In reply to the discussion: Hug it Out! The Hillary-President Obama HUGS~ [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)98. They hug in back rooms also. :)
This is from when they made an appearance together last January. From Hillary's blog,
"What President Obamas Legacy Means to Me"
If you take a step back and look at all America has achieved over the past eight years, its remarkable to see how far weve come. ... As president, I will carry forward the Democratic record of achievement. Ill defend President Obamas accomplishments and build upon them. ...
Weve made tremendous progress over the past eight years. That shouldnt be dismissed or taken lightly. Lets keep that progress going. Lets make sure no one turns the clock back. Weve come too far. Weve accomplished too much. We can do even more for our families, our communities, and the country we love. And together, we can build an economy and a country that works for everyone. That would be truly revolutionary.

And as the ImmoralMinority blogger put it:
Now see that speaks to me. We do not need a revolution, because President Obama WAS the revolution. What we need now is for a reliable person to take over the job and further the progress that Obama has already made.

They had a very warm hug, as opposed to that stiff-armed whatever-it-was that Trump and Melania had.
