Obama is helping Biden.

Ive always seen past president keep their opinions to themselves, for the most part after their term, and they remain fairly quiet.

Yes ....

The Marxist Revolution this Great Nation is facing today is certainly unprecedented.

About ten minutes ago, Trump was doing a speech in Penn. I had two tabs open, both on FB, and on FB, Trumps speech was getting about double the views.

Why President Obama Campaigning For Clinton Is Historic

Looking back at the last century of presidents, none has strongly campaigned for his chosen successor.

www.npr.org

Obama broke the mold with Hillary, but the reasons most others haven't isn't because they were "minding their own business." Interesting read.

Obama is a community activist at his core. Of course he's going to get out there and fight. It's who he is.

I believe the predecessor being younger than the candidate is unprecedented, but I was actually wondering why George W. wasn't campaigning for Trump! Embarrassed?

Jimmy Carter campaigned for Walter Mondale.

Also this: Clinton Hits Campaign Trail for Gore


After months of pained conversations about what President Clinton should do in the final week of the campaign, Vice President Gore's aides finally told the White House it was fine with them for the president to rally Democrats at a shopping mall here.

But the permission slip at first came with an odd request: Try to keep the crowd from getting too big.

Today On The Campaign Trail: George H.W. Bush To Endorse Romney

The former Massachusetts governor has now gotten the support of most of the Bush family. Former President George W. Bush, though, has not yet weighed in.

Your research skills suck. As does your memory.

I was looking at new polling numbers that are coming out and suburban women have come back to Trump by about 42%. Latinos are voting for Trump +61% in the south and by 46% in the Midwest. Blacks are voting for Trump at about 38% in the south and 24% in the Midwest...

IF these numbers from the Trafalga Group are accurate Biden is going to lose in a land slide. And from what I can tell the Biden campaign is in shear panic this morning... The early voting was supposed to be 2-1 for democrats but its only 1-1 and those who go to the polls are usually 3-1 Republicans... The lead the democrats thought they had did not materialize and now things aint looking so good for them...

The enthusiasm gap is about to bury Biden....

So, what you are saying is that 4 years of his attempting a coup against a duly elected President is just who he is?

Hey, we agree!!

So it seems this was an appearance for an endorsement, and not physically out and about rallying.

We will soon have a very accurate number... Then we will see who will be laughing....

I do apologize for my incompetence, but I cant find any examples of another past president that was actually participating in appearances, on the campaign trail stage with an actual candidate.
