4:49Now Playing"Former Vermont Governor, presidential candidate, and head of the Democratic National Committee, Howard Dean, threatened on Monday to abandon the party which he helped build in reaction to a story that suggested President Barack Obama's White House may be trying to shield the Pentagon from devastating budget cuts."*
What's the point of being a Democrat if the party isn't really liberal? If it isn't progressive? President Obama is doing very little to cut defense spending and social security is in danger. So, Howard Dean is threatening to leave the party and become an independent. Cenk Uygur explains why that makes a lot of sense.
