Obama could publicly rebuke Sanders as the senator’s momentum grows
FOX Business' Charlie Gasparino reports former President Barack Obama is growing 'uncomfortable' with Sen. Bernie Sanders' growing popularity in the Democratic presidential race. Former President Barack Obama has remained mostly silent through the early stages of the Democratic race to unseat Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election but that may soon change, friends and associates tell FOX Business, as avowed socialist Bernie Sanders gains in national polls and seems poised to obtain front-runner status.
The people who spoke on the condition of anonymity say Obama's preference had always been to lay low through the primaries aside from making some broad comments as he did in November of last year when, according to a report in The New York Times, the former two-term president, best known for expanding the size of government and his eponymous health care mandate, appeared genuinely worried about some of the increasingly leftist proposals being touted on the campaign trail from Sanders, the US senator from Vermont, and to some extent, Elizabeth Warren, the US senator from Massachusetts.
"The average American doesn't think we have to completely tear down the system to remake it," the Times quoted Obama, who was speaking at a gathering of Democratic donors.

First time I’ve ever agreed with the Kenyan.
Same d@mn, tattered Dem playbook.
SSDD.
Even Hussein knows that nominating a full blown communist is going to cost the Commies the election. What percentage of this country wants to go full commie, 20 percent, 30 percent..the rest dont, the rest dont want to end up in gulags
Would be a nuke detonated in the belly of the Democrat party cleaving it right down the middle.
Valerie finally gave Hussein instructions.
Will he endorse Gropey Joe, dementia and all?
“He might say so”.
I believe he just did, after a fashion.

Obama knows how stupid his base is.
Well, duh, 0bunghole. How does that make him different from the rest of the Dems running?
Or you, for that matter!
Well, this could get good.
More likely VJ and Holder told him this.
Obama is to dumb to figure it out himself.
their convention center will be under siege for days.
Much more violence than Chicago 1968
You think Bernie cares?
I can’t wait for Obama to slam Sanders.
I know several dipshit middle-aged leftist women who think Obama walked on water, and that Sanders is the next best choice.
it will be fun to see their cognitive dissonance.
Getting interesting, it’s no secret Obongo doesn’t think Slo Joe can get it done either.
He obviously isn’t backing Slo Joe, not Crazy Bern, is he waiting to throw Big Mike’s jock in the ring?
I'm no Bernie fan by a long shot, but it just doesn't sit right watching the demoncRats line up to deep six him again.
Rip the guy as we do, he has a sizable following on that side of the isle.
I agree with your assessment, I just mean physically Bernie might not make it.
It would be good for our side if they screw him over.
