Obama hits at 'unfair' criticism of Clinton

September 14, 2016 00:55

President Barack Obama made his 2016 solo campaign debut today, hitting out at "unfair" criticism of Hillary Clinton and touting his own record.

"It is good to be back on the campaign trail" Obama told a crowd in Philadelphia, as he made the case for Clinton and at least four more years of Democrat-led government.

"Even though I have run my last campaign, I am going to work as hard as I can this fall to elect Hillary Clinton," he said.

"This not just me going through the motions, I really, really, really want to elect Hillary Clinton."

Obama was appearing in a city that will be pivotal in deciding the presidential race in Pennsylvania, a virtual must-win state for Donald Trump.
