Obama touts Clinton’s qualifications in convention speech
“And I promise you, our strength, our greatness, does not depend on Donald Trump”. “I ask you to carry her the same way you carried me”, he said.

“She was doing everything I was doing, but just like Ginger Rogers, backwards and in heels”. A commentator on Quartz.com joked that Bloomberg had just handed Clinton her new campaign slogan: Sane and Competent. On the heels of reports that Russian Federation may have hacked Democratic Party emails, Trump said, “Russia, if you’re listening”, it would be desirable to see Moscow find and publish the thousands of emails Clinton says she deleted during her years as secretary of state. “The threats are too great, the times too uncertain to let Donald Trump be president of the United States”. Because he’s selling the American people short. “We are not a fragile or frightful people”, he insisted. “Because we lead by not only by the example of our power, but by the power of our example”. We don’t look to be ruled.
Back in 2010, President Obama said to a crowd in Cleveland, Ohio: “That is not the America I know”. America is already strong. Even more biting? That Bloomberg – whose self-made personal fortune is much greater than that of Republican nominee Donald Trump’s – wore a hue historically associated with royalty while telling his audience, “I built a business. America isn’t about ‘Yes he will.’ It’s about ‘Yes we can'”. “How can there be pleasure in saying ‘You’re fired!’?”
Joe Biden. The vice president with the average-Joe touch rammed a pickup-truck-sized hole in Donald Trump’s claim to be the champion of the middle class. “He’s trying to tell us he cares about the middle class?” Give me a break. That’s a bunch of malarkey! He wants to fire the politicians who pushed the policies that got the middle class fired.
By and large, baby-boomer females see a Clinton presidency as a critical milestone, but for younger women and millennials, there’s less a sense of urgency to elect a woman now, said Kelly Dittmar, a research scholar at the Center for American Women and Politics.
“Let’s elect a sane competent person with global experience”, he said as he endorsed Hillary Clinton.
He was preceded on the podium by Vice President Joe Biden, Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. “I’m so proud of you”.
“And now, I’m ready to pass the baton”, he said, shortly before Clinton joined him on stage.
“Middle-Class” Joe’s speech was one that described a journey that “could only happen in America”.
Though Obama pulled the US out of recession doldrums, many Americans struggling financially feel left behind.
Clinton says people are “soon going to understand” why Kaine is so popular in Virginia, which he represents in the Senate.
“My son’s last words were, ‘We mean you no harm.’ Tywanza”. “As of right now, two days after the nomination, that’s where I’m at”. “It is deadly serious”, he said.
Then the Vice President turned to his assessment of Donald Trump, which was not as flattering.
In making his case, the upbeat, hope-filled President, of course, used the speech as an opportunity to attack Trump’s character and his dystopia vision of American that only he could fix. Think about that for a moment.
Hillary Clinton says the United States has the most dynamic and diverse people in the world – and the most powerful military.

A month later, Twitter user Rulon James Downard wrote of Trump, “he’s a homegrown demagogue, in the tradition of Rush Limbaugh or Father Coughlin”.
