primaried in 2012? Or did he try to hitch himself to Obama and say he "campaigned for him" after no one would take him up on his suggestion to primarying him?

Sanders Talks Up Primary Challenge to Obama as ‘a Good Idea for Our Democracy and for the Democratic Party’

The Vermont independent is not running for president, but he says it’s time “that people start asking the president some hard questions about why he said one thing during his previous campaign, and is doing another thing today on Social Security, on Medicare.”

I say it's "time people start asking BS some hard questions".

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
