Hello, democrats. [applause] , 12 yearsobama so ago tonight, i addressed this convention for the very first time. You met my two little girls. Asha and malia now, two amazing young women who fill me with pride. [applause] fell for myama you brilliant wife and partner, michelle. [applause] president obama who has made me a better father and a better man. Who has gone on to inspire our nation as first lady. [applause] president obama and who somehow has not aged day. Aged a day. [applause] president obama the same cannot be said for me. [laughter] president obama my girls remind me all the time. They say, you have changed so much, daddy. Then they try to clean it up, not bad, just more mature. [laughter] president obama and it is true. I was so young that first time. And look, i will admit, maybe i was a little nervous. Addressing such a crowd. But i was filled with faith. [applause] president obama faith in america. The generous, bighearted, hopeful country that made my story, that made all of our stories. A lot has happened over the years. And while this nation has been tested by war and it has been tested by recession and all manner of challenges, i stand before you again tonight after almost two terms as your president to tell you i am more optimistic about the future of america than ever before. [applause] president obama how could i not be . After all that we have achieved together. After the worst recession in 80 years. We fought our way back. We have seen deficits come down. 401 k s recovered. An Auto Industry set new records. Unemployment reached an eight year low and businesses create d more than 50 million new jobs. [applause] president obama after a century of trying, we declared health care in america is not a privilege for a few, it is a right for everybody. [applause] president obama after decades of talk, we feel he began to beganally we finally to wean ourselves off of foreign oil. We doubled our production of clean energy. We brought more of our troops home to their families. And we delivered justice to Osama Bin Laden. [applause] president obama through diplomacy, we shut down Irans Nuclear weapons program. We opened up a new chapter with the people of cuba. Brought nearly 200 nations together around the climate save thisthat could planet for our children. [applause] president obama we put policies in place to help loans. Cut veterans homelessness in half. And through countless act of s of quiet courage, we have made Marriage Equality and the law of the law of the land. [applause] president obama by so many measures, our country is stronger and more prosperous than it was when we first started. And through every victory, and every setback, ive insisted that change is never easy. Never quick. We would not meet all of our challenges in one term or one presidency. Or even one lifetime. Tonight, im here to tell you , yes, we still have more work to do. More work to do for every american in need of a good job. Paid leave for decent retirement. For every child who needs a ladder out of poverty or worldclass education. For everyone who is not yet felt has not yet felt the progress of past seven and a half years. We need to keep making our streets safer in our criminal and our criminal Justice System fair. [applause] president obama our homeland more secure, our world more peaceful and sustainable for the next generation. [applause] president obama we are not done protecting our union. Living up to our founding creed that all of us are created equal and all of us are free in the eyes of god. [applause] president obama that work involves a big choice this november. I think it is fair to say that this is not your typical election. [laughter] president obama it is not just a choice between parties or policies, the usual debates between left and right. This is a more fundamental choice. About who we are as a people. And whether we stay true to this Great American experiment in self government. Look, we democrats have always had plenty of differences with the Republican Party. And theres nothing wrong with that. It is precisely this contest of ideas that pushes our country forward. [applause] president obama but we heard in cleveland last week was not particularly republican. And it sure wasnt conservative. What we heard was a deeply as a pessimistic vision of a country we turn against each other and turn away from the rest of the world. There were no Serious Solutions to pressing problems. Just the resentment and blame and anger and that is not the america i know. The america i know is full of courage and optimism and ingenuity. The american i know is decent the america i know is decent and generous sure we have real anxieties about paying bills and protecting our kids. We get frustrated with political gridlock and worry about racial division. We are shocked and saddened by the madness of orlando or nice. There are pockets of america that never recovered from factory closures. Many took pride and hard work in hard work and provided for the families who now feel forgotten. Parents who wonder whether kids will have the same opportunities that we had. Were challenged to do better, to be better. But as ive traveled this ,ountry, through all 50 states as ive rejoiced with you and mourned with you, what ive also seen, more than anything, is what is right with america. [applause] president obama i see people working hard and starting businesses. People teaching kids and serving our country. I see engineers inventing stuff, and doctors coming up with new cures. I see a Younger Generation full of energy and new ideas, not constrained by what is, ready to seize what ought to be. [applause] president obama most of all, i see americans of every party, every background, every faith , who believe that we are stronger together. Black, white, latino, asian, american, young and old, gay, straight, men, women, folks with disabilities, all pledging allegiance, under the same proud flag, to this big, bold country that we love. [applause] president obama that is what i see. That is 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 whod 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. [applause] hillary ]anting thats right. A , eight yearsber 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 is tough. I was worn out. [laughter] she was doinga everything i was doing, but it was tough. Every time i thought i might that race won, hillary just came back stronger. But after it was all over, i asked hillary to join my team. [applause] and she was aa little surprised, but ultimately , she said yes, because she knew that what was at stake was bigger than either of us. [applause] president obama 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 wasnt for praise or attention, that she was in this for everyone who needs a champion. [applause] president obama i understood that, after all these years, she has never forgotten just who shes fighting for. Hillarys still got the tenacity she had as a young Woman Working at the childrens defense fund, going door to door to ultimately make sure kids with disabilities could get a quality education. [applause] president obama shes still got the heart she showed as our first lady, working with congress to help push through a Childrens HealthInsurance Program that to this day protects millions of kids. [applause] shes stillama 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, to help the city rebuild, 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. [applause] you know,obama nothing truly prepares you for the demands of the oval office. You can read about it, you can study it. But until you have set at the at at that desk, you dont know what its like to manage a global crisis, or send young people to war. But hillarys been in the room;. Shes been part of those decisions. She knows whats at stake in the decisions our government makes. Whats at stake for the working family, the Senior Citizen, the Small Business owner, the soldier, and the veteran. Even in the midst of crisis, she listens to people and she 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 points. Quits. R, ever [applause] president obama thats the hillary i know. Thats the hillary ive come to admire. And thats 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. [applause] president obama i hope you dont mind, bill, but i was just telling the truth, man. And, by the way, in case you were wondering about her judgment, look at her choice of running mate. [applause] president Obama Tim Kaine is as good a man, as humble and committed a Public Servant as anyone i know. I know his family and i love his wife and his kids. He will be a great Vice President , and hell make hillary a better president. Just like my dear friend and brother joe biden has made me a better president. [applause] president obama now, hillary has real plans to address the concerns shes heard from you on the campaign trail. Shes got specific ideas to invest in new jobs, to help workers share in their companys profits, to help put kids in preschool, and put students through College Without taking on a ton of debt. Thats what leaders do. And then, theres donald trump. [crowd boos] president obama dont boo, vote. [applause] the donald isa not really a plans guy. [laughter] he is notobama really a facts guy, either. [laughter] president obama he calls himself a business guy, which is true, but i have to say, i know plenty of businessmen and women whove achieved success without leaving a trail of lawsuits, and unpaid workers, and people feeling like they got cheated. [applause] president obama does anyone really believe that a guy whos spent his 70 years on this earth showing no regard for working people is suddenly going to be a your champion . Your voice . If so, you should vote for him. But if youre someone whos truly concerned about paying your bills, and you are concerned about pocketbook seeing the economy grow and creating more opportunity for everybody, then the choice isnt even close. If you want someone with a lifelong track record of fighting for higher wages, better benefits, a fairer tax code, a bigger voice for workers, and stronger regulations on wall street, then you should vote for Hillary Clinton. [applause] president obama and, if youre concerned about whos going to keep you and your family safe in a dangerous world, well, the choice is even clearer. Hillary clinton is respected around the world, not just by leaders, but by the people they serve. Peoplesay this outside of the United States do not understand what is going on in this election. [laughter] president obama they really dont. They know hillary. They have seen her work. Shes worked closely with our intelligence teams, our diplomats, our military. She has the judgment, the experience, and the temperament to meet the threat from terrorism. It is not new to her. Our troops have pounded isil without mercy, taking out leaders, taking back territory. And i know hillary wont relent until isil is destroyed. Shell finish the job. [applause] president obama and shell do it without resorting to torture, or banning entire religions from entering our country. She is fit to be the next commanderinchief. [applause] president obama meanwhile, donald trump calls our military a disaster. Apparently, he doesnt know the men and women who make up the strongest fighting force the world has ever known. [applause] he suggestsama america is weak. He must not hear the billions of men, women, and children, from the baltics to burma, who still look to america to be the light of freedom, dignity, and human rights. [applause] he cozies up to putin, praises Saddam Hussein, and tells our nato allies that stood by our side after 9 11 that they have to pay up if they want our protection. Well, americas promises do not come with a price tag. We meet our commitments. We bear our burden. Almost every country on earth sees america as stronger and more respected today than they did eight years ago when i took office. [applause] president Obama America is already great. [applause] president Obama America is already strong. [applause] president obama and i promise you, our strength, our greatness, does not depend on donald trump. In fact, it doesnt depend on any one person. And that, in the end, may be the biggest difference in this election the meaning of our democracy. Ronald reagan called america a hill. City on a donald trump calls it a divided crime scene that only he can fix. It doesnt matter to him that illegal immigration and the crime rate are as low as theyve ve been in decades, because hes s not actually offering any real solution to those issues. Hes just offering slogans, and hes offering fear. Hes betting that if he scares enough people, he might score just enough votes to win this election. That is another bet that donald trump will lose. The reason he will lose it is because hes selling the American People short. We are not a fragile or prideful fearful people. Our power doesnt come from some selfdeclared savior promising that he alone can restore order. We dont look to be ruled. [applause] president obama our power comes from those immortal declarations first put to paper right here in philadelphia all those years ago. We hold these truths to be selfevident, that all men are created equal. That together, we, the people, can form a more perfect union. [applause] president obama thats who we are. Thats our birthright. The capacity to shape our own destiny. [applause] thats whatama drove patriots to choose revolution over tyranny and our liberate a continent. Its what gave women the courage to reach for the ballot, and marchers to cross a bridge in selma, and workers to organize and fight for better wages. [applause] president Obama America has never been about what one person says hell do for us. Its about what can be achieved by us, together, through the hard, slow, sometimes frustrating, but ultimately enduring work of selfgovernment. And thats what Hillary Clinton understands. [applause] president obama she knows that this is a big, diverse country,. She has seen it. She understands that even when youre 100 right, getting things done requires compromise. That democracy doesnt work if we constantly demonize each other. [applause] she knows that for progress to happen, we have to listen to each other, see ourselves in each other, fight for our principles but also fight to find common ground, no matter how elusive that may seem. [applause] hillary knows we can work through racial divides in this country when we realize the worry black parents feel when their son leaves the house isnt so different than what a brave cops family feels when he puts on the blue and goes to work; that we can honor police and treat every community fairly. [applause] we can do that. She knows that acknowledging problems that have festered for decades isnt making Race Relations worse, its creating the possibility for people of good will to join and make things better. [applause] hillary knows we can insist on a lawful and orderly immigration system while still seeing striving students and their toiling parents as loving families, not criminals or rapists; families that came here for the same reasons our forebears came, to work, and study, and make a better life, in a place where we can talk and worship and love as we please. She knows their dream is qui
