Is my memory bad, or is Obama campaigning much more actively and prominently than past presidents have done?

One reason you want the Democrats to win and keep/instill their cronies is immunity, either legally or reputationally. How many of his e-mails are in Huma's 650K "get out of jail" card? Obama was not committed to Slick Hilly at all until the very day Comey announced there would be no indictment. Now hes fully committed, for better or worse. Trump being a dickhead is also a very strong galvanizing factor.Barack Obama is about to launch a presidential campaign blitz for Hillary Clinton unprecedented in the modern era, pledging a dramatic commitment of time and resources to a contest he now unabashedly frames as a referendum on his personal and political prestige.
Obama plans to devote at least one to two days each week in October to campaign for Clinton through rallies, targeted radio and television interviews, social media outreach and fundraising, said an adviser who requested anonymity.
In addition, the president's aides have told the Clinton campaign he would be willing to appear in television ads for her. His wife, Michelle, has already cut radio, online and TV ads for the Democratic nominee, another aide said, also requesting anonymity to discuss internal planning.
Obama's involvement comes at a critical time, with enthusiasm for Clinton lagging behind support for Obama among the young people and minorities who helped power him to the presidency. At the start of the campaign, Clinton's camp once questioned how closely to embrace Obama but now her aides are eager to have his help.

I think what's really rich is he's targeting the youth and the colored for exploitation of their naivety. Are voter memories really that short that they all don't remember how screwed over they were/are by his non-existent "Change We Can Believe In"? Ught. I'm starting to think lately there's no rational thought or strain in politics at all; its all purely professional exploitation of emotional syllogisms (mental granfalloons).
