Listen to this one:
“In some ways, even though [the president’s] numbers are good, and good with the Democratic base, he overestimates,” said a Democratic strategist aligned with Sanders. “Much of the activist Bernie movement—I think he overestimates his strength with those people.”
"The campaign is hyper-sensitive to any whiff of being treated as a smaller protest candidacy, to failures to acknowledge the over 40 percent of primary votes Sanders won, or to being dismissed by what they see as the establishment. And an endorsement of Hillary Clinton by a president that many of them believe fell short of his progressive promise has that establishment smell"

Here's the sad thing. I don't really see that we need him. For what? More pious lectures?
It's over. He doesn't get a say in that. It's like a team lost the Super Bowl and still keeps pretending they didn't really lose.
The level of stubbornness he shows-to the point of being delusional- again proves that Dems made the right choice.

Over 40 percent is not a majority. Not even close. This is why the Berners think the campaign is still not over.
"Sanders supporters warn Obama: Don't try to stop Bernie"
"Some of the Vermont senator's backers think the president is trying to end the Democratic fight prematurely."

End it prematurely? It's over. He's lost the race. The party has chosen their nominee.
“People talk to Bernie. But Bernie marches to his own drum. And that’s true if Clinton talks to him or if Obama talks to him,” said Clinton ally and former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell. “The president deserves an A for effort, but I’m not sure he’s going to have much of an impact.”

No. It's not about Bernie's drum. We mark to the drum of the voters.
Here is Alan Grayson who was running a hedge fund that skirted Congressional ethics rules all those years:
http://www.politico.com/story/2015/06/alan-grayson-hedge-fund-ethics-119553
"Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), who’s also endorsed Sanders, didn’t want to talk about Obama when asked about the situation while coming off the House floor on Wednesday afternoon. But he also didn’t want to discuss backing down."
“These are all word games. She’s not now the nominee, that is a decision that is made in Philadelphia at a certain time and a certain place,” Grayson said. “The convention will choose the nominee. There’s no way legally to bring that decision forward. It is what it is.”

Nope. Grayson is involved in word games just like he was when he skirted ethics rules.
She is the nominee. Just like we didn't wait until August in 2008 to know that Obama was the nominee.

“They don’t want to see him shoved to the side,” the Democratic strategist said. “A lot of love is going to be more productive than a lot of pressure. There’s a strain out there that just wants to hit [Sanders] with a two-by-four and say, ‘get out.’ The better course is to show appreciation and engagement and show how much the party needs this guy.”
