The use of the “America I know” refrain was also a common phrase for former president George W Bush.
The president went hard in the paint as he went head-on after Trump, a contentious candidate who was most recently in the news for encouraging the Russians (or Chinese; he wasn’t picky) to hack Hillary Clinton’s emails.
Khan: “Trump, have you even read the U.S. constitution?”
“He wants to divide us from the rest of the world and from each other”, Clinton told the Democratic convention, mocking Trump’s claim that he alone can “fix” the country.
“Imagine him in the Oval Office facing a real crisis”, she said.
For months Clinton has been criticized for the fact that her campaign (and its message) do not fit nicely onto a bumper sticker.
Hillary Clinton, a US senator from 2001 to 2009, lost the Democratic presidential nomination to Obama in 2008 and then became his secretary of state, serving in that role until 2013.

From Politifact: President Barack Obama squarely denounced Donald Trump’s portrayal of the United States as lawless and weak, saying he is ready to pass the baton off to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton to build on the country’s progress.
“I have heard you, your cause is our cause”, she said, “our country needs your ideas, energy and passion”.
“It truly is up to us.We have to decide whether we will all work together so we can all rise together”, Clinton said in an address on the final night of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
“We will strike their sanctuaries from the air, and support local forces taking them out on the ground”, she said.
Trump once said, “I love the poorly educated”, and according to the survey, he has an advantage with voters over the age of 65 who did not attend college, leading Clinton 49 percent to 33 percent.
“I get it that some people just don’t know what to make of me”, she said, describing herself as a person who “sweats the details”, another contrast with Trump, who says he doesn’t.
His appearance at the Democratic National Convention marked Obama’s most significant effort to stump for the former secretary of state, who he defeated during a contentious primary race in 2008.
Clinton is now viewed favorably by 43 percent of voters while 39 percent have a favorable impression of Trump. “But I’m here to tell you tonight, progress is possible”.
