1. I'm okay with it

I would have been upset if the president had endorsed her a month or even a week ago, but now that she has a mathematical lock on the majority of pledged delegates I don't have a problem with it. I agree with MoveOn that the supers should not overrule the pledged delegates without a very, very good reason (i.e. if John Edwards had won the 2008 primaries).

I would have preferred if the president waited until after the DC primary, but I respect him for staying on the sidelines as long as he did. He gave Bernie the courtesy of a heads up on Sunday that he was going to endorse, and held off until their meeting today at Bernie's request. Bernie himself said that the president has been impartial and fair throughout the process.
