(25,122 posts)I'm not going to call you up to congratulate you so you'll love me and you'll write nice things about me. That's not what I do. ... I have been amazed at how many people respond to 'Happy Birthday.' 'Oh Bernie, thanks so much for calling.' It works. It's just not my style. I try to stay focused on the important issues facing working families in this country, and I fight for them."

Look, I dont tolerate [expletive] terribly well, and I come from a different background than a lot of other people who run the country, he said. Im not good at backslapping. Im not good at pleasantries. If you have your birthday, Im not going to call you up to congratulate you....
