Obama Says Hillary More Qualified To Lead America Than George Washington Or Abe Lincoln

President Obama said there never been anyone more qualified than Clinton – himself included and her husband

EDITOR’S NOTE: Barack Obama said tonight that Hillary Clinton is the most qualified person to ever run for president in the history of America. That would place her above George Washington, Abraham Lincoln or even Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Whaaattt??……

Barack Obama got a rockstar’s response as he arrived at the Democratic National Convention to pass the torch to Hillary Clinton, his former secretary of state. ‘Thank you,’ he yelled over their clapping. ‘Thank you so much. Thank you, everyone!’

They shouted back at him, ‘Yes we can’ – his campaign slogan. ‘I love you back,’ he told someone in the audience.  The president was light on his feet as he reminisced about his first time addressing the convention 12 years ago and his early days in the White House.

Michelle ‘somehow hasn’t aged a day,’ he said of the first lady. ‘I know the same cannot be said for me.’

‘My girls remind me all the time. Wow, you’ve changed so much, daddy. And then they try to clean it up,’ he said to giggles. Obama went over his greatest hits – his health care agreement, the reopening of relations with Cuba, his international climate change agreement, the night he ordered a hit on Osama bin Laden.

After a short wind-up he moved on to praising Hillary Clinton, his 2008 rival.

Clinton ‘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,’ he said.

‘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 – not me, not Bill, nobody more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as President of the United States of America.’

The line was met with cheers. ‘And then there’s Donald Trump,’ he said.

Trump got under Democrats’ skin today as he invited Russia to hack Clinton’s emails so he could prove she’s lying. The shocking endorsement of foreign espionage came after Obama said it’s ‘possible’ Vladimir Putin and his cronies could be try to influence the election.

He cozies up to Putin, praises Saddam Hussein, and tells the NATO allies that stood by our side after 9/11 that they have to pay up if they want our protection. Democrats were meeting in Philadelphia for day three of their national convention by encouraging Moscow to hack the email of his election rival Hillary Clinton.

Obama closed out the night, speaking after Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, Clinton’s running mate, and Vice President Joe Biden. 

The President, acting as a character reference for his onetime rival and Secretary of State also make the case that she is uniquely qualified to succeed him.

‘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,’ Obama said, according to prepared remarks.

‘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,” he will say. ‘But Hillary’s been in the room; she’s been part of those decisions.’ source
