The Obamas level with voters who aren't wild about Clinton
2016-09-29
[POLITICO] The Obamas and Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body...
are warning voters that they must turn out on Election Day to stop Donald Trump ‐ even if they don’t like Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzla and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Hamilton Fish ...
all that much.

While the three top surrogates are heaping praise on Clinton, they are also leveling with voters -- especially young and minority voters -- who are not as fired up about the former secretary of state as they were about the Obamas in 2008, or Bernie Sanders
...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords...
earlier this year.

"The notion somehow that, ’Well, you know, I’m not as inspired because Barack and Michelle, they’re not on the ballot this time, and, you know, maybe we kinda take it easy’ -- my legacy’s on the ballot," Obama said on Wednesday morning on the "Steve Harvey Morning Show." "You know, all the work we’ve done over the last eight years is on the ballot."

Michelle Obama, speaking at a rally in Philadelphia, also swiped at the idea that Clinton is viewed by many as a less-than-inspiring candidate, despite her hefty foreign and domestic policy credentials.

"Remember it’s not about voting for the perfect candidate. There is no such person," the hugely popular first lady said. "In this election it is about making a choice between two very different candidates with very different visions for our nation. So the question is do you want Hillary Clinton to be your president, or do you want her opponent to be your president?"

#3  Oh, she has credentials alright.

And the Obamas...I have heard them called historic, inspirational, so forth, never really as fun to be around.

Unless, of course, you stand Barry next to Hillary or McCain.
