Obama: Hillary Clinton Would Be An 'Excellent President'

PANAMA CITY (AP) — President Barack Obama says he thinks Hillary Rodham Clinton would be "an excellent president."

Clinton is expected to launch her long-anticipated second run for president on Sunday with an online video.

Obama says Clinton was a formidable candidate against him when they competed for the Democratic nomination in 2008.

He says she became a great supporter of his in the general election that year, and that she was an outstanding secretary of state during his first term.

Says Obama: "I think she would be an excellent president."

He adds that Clinton will have strong messages to deliver if she does decide to run.
