WASHINGTON (CBSDFW/AP) - President Barack Obama has officially endorsed Hillary Clinton, saying: "I don't think there's ever been someone so qualified to hold this office."

The endorsement came in a YouTube video not long after the President met with Clinton's chief Democratic rival Bernie Sanders.

Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump,  blasted President Obama's endorsement on twitter Thursday.

Following Trump's tweet, Clinton responded with a shot back at the presumptive republican nominee.
