Obama Returns To Florida For Hillary Amid New FBI Probe
Ms Obama herself previously declined the prospect of becoming the next Obama in the White House, citing her daughters had had enough with one parent serving as president – but she also said that she could affect more change outside outside of the political system.
The president, who battled Mrs. Clinton in the 2008 Democratic primary race before choosing her as his secretary of state, insisted she is ready to lead and promised she will continue his agenda.
President Obama is coming back to North Carolina to campaign for Hillary Clinton this week.
“She is ready to be commander-in-chief on Day 1, and yes, she happens to be a woman”, Obama said of Clinton. “But we’ve seen over the past few elections that North Carolina really has become a battleground tossup state and with so many young liberal millennial voters on our campus, this is really a place for Democrats to come and try to rally together early voters”.
Mrs. Obama, one of Clinton’s most effective surrogates, passionately touted Clinton’s experience and denounced Trump as too divisive and thin-skinned for the White House.
There are some folks out there who are commenting that it is unprecedented for a sitting first lady to be so actively engaged in a presidential campaign, and that may be true, said Obama, putting their past rivalry to rest.
“She doesn’t say the polls are great when the polls are in her favour, and then when they don’t go in her favour, the polls stink and nobody knows what they’re talking about”.
“When a guy’s ambitious and out in the public arena and working hard well that’s OK, but when a woman suddenly does it, suddenly you’re all like – well why’s she doing that?” he said.
First, Clinton can afford a 50-state strategy especially since she and her allies have raised just over $1 billion to have the luxury to spend whatever amount her campaign thinks wise in any state they want.
“She speaks very badly of Putin, and I don’t think that’s smart”, he said.
President Barack Obama doubled down Friday on his endorsement of Hillary Clinton, hours after the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced it is reviewing newly discovered emails related to her personal server.
“With less than 2 weeks to go, the White House is switching into full-campaign mode”. The FBI Director’s announcement that the Bureau had found more emails pertinent to its Hillary Clinton private e-mail server investigation, and was re-opening that investigation, sent shockwaves across the political spectrum this afternoon.
Aside from urging voters to get to the polls early, Obama encouraged Floridians to also vote for Murphy to replace Republican incumbent U.S. Sen.
He said more than a million people in OH have already voted.
While campaigning in OH, the Republican nominee criticized Clinton for being too tough on Russian President Vladimir Putin. “Make sure we run through the tape”, he said.
