Quote Of The Day - POTUS Is Ready For Hillary

As she prepares to formally announce her candidacy for President today, Hillary Clinton got a nice boost from President Obama, who had this to say yesterday from the Summit of the Americas in Panama:

“I think she would be an excellent president. She was a formidable candidate in 2008, she was a great supporter of mine in the general election, she was an outstanding secretary of state, she is my friend. The one thing I can say is, she's going to be able to handle herself very well in any conversation or debates around foreign policy. And her track record with respect to domestic policies is I think one that cares about working families."

Gracious and on-point.  Well done.

Ready For Hillary?

The long-anticipated announcement will reportedly take place noon Sunday, EDT:

Hillary Clinton plans to announce her widely anticipated presidential campaign Sunday, CNN reported Friday.

An anonymous source close to the nascent Clinton campaign told CNN that the former secretary of state will launch her 2016 bid in a video on social media.

Clinton is expected to begin campaign travel immediately afterwards, with a likely first stop in Iowa, the source told CNN.

Now we'll see if lessons from the 2008 campaign have been learned.  Let's hope so for all our sakes.
