Obama: you’ve got to vote for Hillary Clinton

Saying there’s never been a more qualified presidential candidate in American history than Hillary Clinton, the US President Barack Obama hit the campaign trail for the first time this election cycle before a raucous rally in a key swing state, and offered a resounding endorsement of his former secretary of state.

“I’m here for a simple reason. I’m here today because I believe in Hillary Clinton. And I want you to help elect her to be the next president of the United States of America,” The Washington Times cited the president as saying.

“I can tell you this, Hillary Clinton has been tested. There has never been any man or woman more qualified for this office. I always had to be on my game because she knew every fact, and she knew every detail. My faith in Hillary Clinton has always been rewarded,” the president said.
