WASHINGTON (AP): President Barack Obama is announcing his formal endorsement of Hillary Clinton.

In an online video, Obama calls on Democrats to unify behind his former secretary of state’s bid and “build on the progress” of his eight terms in the White House.

“I want you to be the first to know that I’m with her,” he says.

Obama is also praising Democratic primary candidate Bernie Sanders for engaging young voters and highlighting the issues of income inequality and money in politics. “Embracing that message is going to help us win in November,” says Obama.

Clinton and Obama will campaign together in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on June 15.

What else would you expect from the Dictator. I can’t remember when a President in office got involved in the campaign. I don’t know if the damage he has done will ever be repaired. Our children now believe Communism is the way to govern. It could already be to late.
