Who else has Obama supported in Dem primary?

So far I have heard of his support for Rahm/DWS, but has he publicly supported other dems in primaries? Unusual for leader of party to be taking sides in primary, no?

If this doesn't show his true nature, I don't know what will. No more excuses.

Just a rumor though. Might want to double check.

Oops, last year but still an interesting endorsement while we ponder who he'll endorse this year.

Maybe Obama had them over to the White House to test out the bowling alley he refurbished in the basement of the White House, but I wouldn't know that either.
