I've been thinking lately about how Obama would be involved this year. His approval rating is good enough right now to make appearances. It'll be interesting to see if he can still pull in big crowds. Unless he makes a major flub or his popularity drops, I think he helps more than hurts. He could help increase turn out by those who aren't excited about Clinton and among his core demos who supported him the last 8 years. Those against him likely have already decided against him by now and won't be voting for the democratic nominee anyway.
If anyone could deflect Trump, it's Obama. He needs to play it cool and level headed. Even if swing voters don't like some of his policies, he at least has a likable personality when he remains positive/joking around.
