Bernie Sanders: Let’s primary Obama

Hot Air quotes socialist Senator Bernie Sanders:
So my suggestion is, 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. [...] So I would say to Ryan [sic] discouragement is not an option. I think it would be a good idea if President Obama faced some primary opposition.
Here's a video of happier times from then Senator Barack Obama showing his commitment to socialism and his warm endorsement of socialist Bernie Sanders for U.S. Senate. Just a reminder, Obama didn't endorse the slated Democrat party candidate for the Rhode Island U.S. Senate seat.
