Weve come a long way. Still, eight years after that historic night in Des Moines, theres so much left to do. And Americans still need a president who will wake up every day, prepared to overcome any obstacle on their behalf.
Hillary Clinton should and I believe will be that president.

In a statement published on Medium, Plouffe poked fun at their past history, writing, Now, to be honest, during the most intense days of the 2008 primary, I would never have imagined writing this piece. And I doubt Team Clinton felt any differently about me.
But heres what I, and so many of my fellow Obama campaign veterans, have learned about Hillary:
She doesnt quit. And there were times I wish she had! But you have to deeply admire that strength and persistence. From the moment she went to work for the Childrens Defense Fund out of law school, shes been working to make peoples lives better as an advocate for women and kids, as First Lady of the United States, as U.S. Senator for New York, and as a truly exceptional Secretary of State a job she showed courage and patriotism to accept after such a tough campaign. Weve all benefited from her service to America, and I believe we will benefit most of all from the eight remaining years of service she intends to provide the country.
She will fight to further economic policies that put economic opportunity for those in the middle class and those fighting to join it. You wont find anyone in this race more determined than Hillary to make sure every single American has a fair shot to live up to their potential. And you wont find anyone more prepared, more diligent, with more detailed plans for exactly how to make it happen from removing costs as a barrier to college to raising incomes and making sure all Americans have the skills they need to get a good job.

who understands that Sanders talks a good talk, but Hillary Clinton can and will walk the walk - carrying a BIG STICK for Republicans.
