Related: About this forumPresident Obama is preparing to endorse Hillary Clinton for president
President Barack Obama is ready to make it official.
With Hillary Clinton close to securing the Democratic nomination for president, Obama is on the verge of formally endorsing his former secretary of state and starting to aggressively make the case against Republican Donald Trump. White House officials say the announcement could come within days, although not before Democrats in New Jersey, California and four other states vote Tuesday in contests expected to solidify Clintons claim.
The timeline is likely to hold regardless of how Clinton rival Sen. Bernie Sanders reacts to the Tuesday outcome, the White House said Monday.
Obama called Sanders on Sunday to discuss next steps, according to a Democrat familiar with the call. The Democrat spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss the private conversation, and would not reveal any details about it.

Can't wait to see it.
I've read that Pres. Obama can't wait to get out there on the campaign trail, and especially so to let Donalt Trump have it
Give it to him good Mr. President
