27. I think Sanders Authentically believes

this kind of stuff....

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511200848

about Obama. He's been hold back, cause he knows it won't get him anywhere (which is a little inauthentic and calculating, I know.)

Hillary and her supporters need to really flush Sanders out on his true feelings about Obama, perhaps using the words of Cornel West -- who Sanders frequently has introduce him -- as the foil.


West has called Obama a Rockefeller Republican in black face, a "niggerized" president, and a lot worse.

Senator Sanders, you frequently have Cornel West introduce you to audiences [list a bunch, there are a lot]. But Mr West has called Obama, a "Rockefeller Republican in black face' and has used an ugly racial slur to characterize the president's approach to racial issues. Do you agree with him? And if you don't, why do you invite him on the campaign trail with you so often?
