2. Awesome, great class by Obama!

As a Hillary supporter and now Obama supporter as well I appreciate that! Such a class act.

3. I'm sure he is...

It's been a long, hard road, with some unpleasantness between them...

But now, her words have started to heal both of them!

I'd be relieved too, if I were in his place...

5. I'm thrilled with her speech!

6. Great. I see he is honoring Hillary, and she appears to have a starring role....

Meanwhile, I'm sure a pic of Obama will be popping up on her site shortly.

7. Text of statement from Obama to supporters

On Obama's website:

Senator Clinton made history over the past 16 months -- not just because she has broken barriers, but because she has inspired millions of Americans with her strength, her courage, and her commitment to causes like universal health care that make a difference in the lives of hardworking Americans.

Take a minute to thank her for her hard work and for supporting this campaign.

The email to his supporters reiterates the same message.

8. Isn't it a little ironic...

...that Bill Clinton had to to overcome troubles with wooing younger women near the end of his presidency, and Barack Obama has to overcome troubles with wooing older women near the start of his?

Sorry. Sometimes I can't help myself.

[VolcanoJen]

14. Oh, I have to admit...

... that I giggled inappropriately. :-)

[Youphemism]

9. I can't wait until they appear together

It would also be pretty cool to see Chelsea with Obama's daughters on the stage!

Oh god, I just read that posters on Taylor Marsh are mad because Obama is playing golf today. Whatever, I'm sure that's just spillover from the Hillary is 44 crowd. Wasn't it made clear that this was a day for her supporters? It was a day for the democratic party as well, and there will be plenty more to come.

edit: Hmmm, the republican talking point on tv right now seems to also be "he was golfing!" Does that give us any hints :)

12. Hillary needed to be with her people alone today---Good for Barack to relax...

Both Hillary and Barack did the right thing today. There is time later for joint appearances..
