PHILADELPHIA — President Obama formally passed the light to Hillary Clinton on Wednesday — yet not before utilizing it to attempt to torch Donald Trump's trusts of the White House and to light a flame under any Democratic voters slanted to stay home in November.
"America is as of now awesome, America is as of now solid," Obama told rambunctious, sign-waving party activists stuffed into Wells Fargo Center field here, giving a shout out to his immediate strike the Republican candidate's mark trademark.
"What's more, I guarantee you, our quality, our significance, does not rely on upon Donald Trump," he said, to blended hurrahs and giggling.
The brash business visionary "is not really offering any genuine arrangements," Obama fought. "He's simply offering mottos, and he's putting forth fear. He's wagering that on the off chance that he unnerves enough individuals, he may score simply enough votes to win this decision."
At a certain point, he veered far from arranged comments to thump Trump's grip of birtherism, the disproven, bigotry energized fear inspired notion that Obama was not conceived in the United States and is in this way an illegitimate president.
"My grandparents, they originated from the heartland; their predecessors started settling there around 200 years prior," he said. "I don't know whether they had their introduction to the world authentications, however they were there!"
What's more, Obama guaranteed that Hillary would "complete the occupation" of vanquishing the alleged Islamic State, while ensuring and propelling his significant and questionable legacy on issues like social insurance change, controlling Wall Street and propelling gay rights.
"I'm here to let you know that yes, despite everything we have more work to do," he said. "That work includes a major decision this November."
In the midst of worries among a few Democrats that alienated Bernie Sanders supporters may stay home, relinquishing the administration to Trump, Obama had a message for those whose steadfastness is still to the dynamic Vermont representative's development.
"In case you're not kidding about our majority rules system, you can't bear to stay home since she won't not adjust to you on each issue," he cautioned. "We're going to convey Hillary to triumph this fall, since that is the thing that the minute requests."
Toward the end of his comments, Clinton developed unannounced from backstage, radiating, and the two shared a long loving squeeze before watching the stage together, waving to the group.
