"Bernie is somebody who has the virtue of saying exactly what he believes. Great authenticity, great passion, and is fearless." – President Barack Obama

[squirecam]

1. Ok.

But the majority of voters don’t want what he is selling.

[George II]

2. First reactions on CNN and MSNBC regarding that ad is that he's falsely "using" Obama.

[oldsoftie]

6. Same with that early Bloomberg ad using Obama quotes in his voice.

Its disingenuous.

[relayerbob]

15. That's very charitable

[seaglass]

16. He used a JFK clip in his MA ad. So authentic.

[George II]

19. The same JFK that he said made him "physically nauseated"!

[seaglass]

23. Yeah, that one. n/t

[Cha]

42. Didn't work

[DanTex]

18. No way! The media is bashing Bernie? That never happens!!

[George II]

20. Did you watch "Inside Politics" today on CNN? They spent about half the hour talking about....

...all the things Biden has done wrong and what he has to fix.

[awesomerwb1]

30. Lame

And pretty pathetic of Bernie to be using footage like "Establishment" Obama is endorsing him.

I see. Just like bernard, back to bashing the media.

You get another 1,000 miles for using the Unlimited Mileage Victim Card - again.

[betsuni]

53. Ha!

[RhodeIslandOne]

3. Today's probably not the day

[msongs]

4. one suspects this shameless pandering will not play well with some dems demographics nt

[Zeus69]

5. It's over, dude

[MineralMan]

7. Didn't I see that earlier today, in the morning?

Hmm...your point in repeating the post?

Anyhow, I'm just not feelin' it...

[Cary]

8. I find it odd that Sanders is attempting to glom onto Barack Obama

Barack Obama is "establishment."

[Moderateguy]

17. I am sure Bernie has done the mental gymnastics

to justify to himself how a former Democratic POTUS is not establishment

[George II]

21. Yes, Barack Obama, who Harry Reid had to plead with Sanders to not primary in 2012.

[Gothmog]

36. This ad is so bogus

[LanternWaste]

9. I feel no burn, but do see pandering and a late pivot.

Wait... I do feel a burn, been sitting on my bum in the same position since 7:30 this morning. Time to take a walk around the building and stretch those glutes (and that I say with great authenticity and great passion)!

Thanks for the reminder and the thread, Donkees!

[BlueIdaho]

10. Translation

Bernie is myopically inflexible. It’s a left handed complement.

[frazzled]

11. And he believes that anyone

who doesn’t support him is a corporatist, establishment enemy in thrall to the billionaires.

Most people resent that passionate view of his.

[NYMinute]

25. Passionate is not what I'd call it

[Cha]

45. Exactly

[lapfog_1]

32. I would love to be in thrall to a billionaire

a well paid thrall.

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. That was dated this past Monday?

Cheap shot, hoss.

Real cheap.

[greenjar_01]

13. This is going to surprise some of you who have built this quality up in your minds

But saying exactly what you believe all the time is not actually a virtue.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

[peggysue2]

27. LOL!!

Made me laugh. Good one on you, greenjar!

Best and most succinct TED talk I've listened to in awhile.

[relayerbob]

14. Seriously?

He's going to wrap himself up in Obama? After threatening to primary him in 2012?

Where's my popcorn?

[trueblue2007]

22. i don 't feel any bern. i feel distrust and disinterest when i think about B.S.

[NYMinute]

24. This will blow up in his face

when Obama sends a cease and desist message like he sent to Bloomberg.

[Cha]

47. I hope Obama does!

[DonaldsRump]

26. The only Burn I'm feeling is the Biden Burn!!!!!

Go Joe! You got Mo'Joe and Joe-Mentum!

I'm feeling the Biden Burn!!!

[mvd]

28. I will always feel the Bern despite what happens

[samnsara]

29. it would be more effective if the ad was about something Bernie has accomplished...

[Gothmog]

39. What happened to sanders' magical voter revolution?

How is sanders going to get his agenda adopted in the real world without his magical voter revolution?

[highplainsdem]

31. Here's the truth about that deceptively edited ad:

[Talitha]

33. I'd rather go with Joe and feel the Love.

[Cha]

49. Well said, Talitha

[eleny]

34. When Obama asked Sanders to stand down and then Obama endorsed Hillary Clinton

According to Neera Tanden who was just interviewed on MSNBC.

[Gothmog]

35. This is a better ad of Bernie & Obama

[SidDithers]

40. JFC. That's shameless...

[Cha]

48. :(

[HarlanPepper]

41. 5 Pinocchios

[William769]

46. So now you all are ok with the Democratic establishment?

I wish you would make up your mind.

Seems like Sanders is.

[LizBeth]

52. Sanders got round that stating Obama isn't part of establishment. Earlier today said the billionaire

is the establishment he is talking about.

Amazing, right? And he runs on integrity.

[grantcart]

50. I was watching BS rage at the Democratic Establishment and they

Broke for commercial and played this one.

You may get this pass your low information friends bit we remember the real bitter Sanders who wanted to primary Obama.

All this video shows is how a guy with no class tries to exploit a guy with world class.

Most duplicitous ad of the campaign, now let's return to Sanders raging against Democratic leadership.

[MFM008]

51. Im sure

but, do you really think Obama will not come out for his own
hand picked VP for someone else when the time comes?

[Historic NY]

54. Doctoring a video naughty naughty.....

Obama did say those words, in a January 2016 interview with Politico. But he also said other words in the middle, which the ad omits.
In the full quote, Obama made clear that he doesn't know Sanders as well as Sanders' then-rival, Hillary Clinton.

Obama did say, "That's right. Feel the Bern!" at the 2016 convention. But he said it while trying to get Sanders supporters to vote for Clinton, not while offering an endorsement of Sanders.
Obama was trying to unite the party behind Clinton after her contentious primary with Sanders. During Obama's lengthy testimonial to Clinton, he complimented Sanders supporters -- and promptly encouraged everybody to vote for Democrats.

55. No Thanks

I am so sick of Bernie.

[RandySF]

56. The Hidden History of Sanders's Plot to Primary Obama

Bernie sanders got so close to running a primary challenge to President Barack Obama that Senator Harry Reid had to intervene to stop him.

It took Reid two conversations over the summer of 2011 to get Sanders to scrap the idea, according to multiple people who remember the incident, which has not been previously reported.
