President Barack Obama last spoke at the Democratic National
Convention in Philadelphia, where he gave reasons on why he ticked a huge
positive mark for Hillary Clinton to be the next President of United States of
America. In presence of the crowd gathered, Obama not only endorsed Clinton as
U.S President, but also shared incredible hug with her on stage. Continue reading

"That’s the America I know. And there is only one candidate
in this race who believes in that future, and has devoted her life to it; a
mother and grandmother who’d do anything to help our children thrive; a leader
with real plans to break down barriers, blast through glass ceilings, and widen
the circle of opportunity to every single American – the next President of the
United States, Hillary Clinton.
Now, eight years ago, Hillary and I were rivals for the
Democratic nomination. We battled for a year and a half. Let me tell you, it
was tough, because Hillary’s tough. Every time I thought I might have that race
won, Hillary just came back stronger.
But after it was all over, I asked Hillary to join my team.
She was a little surprised, but ultimately said yes – because she knew that
what was at stake was bigger than either of us. And for four years, I had a
front-row seat to her intelligence, her judgment, and her discipline. I came to
realize that her unbelievable work ethic wasn’t for praise or attention – that
she was in this for everyone who needs a champion. I understood that after all
these years, she has never forgotten just who she’s fighting for.
Hillary’s still got the tenacity she had as a young woman
working at the Children’s Defense Fund, going door to door to ultimately make
sure kids with disabilities could get a quality education.
She’s still got the heart she showed as our First Lady,
working with Congress to help push through a Children’s Health Insurance
Program that to this day protects millions of kids.
She’s still seared with the memory of every American she met
who lost loved ones on 9/11, which is why, as a Senator from New York, she
fought so hard for funding to help first responders; why, as Secretary of
State, she sat with me in the Situation Room and forcefully argued in favor of
the mission that took out bin Laden.
You know, nothing truly prepares you for the demands of the
Oval Office. Until you’ve sat at that desk, you don’t know what it’s like to
manage a global crisis, or send young people to war. But Hillary’s been in the
room; she’s been part of those decisions. She knows what’s at stake in the
decisions our government makes for the working family, the senior citizen, the
small business owner, the soldier, and the veteran. 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.
That’s the Hillary I know. That’s the Hillary I’ve come to
admire. And that’s why 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."
