Can be considered a non-politician or an outsider is curious at the very least.

Here is what I believe about Senator Sanders' recent "more in sadness than in anger" actions in regard to the President - It's a cynical attempt to harvest the fruits of 8 years of Obama hate while keeping his hands relatively clean.

He soft talks to both sides to allow our imagination to fill in the blanks with whatever motives you believe are appropriate but just off the top of my head Senator sanders has

Written a cover a blurb on a book critical to the President called "Buyers remorse"

Said that he regrets that Obama wasn't opposed in the '12 primary

Aligned himself with a man who said that "Obama Is A Rockefeller Republican In Blackface"

This is not illegal or even surprising - Triangulating to get support from as many factions as possible is POLITICS. Senator Sanders is a successful politician. No one gets reelected for that often without knowing what they're doing

Just quit telling me that he arrived riding a winged steed without the mud of battle on his shiny silver armor.
