He's said good things about all of them at one time or another.
He made it clear early last year that he'll wait until the Democratic candidate is decided by voters and then he'll campaign hard for the Democratic nominee in the general election cycle. I haven't seen him deviate from that commitment.
Alas, I was mistaken. (I usually am, which is why I tend to stay out of the political threads). One of the political ads that Warren has been throwing at us for the past week has Obama in the background, praising the shit out of her.
