Obama misses the point. Bernie Sanders is more than a 'bright, shiny object'

curmudgeon from the frozen state of Vermont. Naysayers say this 74-year-old codger might be too old to be president. But Obama seems not to see the wrinkles and the white hair. He thinks voters are flocking to Sanders because he is a novelty object – a mere flavor of the month that they will soon tire of.

In an interview with Politico published on Monday, Obama complimented former secretary of state Hillary Clinton as a smart and tough person “who has been in the public eye for a long time”. He suggested this might be a weakness. “In a culture in which new is always better you know, you’re always looking at the bright, shiny object that people don’t, haven’t seen before.” Like Bernie Sanders.

I remember another "bright, shiny object" that ran for president in 2008.
