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 US president.

Obama will make clear that Clinton is now the “torchbearer” of the Democratic Party, the administration officials said.
Fifty-one percent of registered voters say they approve of the job Obama is doing as president, while 43 percent disapprove. “That’s the Hillary I know”.
But by the time 2016 rolled around, Watson was “with her” – that is, Hillary Clinton.
“I can say with confidence there has never been a man or a woman – not me, not Bill, nobody – more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president of the United States of America”. An extremely ineffective President would be vastly less awful than a President Hillary Clinton would be.
Fortunately for them both, Trump presents such a radical departure from anything the political system has seen that he has vastly simplified Obama’s task.
“College costs are out of control, because the colleges say ‘What difference does it make?'” Trump continued.
“How there be pleasure in saying, “You’re fired”?”
“He is trying to tell us he cares about the middle class. Give me a break”.
The second vice chairwoman of the Berkeley County Democratic Party and a high school teacher, Watson said eight years ago it was hard for her to choose between the two Democratic front-runners for the party’s presidential ticket.
Vice President Joe Biden offered powerful criticism of Donald Trump Wednesday, painting the Republican nominee as completely unqualified for the presidency.
“Today, Donald Trump today once again took Russia’s side”.
The Republican nominee caused howls of outrage Wednesday, with a reference to thousands of Clinton emails held on a private server that were deleted. But I know what she is passionate about. Not merely the political legacy of his economic stimulus, his healthcare law and his energy projects, but – more important – the legacy of his battered but still lovely 2012 dream of One America. “Think about that”, Panetta said.
“As someone who was responsible for protecting our nation from cyberattacks, it’s inconceivable to me that any presidential candidate would be that irresponsible”.
“This morning, this very morning, (Trump) invited Russian Federation to hack us”.
Democrats had “put the biggest crack” yet in the glass ceiling for women, she said in a video message to the convention.
The White House says Obama has been working on the roughly 30-minute speech for weeks. They also were contributing more than they were to Clinton’s campaign, to each of the Republican Presidential campaigns of: “John Kasich, Scott Walker, Ben Carson, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and (the most of all, to) Jeb Bush”. Obama’s keynote speech could be the final chance of his presidency to address a crowd of millions of people before a prime-time television audience.
The economy has improved, with more Americans returning to work after the Great Recession.

The four-day confab in Philadelphia – the City of Brotherly Love – has so far been somewhat less than fraternal, with disappointed Sanders supporters periodically disrupting the proceedings with boos.
