Where's Barack?

[Capperdan]

Isn't it time for an endorsement?

[Turin_C3PO]

1. I don't think he'll endorse

until we have a clear nominee.

[FreepFryer]

2. He's cool, we're cool, it'll happen when it happens. I'm okay w him staying in the backfield

The less the GOP can personify any of this onto any one person the better, imho. Let them burn their powder. President Obama led us well and we are moving forward, when he steps into the public debate it’ll be a watershed moment.

3. no. He can't endorse in the primaries

It would be a lose-lose situation, both for Obama and the candidate in question.The other loser would be the primary process.
He's long promised, however, that he would campaign for the eventual nominee.

4. no n/t

[Capperdan]

5. Thanks MBS

I see your point

[brush]

6. One thing for sure, he won't be endorsing Sanders.

[radical noodle]

7. Like others here

I don't believe he will endorse until the nomination is locked up. He didn't endorse Hillary until she had the delegates.

8. No! He does not want to weigh in. He should not. That could inspire animosity and possibly, if

whomever he endorses fails, future resentment against him. We need him once a nominee is chosen. He absolutely believes in the democratic process.

9. Barack is where he should be - staying out of the fray until it's decided.

10. You mean PRESIDENT Obama? nt

[FreepFryer]

12. THIS. (Nt)

[tavernier]

11. So you're not sure who he will pick?

Sorry... I woke up in a smart ass mood.
I’ve got to cut down on sugar, lol!

[DrToast]

13. Chicago?

[Tarc]

14. It is traditional for former presidents to not wade in to primaries

There's no reason for Obama to break the trend.

[yardwork]

15. No. He said he will endorse the nominee.

[MrsCoffee]

16. Lol, be careful what you ask for.

[LiberalBrooke]

17. He is right in the middle of it all.

I think he is responsible for the ongoing Democratic coalition. Just because he not in the news does not mean that he is not active. Be patient, he will endorse when the time is right.

[Skidmore]

18. President Obama will do what

he thinks right when ready to.

Are you on a first name basis with him?

[Capperdan]

20. I wish I were

And I believe he is doing the right thing by waiting. I miss the guy.

[Tarheel_Dem]

19. No. Obama will come out at the appropriate time because if this process gets as nasty as I...

suspect it will, and Obama will need to act as a unifier. This question has been posed a number of times by BS supporters, the insinuation being that if Obama wanted Joe to be POTUS, he would come out and say so. He didn't do it 2016, and he's not gonna do it now. Next question?

[Demsrule86]

21. I don't think so but be careful what you ask for.
