Obama endorses Hilary Clinton for President

Clinton and Obama

President Barack Obama endorsed presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in a web video Thursday.

“I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office,” Obama said in the video.

“I want those of you who have been with me since the beginning of this incredible journey to be the first to know that I’m with her,” Obama continued. “I am fired up. And I can’t wait to get out there and campaign with Hillary.”

Obama will campaign with Clinton next week in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

His endorsement made note of the historic nature of Clinton’s being the first female presidential nominee of a major political party. Obama’s endorsement brings full circle a relationship that began when the two were rivals in the hard-fought 2008 Democratic nominating contest.

    Sadly, they are two of a kind.

    Both born only of the flesh, serving the same master, walking the same road, and travelling to the same destiny.

    Yet God loves them both and by the death of His Beloved Son He has provided salvation for each of them
    if they will only repent and believe. The future of America does not rest with either Obama or Clinton, nor with Trump. The Lord Jesus is coming, and to Him ever knee with bow :!: When the nail pierced feet mount the ancient Throne of David in Jerusalem very tongue will confess that He is Lord.

    Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill.

    The huge difference between Billary and Donald; Billary has already been bought with special interest money, and she does not have to do what is promised during her campaign because she will be a puppet as Obama is. Donald has his own money so no one can dare tell him what to say, when to say it, and how to say it. He will not have anyone running things in the shadows. Big pharma, oil companies, oligarchs, wall street, main stream media – the elite globalists…all scared of the D. But Billary will be easy pickings for them, as Skerrit is to the Chinese. So pick your poison, because none of them will have African people on the agenda, except to keep holding Africans down with the boot to their necks

    You have to remember that Bill Clinton was the one who denounced to the WTO our EU subsidies to Caribbean bananas and destroyed our banana industry. Bill Clinton accepted big donations from Chiquita. Pyerto Rico’s economic disaster is from vulture funds, many of whom donate to H. Clinton. Our brothers and sisters in Haiti were massively ripped off by the Clintons after the earthquake. The coup in Hinduras, another project H. Clinton supported. The Clinton’s act like they love evryone while stabbing them in the back.

    Wow, the two most deceptive politicians ever in American politics joining forces together.These two politicians are adepts and skilled in what they do, deceiving people.A high percentage of a Politician success in politics is the personalty treat,with charm and words, it’s a politician asset, which can be learned and developed over a period of time and be mastered, as these two have done and demonstrated, welcome to the game of politics.

      To recall when they both campaigned, contested for the presidency some 8 years ago, they were then arch enemies.

    It’s so sad after all these years that some of us are alive and well on planet earth we still have not yet gotten it..
    There’s no man, no woman,no democrat, no republican,no independent,no socialist,no communist, or any other that Americans can send to 1400 pennsylvania ave can make America any greater than it is right now..The only one that is able to do that is the GOD that sits on high above our heads…
    They keep complaining and complaining rather than through their hands up and give the MOST HIGH GOD thanks for what HE has blessed them with….
    It’s a terrible thing to put you’ll trust in a man or woman and to think that they are going to save the day…
    Oh..GOD..help us to understand and get it…

      If only they had listened to some of us when they legalized so-called same sex marriage; abortions; euthanasia (they call it assisted suicide), prostitution, illegal drugs.
      I wrote my MP and MPP and stated, “The government has failed us” in this respect. The majority of politicians voted for these abominations.
      God is taking note!

    Politicians take pleasure in promising things they know they cannot fulfill.When Obama was selling his health-care he told us over and over “If you have your doctor, you can keep your doctor,PERIOD.If you have your health insurance and you are satisfied with it you can keep it PERIOD.”He continued.”Because of what I am giving every household will saved $2500 per year.” He knew he was lying to us.Now instead of getting $2500 we are paying over $400 more on one hand per year.Because I am on my wife’s health insurance $50 is deducted from her cheque twice per month.This payment is called a surcharged. Before Obama intervened we were paying nothing.My son had AETNA as his health insurance because of Obama they gave him Blue Cross Blue Shield,His copay was $20, now $35.Before his out of pocket used to be most times under $100,now nothing under that.
    We don’t work for the government yet Obama came between and made things worse for us .I know a few will benefit, that’s…

      So, what is the significance in that question? Black women for more than half of a century in America has registered as candidates for the presidency, what’s the big deal about that!

      I am sure in this presidential election if you look carefully you may find both Black men and women, and people of all other complexion who’s name is on some ballet anybody; any unknown not affiliated with any political party can contest the presidency!

      America is a democracy where anybody can do what they wish within the law, if I want in any general I can contest by simply going and register as a candidate, and if I’m lucky people will vote for me without ever seeing my face. Before anybody doubt that it has happened about five years ago, to a black guy, he won in the preliminaries and lost later in the general election, this was not in a presidential election, he contested a seat in the senate!

    I am so happy that Obama endorsed Hilary, since she has vowed to continue some of the policies Obama started. Example the famous Obama Health Care one of the most popular policies of democrats. Millions of middle and lower income families are benefiting from.

    One of Hilary’s promised policy, will be to tackle the price of drugs, especially those that the American tax payers payed for the successful researched. And now these same drugs are being sold in America much more than the rest of the world.

    God bless the Democrat.

    Is this news? it would be if he did not endorse her. Good luck to her but personally I don’t trust this lady. Between her and Trump though she may be the lesser of two evils.

    I can’t wait to see Obama back on the campaign trail he need to shake up Trump and I want the debate between Trump and Hillary to begin .

    America in turmoil with mixed feelings, opinions and choices.
    This would be something else if Hilary wins the presidency. Recall when her husband was President what he did in office and his trial.
    Some Americans do not appreciate godly people. So far they have rejected two others – men. This is what they are getting, either Trump or Hilary.
    Disappointingly, Obama did not do much, if nothing for America.
    God help America!

      Facts, shut up, and mind your damn business, what the heck turmoil is in America?

      I live in America, been here for almost forty years, and never experience anything like what is happening in Dominica since my birth. Look after the mess that Skerrit has going on in Dominica and talk about it!

      You are so dumb: you do not live here!

      Tell me when last you left Toronto and went over the boarder into Niagara, or Upstate New York; name two main roads connecting Canada to America, there are many more, but just name two, I bet you can’t nevertheless you are running off your mouth as if you are a professor of every scientific subject.

      You saturate DNO site everyday with a pile of nonsense which makes no sense, find something constructive to do with retired moments, rather than continually lie!

        I need not inform you that I have my opinion; you have yours according to your warped mentality. Do not be a dictator and allow me my views as you expect others to do to you. Be fair and cease being a miserable man.
        Whoever wins the presidency, you will find out soon enough about them. The time is fast approaching. It may prove to be a thorn in your side. You may eat your heart out. Just do not cry and complain to us on this Website.
        Make good note of this. Americans are quaking in their boots/shoes for the outcome of this election. Do not think or do as some are presently considering to come to live in Canada. Stay away! We do not want you here.

    oh please! Both of you need to go hide. I voted once for you Obama but will not even think of voting for any of the candidates that are running. All of you are for immorality. Why would I vote for someone like Hilary who is ready to kill babies through planned parenthood. Sorry but my vote stays with me. My moral values come first. No to Clinton, Trump or Sanders!

    She promised to raise minimum wage ,Break big banks,, sign agreements between traders ,cut from college tuition fees,medicare for all,tax loop holes from the wealthy will be sorted out,..This endorsement is not a surprise.Good luck to the winner because Bernie is still moving on but hope that either of them will not be too pretentious to allow Trump to win this election because at the end of the day as Trump promised America that if he wins he will build a wall to prevent Mexicans from coming illegally to America.

      I hope you are not implying by the last statement in your post that there is something wrong with building a wall to stop Mexicans from illegally coming to America.

      It is only the delusional, brain-washed, too-smart-for-their-own-good, politically-correct liberals out there who somehow have convinced themselves that it is okay for persons to ILLEGALLY enter America across the US/Mexico border.

      I agree with Trump – build the wall. In any other country, if you are found to have illegally entered that country, you are deported. If you enter any Caribbean country illegally and the police of that C/bean country catch you, you will be deported.

      Donald Trump – the lesser of the two evils. Hope he wins the US presidency.

        Build a wall! Give me a break. If the Indians built a wall way back then no one of European decent Including Trump would be here in America. We have to realize that America is everyone’s land it belongs to no one. Sadly to get in you need papers. But many of the people who are oppressing the poor about papers came illegally and stole the land from the Indians. In addition, Some leave the US go to the Caribbean without being born there but now own land in the Caribbean and most likely for cheap. Most Mexicans come here to better their lives. For those who sell drugs etc it is ok to deport and keep them out but not the average person looking for work. Thank God when each of you die you can’t take a bit of America with you.

        Hillary Clinton voted for building walls as Senator. She is another Trump.

    • June 10, 2016

      The problem with Clinton is that when she promises things like that she’s lying, and the problem with Trump is that when he promises things like that he’s telling the truth.

      Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate, is the only sane choice in the race. He’s fiscally responsible and socially tolerant, and as a former two term governor of a border state, he’s more qualified than either of the Wall Street party candidates. He’s polling around 11% now, if he makes it to 15% then he’ll be in the debates and anything could happen.

        Trump is not the right candidate as Trump speaks without any thought process. His debate answers are not in depth. All he talks is about a wall. Why would Mexico want to build a wall with their money to keep them from coming to the US? I’m still trying to understand that one. And if a wall is built watch out there will be tunnels like the one El Chapo and his friends dug to get them into the US. All American Allies will run if Trump becomes President. Presidency is not all talk but action and until you are in the pot you do not know how you will react. So until trump knows the White House and the issues that have to be dealt with he can’t say what he will do. Learn from Obama he is a good example. Mouth can say much.
