MCCASKILL 02/11/16 12:02 PM EST Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Bernie Sanders questioned President Barack Obama’s leadership in a new interview, suggesting that he would be able to close a divide between Americans and government that the Obama administration has left open throughout his presidency.

“There’s a huge gap right now between Congress and the American people,” Sanders said in an interview with MSNBC that will air Thursday on “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell.” “What presidential leadership is about [is] closing that gap.”

Sanders acknowledged that Obama has tried to bridge the divide but said he hasn’t succeeded. “But I think what we need, when I talk about a political revolution, is bringing millions and millions of people into the political process in a way that does not exist right now,” he said.

Welcome to the party, pal!

Don't get too comfortable, Bernie. The same folks that question Barak's leadership don't think too highly of you, either!

Yep.
He hasn’t given away nearly enough.
He hasn’t raised the deficit nearly enough.
He hasn’t taxed working people nearly enough.
He hasn’t crippled our military nearly enough.
He hasn’t planted enough money trees.

Sanders acknowledged that Obama has tried to bridge the divide....

No he hasn't.

While he won't admit it, 0 is just as socialist as Sanders, but more arrogant

From Bernie’s perspective he should.

With all of the vaunted Barry Worship that escorted him into office, we should be working on Five Year Plan #2 if Obama were in any way competent.

He should ask why Bama’s justice system does not apply to Hillary.

Good pic; a week ago Sanders and Hillary were arguing about which loved Obama more, now Sanders probably realizes that he needs more supporters - and sucking up to Obama didn’t help.
