Do you think Obama will be campaigning vigourously for Hillary in the fall?

I sure hope so, I still think Obama is popular especially with the base
I remember Gore didn't have Clinton out there for him in 00 and I think that was Gore's doing
08 McCain didn't want anything to do with Bush Jr
Obama is still popular I am looking forward to a landslide with regaining both houses

Is she still the one Senator left sitting on the fence? In my eyes, this makes her a bit of a coward, because she knows Clinton will be the nominee but fears the Bros too much to admit it publicly.

Is she up for re-election this year or something? Is she afraid of offending her MA base somehow?

President Obama, The First Lady and Joey Biden will all be out there pumping voters for Hillary. Not only is Hillary an incredibly experienced and competent candidate but the legacy of the last 8 years is on the line.

And Trump? He's dangerous, hideously unbalanced.

as it turns out he was wrong, Bill was really popular in his last year. He also thought that lieberman was a good idea. I love Gore but he displayed the political instincts of a rhinoceros.

My apologies to Donna.

Donna was the campaign manager, but Devine was the chief strategist.

My mistake, although I'm sure Devine didn't help Gore.

and Sanders will be LATE to the same demomcratic party who LOST their elections because they cowardly turned away from President Obama in the past.

Our President is very popular and done amazing things in the face of ZERO Congressional work. ZERO. Turn the Senate and House around and President Clinton can go great things.

I can't wait to hear President Obama's comments in the General Election. Trump isn't worthy of being in the same room with either Obama or Clinton. Give me a break.

and campaign hard. He all but endorsed her at the WH Correspondents dinner without actually saying the words "support" or "endorse." As president he has to stay nominally neutral while the primaries are active, but his intentions are clear. He's with her! As are Michelle, Bill, and Joe Biden. As for Liz Warren, who cares?
