With the election campaign heating up between Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump and Democratic Presidential Nominee Hillary Clinton, their campaigns are now heating up with special speakers to get the public. For Hillary, President Barack Obama went on the frontlines to campaign for her with one simple message: Do it for Obama.
Since he became president, Obama has the highest approval rating for an outgoing leader with Gallup recording an average of 54 percent. He is a staunch supporter of Hillary and aims to see her in the top spot against her Republican rival.
Obama took part in this week's campaigns starting Tuesday in Columbus, Ohio, then moving to Raleigh, North Carolina, Miami, Jacksonville and Charlotte. As usual, his speeches are well-rehearsed, complimenting his former state secretary and said: "There has never been a man or a woman -- not me, not Bill, nobody -- more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as the president of the United States of America."
Obama had also attacked her rival Donald Trump and said "The Republican nominee is unfit to serve as president."
What was interesting in his speech was when he moved his discussion to a more personal level, linking Hillary's success in the polls to his own legacy as president.
He remarked on one of his speeches in July for the Democratic National Convention, "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."
This personal call to the voters was noted in his speech at Capital University, asking the voters that carried him to power to "work as hard for her as you worked for me."
He also added "I am asking you just what I asked you eight years ago. I am asking you to believe in your ability to bring about change."
Obama had also discussed the importance of everyone's vote in his campaign for Hillary, calling for black voters and even those from the Hispanic and Latino groups. On Wednesday, in his interview with Tom Joyner Morning Show, he said "I'm going to be honest with you. The Latino vote is up. Overall vote is up. But the African-American vote right now is not as solid as it needs to be."
