Bernie Sanders On Obama’s Biggest Mistake



"Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont whose policies are left of mainstream liberals, told David Axelrod that Obama made a "mistake" by expecting he could easily charm the other party into negotiating with him. “He thought he could walk into Capitol Hill and the Oval Office and sit down with John Boehner and Mitch McConnell and the Republicans and say, ‘I can’t get it all. You can’t get it all. Let’s work out something that’s reasonable,’ because he’s a reasonable guy. He’s a pretty rational guy,” Sanders said on the debut episode of “The Axe Files with David Axelrod” podcast. “These guys never had any intention of doing [serious] negotiating and compromising,” Sanders added, according to a Politico report. “I think it took the president too long to fully appreciate that.””* Read more here: http://www.rawstory.com/2015/09/bernie-sanders-it-took-obama-too-long-to-fully-appreciate-how-much-republicans-hated-him/ John Iadarola (Think Tank), Ben Mankiewicz (Turner Classic Movies), and Elliot Hill (The Lip TV), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down.

  1. actually..i do wish bernie did win the dem nom n beat trump..w the reps still dominating congress just to prove my point that sayin shit n pointing mistakes in hind sight is easier than actually making things happen..
    just to hear what u guys at tyt think of him afterwards...aftet the congress shuts down da govt again on his face.
    n seee how u like him then...
  2. If Bernie Sanders walks into congress with his agenda, the Republicans will vote down every word you have...
  3. This country will never elect a democratic socialist
  4. Occupy’ is nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists, an unruly mob, fed by Woodstock-era nostalgia and putrid false self-righteousness, one thing I do notice about radical leftists is their utter inability to self reflect. They simply are incapable of seeing themselves as others see them. These clowns can do nothing but harm America.
  5. Beyond college aged kids voting for Sanders and his socialist dream machine. Idiots
  6. President Barack Obama,
    Sorry to hear that you are endorsing Hillary Clinton for the position of President-- this will undoubtedly go down in history as the biggest error in judgment of your entire presidency!
    Barack, "F@%#  'the Party'", is what I say! How 'bout doing what's best for our country and the entire WORLD?!
    There's still time to get behind the vast majority of the American PEOPLE and, stand up for REAL Change (you can believe in)! 
    Please, change your endorsement and give it to Bernie Sanders! No one trusts Hillary! Just look at her "do-nothing" record as your Sec't of State. She's an embarrassment and a liability as her ONLY agenda is a personal one AND she has committed indictable offenses while in an important position on your Cabinet. 
    I am ALL for a woman President -- just NOT that woman!
    Respectfully yours,
  7. The same can now be said of Bernie Sanders. The GOP has been allowed to design a system whereby no matter how many people you have speaking up they will be ignored by the political process. The same process Mr. Sanders help create with his work on the 2016 Signed budget he worked with the GOP to draft into law. First groups affected by Mr. Sanders' Democratic leadership role in budget efforts was thousands of Children off supplemental benefits & Seniors who are married as well as still hurting after 2008 depression to loss benefits. Great Ideas Mr. Sanders but reality is the truth.
  8. I don't blame Obama too much.. He didn't have the experience for the job.

    We gave the biggest executive job in the country to someone who has never been an executive before.

    He had not even served a whole term in Washington, and was inexperienced in Washington politics.

    He had no experience in foreign relations and diplomacy.

    His term has been on the job training, so what can you expect?
  9. I think it is how you present it. Obama when he was campaigning was rallying us to be active, but when he became president, I was taken back by how much he became like any other politician, especially with healthcare. He just seemed beaten real quick, and people go back to not caring.

    Sanders will say what he believes even if no one is there. You can't help but rally with him and stand with him because he is David vs. Goliath. He is the underdog, just like many people feel like. He is at least trying.
  10. Well I'm supporting Trump...Not really, I have a brain.
  11. If the 99% vote in all elections the 1% doesn't stand a chance. Vote if you're 99%.
  12. wow TYT do ever stop sucking bernie sanders d*ck?
  13. Bernie Sanders is not a nice man. And The Daily Beast, The New York Daily News, AND The Washington Post FINALLY started vetting him -- proving that Bernie does NOT know what the HECK he's talking about concerning his OWN proposals! After all these Several MONTHS,  he finally took Hillary's advice and JUST recently actually Did his HOMEWORK and could answer questions about his OWN proposal.  Vote for brilliant, hardworking, compassionate, persistent, Pragmatic Hillary R. Clinton for President!
  14. As far as republican obstructionism goes, it seems to have been an excellent tool for the American people to come up empty. Obama blames congress and they blame him. Seems a convenient excuse for government to continue its oppression of the people while catering to the rich and powerful, yet neither are to blame. They couldn't have planned it more perfectly. Obama sugar coats our hopes and dreams while claiming his hands are tied due to nothing short of congressional racism. What a perfect fairytale. And we the people pay for it.
  15. All great changes, in society, and there have been many, were the result of the people rallying for them. Think Vietnam. Think civil rights. Think women's vote.
  16. EVERYONE WHO LOVES BERNIE thats cool and stuff its hip, you know whats hip VOTING FOR BERNIE GO REGISTER AND VOTE everyone from 17-90
  17. :) Basically what Bernie Sanders it's saying is that it's not enough for his supporters to vote him, and then just wait for the changes to happen, the people has to become actively that change. If other countries would have such a leader, there wouldn't be inequality in the world.
  18. Thumbs up OR DOWN if you sincerely think Trump would be the ruination of the United States of America!
  19. 2 words that would solve the voter disenfranchisement in the US. It would also stop Republican State Governors from trying to put road blocks to make it difficult for people to vote:

    1. Compulsory

    2. Voting
  20. It's clear that the GOP has become radicalized. And Obama is still trying to compromise with them, and he's misread them. Bernie is the only choice to get us out of the mess we're in.
