Yes Hillary, Obama was the right man for the last 7.5 years. Now its time for the next 8 years.

I am so proud to have voted for Barack Obama twice. He has accomplished so much, pulled us out of the recession, I have healthcare because of President Obama. And he did it while being challenged every step of the way. Not only has he had an extremely successful presidency, he has also been a role model for America with his scandal-free 2 terms & with his amazing family. I am going to be heartsick when the Obamas leave the White House. And yes, he deserves a heckuva a lot more credit than he receives.

It's because of President Obama's successes that we, as a country, are able to move forward.

It's time to challenge the status quo & take this country out of the oligarchy that it is rapidly becoming.
Millions of Americans are coming out of the woodwork because they agree. We have had enough of the direction this country has been going in. President Obama made great strides in this direction. Now it's time to take it further, to push the envelope and see what we can accomplish in the next phase of our representative democracy.
I cannot support someone that wants to hold us back. I cannot support someone who tells voters "No we can't".


President Obama was the right President for the past, Bernie is the right President for the future.

"The times they are a-changing".
