And what issues is he "dissing" Obama on? You need to be more specific. He and many of us Bernie supporters have supported Obama on many things such as giving us a start on health care coverage with the ACA, and also the Iran deal (which I wrote about publicly to support).
But if you are criticizing him for criticizing his policies on free trade (fast track, TPP, etc.) or having a DOJ that cuts "deals" with Wall Street instead of prosecuting ANY of them for the big financial meltdown of 2008 they CRIMINALLY caused, then I'm sorry, but Bernie is doing his job in representing progressive and Democratic Party values in criticizing those stances. Call that dissing if you like, but we want to be proud of a government working for all of us, not just worship a man no matter what he does. We're not Republicans that try to criticize him for everything in so many ways that he doesn't deserve, even if he used Republicans to pass the Fast Track bill who he couldn't have passed without their bigger majority of support in congress to do so.
There's a picture of him and his wife walking across a bridge in Selma with John Lewis. There have been many other times that he's worked with black Americans and supporting them, and many have supported him like Keith Ellison, etc. You just selectively ignore those things and try to "slam" him in ways you are basically making stuff up about, because you have no real valid reasons to criticize him, other than for some reason you just don't like him.
