Liberal group says ‘Obama sounds like Warren’

Liberals are declaring victory after President Obama’s State of the Union address, with the Progressive Change Campaign Committee saying that he echoed Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass, who has been mentioned as a possible 2016 presidential candidate for the left wing of the party.
