"The White House Just Took Hillary Clinton's Side in Her Latest Fight with Bernie Sanders"
I saw that and was thinking about doing an OP about it.. it's big news!
snip//
The White House came to the defense of Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton on Thursday, one day after rival Bernie Sanders charged that the former secretary of state is "not qualified" to serve as president.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One as President Barack Obama flew to Chicago, deputy press secretary Eric Schultz said that contra Sanders, Obama sees his 2008 primary opponent as a qualified successor.
Clinton "comes to the race with more experience than any non-vice president" in recent history, Schultz said, according to a pool report.
Schultz added that Obama was "fortunate" that Clinton agreed to become his chief diplomat after the two bitterly sparred during the 2008 primaries.

I wondered before if something might happen and President Obama would have to speak up for Hillary before the actual nomination.. and it's not over yet.
Thank you, Iliyah~
