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.
This election, Obama said, is “not just a choice between parties or policies; the usual debates between left and right. This is a more fundamental choice – about who we are as a people, and whether we stay true to this great American experiment in self-government.”

And does she not even have her own teeth?! Is that a huge bridge?
If so I’m surprised she hasn’t spit it out while cackling.
As an old guy who still works, it sort of pisses me off that almost fifty percent of “we” don’t even pay taxes. KMA Obonzo. That’s who I am and I’m not one of your “we”.
Obama would not pass a meat baton and Hillary would not want it.

The mark of the Beast.
The feckless fool on the hill is ready to pass something to another feckless fool with cankles. Who the hell gives you that privilege feckless fool?
He shook every one of their hands, took a group photo and some selfies. Smiles all around. Mutual respect.
with Hillary, especially in this photo, I could well imagine those on the plane prying her with alcohol to make fun of her and make sure the picture they got could possibly humiliate her.
Quite a contrast in this most important election!
Just when I think it’s not possible to hate that pøs more than I already do, I’m proven wrong.
YES! That’s perfect.
“This is a more fundamental choice – about who we are as a people, and whether we stay true to this great American experiment in self-government.”
And “we, the people” can tell truth from lies and will elect Trump, as the next president of the US.
Thank you for that laugh....”I’d rather he pass a kidney stone!”
Herpes ulcer from Huma?
Anyone remind him that it’s not his call, it’s ours?
Some who were interviewed said they are paid $60 per day to be there to support the left at the convention, black lives matter, occupy wall street. This is what they do for a living.
Talked to our financial guru in Denver today. He doesn’t agree but said most big banks and investment firms think it would be better, for the stock market, to have Hillary or Jeb as president. They don’t want to rock the boat.
Well, this isn’t just about our stock portfolio. This is about the future of this country for our kids and grandkids. It is bad enough that we are $20 trillion in debt already!!!
You beat me to it!
Son of Muslim, Burack Hussein Obama has already hacked into Hillary’s emails and knows where the bodies are buried. So yes, he will play Hillary like a puppet.
Worst president ever.
The next time she laughs hard like that I hope her teeth come flying out.
