It’s a night typically headlined by the vice presidential candidate, but it was Obama who took the stage last, ticking off the accomplishments of his legacy and presidency. “Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it”. “We do not scare easily”, he said.
As for the speech Trump delivered at the Republican National Convention last week? Still, he told the crowd not to boo at the mention of the GOP nominee’s name.
Seeking to offset possible weariness with a politician who has been in the spotlight for decades, he said of Clinton: “She’s been there for us, even if we haven’t always noticed”.

While Clinton and President Barack Obama have argued that ISIS is on the run, the economy is on the upswing, and Americans are safer than they have been in years, they are struggling to counter the dark image that Trump has painted of a nation in decline, chaos and disorder.

“I have confidence, as I leave this stage tonight, that the Democratic Party is in good hands”, Obama said as he closed.
“It’s gonna be great – believe me!” “I’ve told Hillary and I’ll tell you what picks me back up every single time, it’s been you – the American people”.
