Politico is reporting that former President Barack Obama has made it clear that if Bernie Sanders runs away with the primaries, he would consider intervening to stop him from securing the win.

But this is far from impressive for two reasons: 1. salaries for politicians is a progressive concept that allows for non-rich politicians to serve; 2. The presidential salary of $400,000/year is NOTHING compared to the $3.1B that he'd pay if Warren or Sanders wins.
