President Obama Ready to Endorse Hillary and Hit the Trail (As Early as This Week)

President Obama is in talks with the Clinton campaign about how and when his endorsement could be the most helpful (perhaps as early as this week) reports the New York Times.


President Obama, after months of sitting on the sidelines of the rancorous contest to succeed him, is now ready to aggressively campaign for Hillary Clinton, starting with a formal endorsement of her candidacy as early as this week.

The White House is in active conversations with Mrs. Clinton’s campaign about how and where the president would be useful to her, according to senior aides to Mr. Obama.

We’re lucky to have a President who will be an asset on the trail and embraced by our nominee (something that John McCain and Al Gore did not have to their advantage).

With the President’s approval numbers consistently over 50% for quite a while now, he’s actually more popular than Ronald Reagan was at this point in his Presidency (interestingly, the last President who was succeeded by a member of his own party).

It was reported last week that President Obama is ready to ‘explode’ onto the campaign trail for the Democratic nominee.


Its time....for a party time ,,,,a great birthday gift for me in June that she becomes nominee in June..



















LOOKS LIKE WE MADE IT....finally

Obama Is Eager to Hit the Stump for Hillary Clinton and Shred Donald Trump



SNIP..

Mr. Obama is particularly enthusiastic, aides said, about taking on Mr. Trump. The Republican candidate has personally offended the president with his conduct on the campaign trail — Mr. Trump referred to a black supporter on Friday in one of his crowds as “my African-American” — and as the most visible champion of the “birther” conspiracy theories that falsely hold that Mr. Obama was born in Kenya rather than Hawaii.

Should Mrs. Clinton do well enough in the primaries on Tuesday to give her sufficient delegates to claim the Democratic nomination, Mr. Obama is likely to move swiftly to make a case for her.

“He has indicated he wants to spend a lot of time on the campaign trail, so when it’s time to do that, we’ll go out guns ablazing,” Jennifer Psaki, Mr. Obama’s communications director, said in an interview. “We are actively thinking through how to use the president on the campaign trail — what works for the nominee, what works for him, and how to utilize his strengths and his appeal.”

Obama will silence both their useless slanderous drivel of campaign "messages"

President Obama will usher in with grace & dignity, our next Madam President to lead the free world. She comes well prepared, supported & admired.

DT & BS have shown to be capable of running only the most despicable bottom feeding organized hate & low life scam campaigns possible.
The have shown WHO THEY ARE.

President Obama & Madam President Hillary Clinton stand in the light of dignity, respect and humanity for all people. They represent America perfectly.
