President Obama Is About To Endorse Hillary Clinton And Devastate Donald Trump

President Obama may endorse Hillary Clinton as soon as this week, as the President is itching to get out on the campaign trail and take on Donald Trump.

The New York Times reported:
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.

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.

Trump's supporters are Trump's supporters because they are outraged over having a Black POTUS, if anything it will strengthen them

It doesn't say his endorsement of Clinton will devastate him. The writer of the article obviously thinks Obama will "devastate" Trump by how he attacks him in speeches on the campaign trail. Also, the article doesn't say that it will win over Trump supporters, but mentions winning over independents and moderates.

All the rest of us just want a goddamned government that works for us - regular common people - not just corporations or the rich. We had a fabulous candidate who would have done that. Unlike your "first woman", he spent his entire life fighting for working folk and the poor.

But - we're not going to get that because "first woman" pony and revenge against Trump.

What we're going to get is permanent Oligarchy codified into law via TPP et al. and a further destroyed planet to boot.

I hope Madame President provides free K-Y to everyone in America because that bent over and screwed position we've been in so often in the past 40 years? It's about to become permanent. For me, you, your kids, their kids, and their grandkids -- virtually everybody who isn't wealthy - and that's a LOT of people. And there's no way out now. NONE. That door is closed.

To everyone here who suffers from this:

. . . the rest of us will enjoy saying: "I told you so" when you finally wake up and realize how cooked our collective goose really is.

Enjoy your "first woman" pony while you can. I'm sure Obama will enjoy his revenge partay. Pfft.

I won't even bring up the subject of short-sightedness and priorities.

There will be plenty of time here in Hell for that later.
