On Saturday, President Obama gave a glowing endorsement to his former rival-turned-ally Hillary Clinton at a press conference in Panama City. This comes the day before she’s expected to launch her candidacy for president.

Obama opined,

The one thing I can say is she’s going to be able to handle herself very well in any conversations or debates around foreign policy, and her track record with respect to domestic policy is one that cares about working families.

If she decides to run, if she’s going to make an announcement, she’s going to have some strong messages to deliver.

She was a formidable candidate in 2008. She was a great supporter of mine in the general election. She was an outstanding Secretary of State.

She is my friend. I think she would be an excellent president.

As the country waits for Clinton to officially throw her hat into the ring, last night, Saturday Night Live poked fun at her recent email scandal and reputation for being the most ambitious woman in American politics.
