WASHINGTON — 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.

Advisers say the president, who sees a Democratic successor as critical to his legacy, is impatient to begin campaigning. They say he is taking nothing for granted.

Mr. Obama is particularly enthusiastic, aides said, about taking on Donald J. Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee. Mr. Trump has personally offended the president with his conduct on the campaign trail — Mr. Trump referred on Friday to a black man 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.

1. T-rump is the face of the GOPs

UGH, what an image. T-rump stands for everything that the GOPs cares about.

So glad to see Pres O, VP B, and the rest of the Dems come out for Dems across board.

2. This is an important time for the Democratic party, and we sure need to defeat Trump.

Obama will be an asset, she did not run away from Obama and he knows she will continue the ACA of which he gave lots of political capital to enact.

3. Honestly, if anyone wants her to win, she should just stay as hidden as possible

And let Obama and Bernie whip up the votes for her... When she speaks, she really turns a lot of people off... She's absolutely horrific at public speaking even after so many years in the limelight. They just need to hide Bill in a closet and wake him up after her reign... I don't want him "fixing" the economy any worse than he did already!!!

4. This should be fun!
