Feb 2016

true..

"Obama didn't mention either of the Democratic candidates, his former rival and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. But his legacy depends on one of them winning the White House, with both promising to build upon Obama's work."

Only Hillary has said she will build on the President's legacy. The other candidate has said just the opposite.

So many reporters show they're just not paying attention.

This is so momentous.. the President going back to Springfield, Illinois and give a brilliant speech on how far we've come. I love that he's using 2016 to protect his legacy that everyone worked so hard for.

He's not going to let anyone destroy it. My money is on President Obama.. he's earned my trust.
