Obama warns Democrats against going too far left: ‘We have to be rooted in reality’

From Article:

• Former President Barack Obama on Friday warned Democratic primary candidates to avoid moving too far left in their policy proposals.
• “Even as we push the envelope and we are bold in our vision we also have to be rooted in reality,” Obama said. “The average American doesn’t think we have to completely tear down the system and remake it.”
• Obama’s comments, made to the Democracy Alliance in Washington D.C., come as a large spread of candidates compete in the Democratic primary.
• The former president has mostly stayed quiet about the election, and has told allies that he and his wife have no plans to endorse anyone because they don’t want to influence the election.
