The president makes a forceful case for Clinton and warns against the threat of ‘homegrown demagogues.’
Twelve years after he first addressed a Democratic National Convention, and eight years after he became the first black presidential nominee of a major party, President Barack Obama President Barack Obama cast the election to succeed him as a “fundamental choice.”
Speaking on the penultimate night of the convention, Obama made a forceful case for his former rival. He’s not likely to have an audience like this again as president, and Obama soaked in the cheers from a party that, despite its divisions, remains enthralled by his charisma and vision.
Obama’s aides had said before the speech that it would be more of a positive testimonial for Hillary Clinton than anything else. But Obama also delivered a passionate indictment of Donald Trump, casting him as a menace whose positions aren’t just on the other side of the political spectrum, but on a different spectrum all together.

He wouldn’t need to pass it if he hadn’t shoved it in there in the first place.
Charisma? He has all the charisma of a boa constrictor eying a rat.
‘I’m ready to pass the baton’........
Give it to someone with evil intent towards you and see how that helps.
And those are a full set of upper dentures, too.
Uhhh...no thanks. You can keep it. We’ll buy our own.
What the hell is that hole in her tongue. Is it from a giant Wiccan piercing?
The fly is missing.
The permanent vacation begins (or should I say ‘continues’?). Except now he’ll have to live off the largess of friends and donors and not the taxpayer. Since he really has nothing to offer them I expect his living standard is going to take a major hit.
I wouldn’t touch that baton - there is no telling where it’s been...
“I’m ready to pass the baton”...
I’m ready for him to fall off the face of the planet.
I can see his little frail wrists twirling now.
It’s welded to the Buck.....
