This is from when they made an appearance together last January. From Hillary's blog,

"What President Obama’s Legacy Means to Me"

If you take a step back and look at all America has achieved over the past eight years, it’s remarkable to see how far we’ve come. ... As president, I will carry forward the Democratic record of achievement. I’ll defend President Obama’s accomplishments and build upon them. ...

We’ve made tremendous progress over the past eight years. That shouldn’t be dismissed or taken lightly. Let’s keep that progress going. Let’s make sure no one turns the clock back. We’ve come too far. We’ve 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.
