6. More spin.

Remember that Bernie Sanders also recommended that President Obama be primaried for his part in starting this whole budget slashing debacle. http://www.thenation.com/blog/162771/bernie-sanders-tal...

Bernie Sanders is not a fan of austerity measures, and to take that message from this clip, if you have any idea of what Bernie stands for, is wholly disingenuous. Of COURSE the failure is better than what we were hearing about in the final weeks of the negotiations. At that time, they were talking about "big deals" that would slash up to FOUR TRILLION from the budget, PERMANENT tax cuts for the wealthy, and slashing of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. OF COURSE this is better than that. But that is like saying that dirt tastes better than shit.

This clip is Bernie's reaction to that comparison, not a statement of preferred policy. And that is the whole point of this media spin...to get liberals to forget what we used to stand for. If you asked Bernie whether it would be better if the Super Committee had never been forced down our throats, and if you asked him whether demand side stimulus would be better than slashing a trillion from an economy that is already starving, I think you know very well the answer you would get.
