Obama, Clinton will attend Congressional Black Caucus gala

President Barack Obama urged the African-American community to help stop Donald Trump, saying he would consider it a “personal insult” to his legacy if black voters did not back Hillary Clinton.

Second, moving away from old, sick Hillary’s 9/11 trip up, Obama is seriously trying to shame black Democrats into voting and if they don’t-it’s akin to spitting in his face and for the unbelievable legacy he’s left us: More debt, a health care law that doesn’t work, chaos in the Middle East, and a foreign policy that’s an utter failure.

During her brief address at the same event, Clinton herself stressed that issues that affect the black community are central to her campaign, simultaneously firing shots at Trump without ever mentioning him by name.

In a more lighthearted mood, Obama said there is more pep in his step now that the validity of his birth certificate is a non-issue, following Trump’s admission Friday that Obama was born in the USA after years of says the president, who was born in Hawaii, was likely not born in the U.S.

Saturday night marked Obama’s final appearance at the annual dinner. At the fundraiser, he said he was confident the American people will “make a good decision and we’re going to win this thing”. Trump has polled as low as 1% with black voter support in some surveys.

“And to think that with just 124 days to go, under the wire, we got that resolved”, Obama said. “There’s no such thing as a vote that doesn’t matter”, he said, adding that voting in this election will be a “good sendoff”.

“When I ran against John McCain, we had deep differences, but I couldn’t say that he was not qualified to be president of the United States”, Mr Obama said of his 2008 opponent.

Butterfield, along with a dozen other members, made their comments at a hastily arranged news conference on a noisy Washington street corner, just outside a convention center where many were attending events for “CBC Week”.

“We can’t let Barack Obama’s legacy fall into the hands of someone who doesn’t understand that, whose unsafe and divisive vision for our country will drag us backwards”, she said.

Conversely, Trump has fumbled in his attempts to appeal to African-Americans, in some surveys polling at zero percent of the black vote. “Well, we do have challenges. It’s a reality show”, Obama said of the Trump campaign. “We can’t let Barack Obama’s legacy fall into the hands of someone who doesn’t understand that ― whose risky and divisive vision for our country will drag us backwards”.
