“It was America is broken and I can fix it”. How can I not be?

“We’ve been consumed with crisis after crisis after crisis”, he said.
PHILADELPHIA – President Barack Obama painted an optimistic picture of America’s future in a rousing speech on Wednesday that offered full-hearted support to Hillary Clinton in her campaign to defeat Republican Donald Trump and become the first woman elected USA president.
But the outcome of this election could depend on whether Americans share Obama’s hope and optimism or believe the more gloomy vision that Trump presented in his speech at the Republican National Convention last week is more accurate.
“What we heard in Cleveland last week wasn’t particularly Republican – and it sure wasn’t conservative”.
“There were no serious solutions to pressing problems, just the fanning of resentment and blame and anger and hate”.
On the heels of reports that Russian Federation may have hacked Democratic Party emails, Trump said, “Russia, if you’re listening”, he’d like to see Moscow find the thousands of emails Clinton says she deleted during her years as secretary of state. “America isn’t about ‘yes he will.’ It’s about ‘yes we can.’ And we’re going to carry Hillary to victory this fall, because that’s what the moment demands”, Obama said. “But Hillary’s been in the room; she?s been part of those decisions”, he said.
“Even in the middle of crisis, she listens to people, and keeps her cool, and treats everybody with respect”, he said.
Today is the final day of the Democratic National Convention, and with some of the biggest political players – President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and Sen.
The headliners all built up their case before Clinton made a surprise visit on stage after Obama’s speech. “Best president ever”, someone screamed.

Obama devoted a large portion of his speech to bash Trump.
Over the past couple of days, Donald Trump has really hammered the Democrats, saying, where’s the conversation about ISIS? “Not really a facts guy, either”. “But as I’ve traveled this country, through all fifty states, as I’ve rejoiced with you and mourned with you, what I’ve also seen, more than anything, is what is right with America”, Obama said in his excerpts of the speech. At about the same time, Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence, declared there would be “serious consequences” if Russian Federation interfered in US politics. She’s been caricatured by the right and by some folks on the left; accused of everything you can imagine – and some things you cannot.
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has attracted celebrity supporters, who have turned out to support her at the DNC in Philadelphia this week. “But after it was all over, I asked Hillary to join my team”.
The President said during the time when Clinton was his Secretary of State, he had a “front-row seat to her intelligence, her judgment, and her discipline”.
Wednesday night in Philadelphia, President Obama proved once again that he is one of the best orators to take the political stage, as he extolled his accomplishments, accused Republican Donald Trump of being unfit for the presidency and argued that Hillary Clinton – “not me, not Bill, nobody” – is the most qualified person ever to seek the White House.
That would mean that the closeness in the polls could be an indication that Mrs Clinton might well pull off the historic feat of becoming the 45th president of the United States of America. “I ask you to carry her the same way you carried me”, he said.

Having fought his own bad-tempered primary against Clinton eight years ago, Obama could offer potent testimony about how a rival became an ally and trusted advisor.
