(Newser) – Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama finally took a stage in support of the same candidate today—with Clinton asserting that it was time for the “36 million Americans who supported us” to stand in solidarity behind Obama, the Washington Post reports. "We are not going to rest until we take back our country," declared Clinton, adding, in a dig to the GOP reign, "think of the progress we have not made!”

That'll show 'em."  More »
