Barack Obama is here to remind voters: Do nut give up!
The former president was greeted with a roaring round of applause at a Wexton field office in Fairfax County, Virginia, on Monday, when he surprised a group of hard-working volunteers and campaign staffers with boxes of Sugar Shack doughnuts.
And the sweet treats were “especially approved” by his wife and former first lady Michelle Obama!
“She knows all of you have been working so hard,” Obama told the group of 60 people, as seen in video shared by ABC News.
The former commander-in-chief was visiting the offices of Senator Tim Kaine and Jennifer Wexton, the Democratic candidate running in Virginia’s 10th Congressional District.
“You’ve been moving, so you’re allowed to have a little, little treat,” Obama added before Kaine joked, “Either this crowd likes you or they like doughnuts.”
In addition to bringing doughnuts, Obama gave out some words of encouragement.
“You vote, you might save a life; that’s pretty rare when that happens. … The character of this country is on the ballot,”
“Who we are is on the ballot. What kind of politics we expect is on the ballot. How we conduct ourselves in public life is on the ballot. How we treat other people is on the ballot.”

I thought Obama was supposed to be the one fetching the coffee, not the doughnuts.

Delivering do-nuts to campaign workers?

Stewart has run a weak campaign against that moron, Kaine, plus he had little backing from the national GOPe.
All he had to do was show some clips of Kaine as Hellary’s sidekick to remind everyone in Virginia what a dolt he is.
I will be very surprised if Stewart can pull off a win.

I’m sure Michelle, without any qualms, kept all the best donuts for herself.
