Barack Obama Endorses Kamala Harris For President

This is HUGE! A FIRST endorses another FIRST and with good reason! I doubt there is a Republican of similar stature who will do the same for CF#45 with deep humility and praise. Both Barack and Michelle Obama are FIRED UP AND READY TO GO!

Former President Barack Obama endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential run Friday, the latest in a string of high-profile politicians to throw their weight behind the clear front-runner for the Democratic Party nomination.

In a video statement, both the former president and his wife, Michelle Obama, gave their support to Harris and committed to doing everything they can to get her elected as president.

“We called to say Michelle and I couldn’t be prouder to endorse you and do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office,” Obama said.

“It’s time for us to rally around you, your candidacy,” Michelle Obama said. “This is not on you, it’s not just on you and Doug, it’s on all of us. ... We’ve got to register, we’ve got to vote. ... So, let’s all roll up our sleeves and make it happen.”

Not only an honor, but GIGANTIC.

The Obamas will draw huge crowds wherever they will be speaking. Both are still considered National Treasures. They know this country needs the talents of Kamala Harris and whoever she picks as her running mate.

I sure am excited.
