The Article
So, it won't let me copy paste. However, you can find the article via hillaryclinton.com Go to the newsroom tab and click on endorsements! You'll find it there.
That was the weakest endorsement I've ever read. They basically said Obama and Hillary are pretty much the same, but just vote for Hillary. It almost seems like the endorsement is the result of the Clinton's ties to NYC. They even mentioned that Obama would be a good president. You would think they would make a stronger case for Hillary and a stronger case AGAINST Obama. I think Obama takes the nomination if he isn't assassinated or the result of a vicious smear campaign. If the former happens I will seriously lose faith in this country entirely.
I wish they would allow you to edit rather than delete ha.
Oh and I found this funny:
"Domestically, Mrs. Clinton has tackled complex policy issues, sometimes failing. She has shown a willingness to learn and change. Her current proposals on health insurance reflect a clear shift from her first, famously disastrous foray into the issue. She has learned that powerful interests cannot simply be left out of the meetings. She understands that all Americans must be covered - but must be allowed to choose their coverage, including keeping their current plans."
The only reason she has learned that "powerful interests" aka private insurance companies and their lobbyists can't be left out is because they spent billions to make her look like a dunce when she first tried for universal healthcare. She has actually taken endorsement money from said lobbyists. I think she is two-faced and execrable; nothing more than an elephant in donkey's clothing.
Obama/Biden Ticket in 2008 please. Biden should be president, but people don't like a person who is realistic and not the typical politician. He has been in Washington for 30+ years and for 30+ years has adamantly opposed taking money from lobbyists. Excellent foreign policy experience as well as sound domestic knowledge. He even uses public transportation to get to work. Biden would be the perfect guy to pair with Obama as both men like each other, care deeply about civil rights, and what Obama lacks in experience Biden makes up for (although Obama has over 10 years of experience if you count his time as a State legislator.)

Nevertheless, here is the link to the endorsement article: http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/release/view/?id=5585
