"Warren Buffett: Here's what I like about Bernie Sanders"

[Attorney in Texas]

link; excerpt:

"What I like about Bernie Sanders is he'll say exactly what he believes. He is not tailoring his message week by week. You'll find with some of the candidates that they shift around, or they don't answer the question. With Bernie, you know exactly what he thinks," Buffett told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Monday.

The billionaire investor said he agrees with Sanders in certain areas, including the influence of money in politics, as well as income inequality. "{Sanders} is bothered by the fact that, in a country with a $56,000 GDP per capita so many people are poor. ... He would like to do something about that."

I'm not a huge fan of Buffett (although I like him better than most in his industry), but this seems like a fair assessment.

Thanks Warren...

5. Thanks, Warren. I agree.

I actually DO like Buffeet, which is not to say that I agree with him. But he does have a conscience and he is mindful of the impact of his industry.

6. Funny how he supports Clinton despite "tailoring her message" every day.
