President of the United States, Barack Obama, has urged the people of America to sustain his legacy by carrying Hillary Clinton to victory at the November elections.
Speaking at the Democratic convention in Philadelphia, President Obama lauded Mrs Clinton as the most qualified aspirant ever to run for the White House.
He said that the electorates faced a choice between hope and fear, attacking “home-grown demagogue” Republican, Mr Donald Trump.
Mr Obama recalled his crucial achievements as America’s President since the past eight years and hoped for a bright future.
He praised Mrs Clinton’s character, painting her a “leader with real plans to break down barriers, blast through glass ceilings and widen the circle of opportunity to every single American”.
The US President, who also described his nation as “full of courage” as well as “decent and generous”, expressed concerned about racial divisions and “frustrated with political gridlock”.
The Republican candidate, Trump swiftly took to his Twitter account to reject Obama’s optimistic portrayal.
Our country does not feel ‘great already’ to the millions of wonderful people living in poverty, violence and despair.
