Dayen on Obama's progressive bashing

David Dayen is Executive Editor of The American Prospect, a strongly liberal magazine,*  interviewed on Rising below. He finds Obama's reported, recent remarks against Sanders to be nothing new. Dayen thinks Obama is protective of his centrist, ideological legacy and the new progressive push is a threat to that. They discuss the irony in that Obama ran in both elections as one who challenged the status quo with grassroots campaigns against war and for challenges against vulture capitalism.
