Carry Hillary the same way you carried me: Obama appeals to Americans

July 28, 2016 09:25

President Obama wound up his speech saying:

* Time and again, you have picked me up. I hope, sometimes, I picked you up, too. Tonight, I ask you to do for Hillary Clinton what you did for me. I ask you to carry her the same way you carried me. Because you are who I was talking about twelve years ago, when I talked about hope -- it has been you who have fueled my dogged faith in our future, even when the odds are great; even when the road is long. Hope in the face of difficulty; hope in the face of uncertainty; the audacity of hope!

* America, you have vindicated that hope these past eight years. And now I am ready to pass the baton and do my part as a private citizen. This year, in this election, I am asking you to join me -- to reject cynicism, reject fear, to summon whats best in us; to elect Hillary Clinton as the next President of the United States, and show the world we still believe in the promise of this great nation.

* Thank you for this incredible journey. Let us keep it going. God bless the United States of America.
