He's sent signals so there isn't really any question about what he thinks, considering his choice is between someone who builds on his policies/legacy or someone who doesn't.

I suspect Obama will set a precedent in support and campaigning for Hillary

The Bernie Supporters would throw a fit that Obama/DNC/etc. conspired against their revolution and everything would have gone their way without his interference.

I can understand why some may say he should wait,however,when you have the Bernie people all fired up for great things to happen,it would seem to take that energy and put it to good use & to take down the trump money machine.
Just sayin'

behind the scenes to support Clinton.

Sander's behavior and comments this last week has not been good for his standing in the Democratic party, but that should be no surprise.

But I got a preview the other day when he was giving his speech in Austin to a Democratic group and I turned to my friend and said, "I can't wait until he starts campaigning for Hillary!"

will be endorsing, but he's in a tight fight with Senate Republicans over Chief Judge Merrick Garland to get him confirmed, and he's got plenty of other important work to do.

Once he endorses, they require him to campaign for her, and he really doesn't have that much time to do it yet.

So no, it's not time for President Obama to endorse his former SoS.
