10 Delegates to Go; Thank You, Maxine!
Barack Obama needs 10 more delegates to hit the magic number for the nomination!
AND, Maxine Waters switched her endorsement from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama. Thank you, Maxine. This Californian appreciates the gesture toward party unity.
Chicago, IL – Today, Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) endorsed Barack Obama for President. Waters switched her endorsement from Clinton to Obama citing his ability to unite the country and leadership on issues such as the housing crisis and war in Iraq.
Throughout this primary election, I have witnessed two extraordinary candidates champion the concerns that matter most to the American people. As an outspoken advocate on issues critical to women and children, I have great admiration for Senator Clinton and know first-hand her commitment to our country.
However, our nation is at crossroads. Now is the time for us to unite so that real change is possible in November. Today, I am endorsing Senator Barack Obama because I firmly believe that he embodies the judgment and conviction necessary to bring about change that will make a difference in the lives of all Americans.
On issue after issue, from ending the disastrous war in Iraq, to addressing the housing crisis to making healthcare affordable for every working family, Barack Obama offers bold leadership that will put our nation back on the right path after the eight years of failed policies of George W. Bush.
That is the choice we face in November, and that is why I am supporting Barack Obama for President.
