“We believe in the American Dream”.

In a fiery speech Wednesday at the Democratic National Convention, Vice President Joe Biden lauded Hillary Clinton, took aim at Donald Trump and discussed the “unbreakable spirit of America”.
“He tries to say he cares about the middle class. Give me a break; that’s a bunch of malarkey”, he said as the crowd cheered. We simply can not let that happen as Americans.
He vouched for Hillary, saying that this election will have a major impact on the lives of young girls in the USA and that it will change their lives once she becomes the President.
Biden also had harsh words for Donald Trump.
Tonight, Biden found a way to use that pride against Trump.
Unafraid of showing vulnerability, Biden mentioned his late son, Beau, who died last year; his overwhelming grief was the reason, he had said, he did not run for president this year.
For once, the liberals are the ones casting themselves as the “real Americans”. He also noted President Obama as an honorable president with high character.
Biden closed out the speech discussing his losses throughout his vice presidency.
Obama said Clinton is respected around the world not just by leaders, but by the people they serve.
In applying the term to Putin, Biden is disparaging the leader of a country that, while often at odds with the United States, has also been a key partner on issues like Iran’s denuclearization and the fight against ISIS in Syria. Enough. It’s time to take Washington back from the gun lobby.
Twelve years to the day after his 2004 convention speech that launched him onto the national stage, Obama will have the opportunity to revisit the themes of national unity and bipartisanship that he embraced as a candidate for Senate in IL. “Or does he recognize that Russia’s greatness does not depend on violating the territorial integrity and sovereignty of other countries?”
Here a few of Obama’s strongest takedowns.
“That’s how he came of age”. “Those were his formative experiences”.
Whatever he thinks, whatever he thinks and I mean this from the bottom of my heart.
Great speech. And we made it easy for him. “It’s not new to her”, he said. “Anything’s possible”, he said.
“Malik asked me for money when we requested for an interview a few days before his brother landed here previous year”.
Russia, for its part, has denied allegations that it was involved with the DNC hack and trying to sway the U.S. vote.
In a term evidently aimed at Donald Trump, President Obama said Wednesday night that “homegrown demagogues” – along with fascists, communists and jihadists – threaten American values but would ultimately fail.

This speech came just hours after Trump made a call to Russian Federation to hack into USA servers and release Hillary Clinton’s emails. He said Thursday that the comment was sarcastic. And that’s one reason why nearly every country on Earth sees America as stronger and more respected today than they did eight years ago. “We simply can not let that happen as Americans, period”, Biden said amid applause from thousands of Democratic party delegates, leaders and supporters, which was being viewed nationally by millions. “She is fit to be the next Commander-in-Chief”, he asserted.
