In the most recent New York Times article Obama Endorses Hillary Clinton, and Urges Democrats to Unite, Obama, the current president of United States, publicly announces his support of Hillary Clinton stating "I don't think there's ever been someone so qualified to hold this office.". In the article, Julie Hirschfeld Davis, the writer, brings attention to how this small announcement would affect many Americans in their views towards Clinton, and possibly even change their votes for Clinton. Although Obama may not have necessarily favored Clinton over Sanders, he realizes that she has won the democratic race and thus he must support her to finish the election. This article reveals that even our own leaders are controlled and pressured to act a certain way. In the 2008 election, Obama and Clinton seemed to have tension between them as they were running against each other, but why is Obama all of a sudden congratulating her on "making history" stating"I'm with her, I am fired up, and I cannot wait to get out there to campaign for Hillary."? This article allows the readers to notice our own leaders are also pressured and controlled to act a certain way, to speak a certain way, and to even fight a certain way.
