Omg, I can't believe how much better I feel already!

Sent Joe money this morning. Spent bucks at USPS yesterday. Privileged to be able to.

I would - as they say - crawl through broken glass to elect Joe!

And if there is any funny business, I don't think they will get away with it this time.

Which is not to say they won't try - along with Putin's help.

Great leader he, whose country is on fire near a nuclear reactor....

Inspiring and politically brilliant as well. And a reminder of what a real president should and can be. I sure miss him.

I miss his face before the country, but am comforted to know he's still around.

One good thing, maybe -- Obama is probably able to make more happen out of the spotlight than in it.

This was much, much more than an olive branch! I know at least one Bernie fan who is still sore about his announcement last week. Hopefully, President Obama's words will help heal those wounds and encourage her -- and others -- to actively support the Democratic candidate, Vice President Joe Biden.

Obama, Biden, Sanders, Harris, Warren, Klobuchar, Democratic governors Inslee, Cuomo, Newsom, Pritzker, Whitmer, and Democratic House from Pelosi and Schiff to the Squad to so many others I just can't remember.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned as a country from moments of great crisis, it’s that the American spirit of looking out for one another can’t be restricted to our homes, or our workplaces, or our neighborhoods, or our houses of worship. It also has to be reflected in our national government. The kind of leadership that’s guided by knowledge and experience; honesty and humility; empathy and grace – that kind of leadership doesn’t just belong in our state capitols and mayors offices. It belongs in the White House.

That’s why I’m so proud to endorse Joe Biden for President of the United States.

Choosing Joe to be my Vice President was one of the best decisions I ever made. He’s got the character and the experience to guide us through one of our darkest times and heal us through a long recovery. And he’ll surround himself with good people – experts, scientists, and military officials who actually know how to run the government, work with our allies, and always put the American people’s interests above their own.

Right now, we need Americans of goodwill to unite in a great awakening against a politics that too often has been characterized by corruption, carelessness, self-dealing, disinformation, ignorance, and meanness. And to change that, we need Americans of all political stripes to get involved in our politics and public life like never before.

For those of us who believe in building a more just, more generous, more democratic America where everybody has a fair shot at opportunity, who believe in a government that cares about the many, and not just the few, who love this country and are willing to do our part to make sure it lives up to its highest ideals – now’s the time to fight for what we believe in.

And I’ve got a lot more to say about why Joe should be President in the video. I hope you give it a watch. Then I hope you’ll join us at JoeBiden.com and make a plan for how you’re going to get involved.

We all need to do our part and work together to put Joe Biden in the White House, increase our control of the House and take control of the Senate this fall.

I rarely have tears in my eyes, but when I do it's because of President Obama. Friends have reported I had tears watching his inauguration 11 years ago.

This is probably the only year in our history when we will be able to use the phrase 2020 Vision! And we do desperately need a man of vision for President! And Joe Biden certainly does seem to have vision for uniting our country! Maybe we could play that song: "We can see clearly now. The rain is gone!" After all, we would be striking a great blow against the GOP trickle-down scam.
