JAKARTA - The alignment of a head of state is not a new item in the Presidential Election of the United States (US). President Barack Obama did this during the 2017 presidential election. He gave the blessing of politician Hillary Clinton as the successor.

Obama, who in fact was in the same party 'Democratic Party' with Hillary to the point of going down the mountain, became a campaigner (commissioned). This condition made him participate in attacking Republican challenger Hillary, Donald Trump. Obama even called Trump unfit to be US President.

The neutrality of the head of state is often upheld in political contestations like the presidential election. The narrative is echoed by many countries in the world so that the presidential election can take place honestly and fairly. However, not for superpowers like the US.

Netrality is actually inferior to something called democracy. Anyone who becomes a US citizen in 50 states can freely support their idol. This fact was shown in the implementation of the 2017 presidential election.

President Obama and the Democratic Party have been turned around to support one of the two presidential candidates. First, Bernie Sanders, who is known as an accomplished politician. Second, Hillary Rodham Clinton, who served as US Secretary of State from 2009-2013.

Obama and his party should not make the wrong choice. Because, choosing the wrong choice would be the same as bringing the Democratic Party into the brink of defeat. Long reflection finally ended when the Democratic Party chose Hillary as a presidential candidate.

Obama later declared his support for Hillary Clinton in June 2016. Obama did not want to compare Hillary to Sanders. However, Obama actually said that Hillary was the right person to replace him in leading the US.

Hillary is described as a qualified state official. Moreover, the wife of former US President Bill Clinton is not new to politics. He has also served as a senator. Obama can't wait to be part of the campaigner for the former US First Lady of the 1993-2001 era. If Obama's support has a big influence, Hillary will scratch new history as the first woman to become US number one.

"Look, I know how difficult this job is. That's why I know Hillary will be very good at it (leading the country). In fact, I don't think I've ever known anyone who is so qualified (as Hillary) to hold this position".

"He has the heart, courage, and affection to finish his job. And I say it as someone who has to argue with him more than 20 times," Obama explained as quoted by Julie Hirschfeld Davis and Jonathan Martin in his writings on The New York Times page titled Obama Endorses Hillary Clinton, and Urges Democrats to Unity (2016).

President Obama's totality in supporting Hillary is starting to appear. He didn't want to be half-hearted in providing support. Instead of just campaigning for Democrat followers and sympathizers to choose Hillary alone, Obama actually actively attacked the opposition candidate from the Republican Party, Donald Trump.

Obama considers Trump's way of raising conservative views of anti LGBT and anti-immigrants - deemed unfit to lead the US. In fact, Obama considers Trump's inappropriate leadership capacity to be a common secret. The US side knows that Trump is not worthy, he said.

This condition is exacerbated by Trump's knowledge which is often limited around critical issues. Obama believes the stripe is open to Trump himself. Every day if Trump is given the opportunity to speak, then blunders and mistakes will be something that must be spoken.

Take for example Trump's desire to prohibit Muslims from entering the US and racist sentiments towards blacks. The collaboration further made Obama believe Trump was not the right figure. In fact, Obama revealed that he would not vote for Trump, even if he came from the same party.

This condition made Obama confident that the US people could distinguish between a leader who has seriousness and which contains only ambitions. Obama also urged the US side to be able to elect a presidential candidate who can increase people's lives: Hillary Clinton.

"Yes, I think Republican candidates (Donald Trump) are not worthy of being president. I said it last week (at the national convention of the Democratic Party), and Trump continues to prove that he is not worthy".

Trump's idea of attacking theGGD Star family (as it is called for a relative of relatives who died in service), who have made tremendous sacrifices on behalf of our country is not justified. This is a fact that he does not seem to have basic knowledge about critical issues. Whether it's in Europe, in the Middle East, or in Asia. This means that he is not ready to become President of the US," Obama said as quoted by David Smith and Ben Jacobs in his article on The Guardian' Unfit to be President' page: Obama Hammers Trump with Harshest Comments Yet (2016).
