number of His speeches that he and the President are from two different Planets,they have two separate ideologies,THEY are NOT compatible,Period end of Story.
Now I dont know if he Realizes it but that is the Theme that the 2012 election should be about . There is No and never has been this Crap called Bipartisanship,its a Fraud just a Game for those in Washington to Pit US THE Americaan People against each other. So we have to find out if there still is a Majority that still have a Desire for Freedom and Individual Liberty,the Election SHOULD be Framed with that in Mind and YES you DO Question Peoples Patriotism. If we Dont, That will be Redefined and Disappear with all the Common Sense and SHAME which has Gone from the Planet Earth
