President Barack Obama offered an optimistic vision of the country and a strong indictment of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump Wednesday night in a speech that also cast Hillary Clinton as the best candidate to carry on his legacy and complete his unfinished business.
"America is already great. America is already strong," he said during his speech to close out the Democratic National Convention. "And I promise you, our strength, our greatness, does not depend on Donald Trump."
It was a speech aimed at both defending his legacy and "passing the baton" to Clinton, while unifying Democrats by acknowledging liberal followers of Sen. Bernie Sanders, the party's presidential runner-up, were correct in their frustrations that there was more work to be done.
Obama vouched for Clinton in personal terms, telling a cheering crowd that because of his work with her as secretary of state "I can say with confidence there has never been a man or a woman more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president of the United States of America."
"Even in the middle of crisis, she listens to people, and keeps her cool, and treats everybody with respect. And no matter how daunting the odds; no matter how much people try to knock her down, she never, ever quits," he said.
In contrast, Obama challenged many of Trump's key campaign pitches. The GOP nominee, Obama said, is "not really a plans guy. Not really a facts guy, either."
"He calls himself a business guy, which is true, but I have to say, I know plenty of businessmen and women who've achieved success without leaving a trail of lawsuits, and unpaid workers, and people feeling like they got cheated."
