  Thank you for this incredible journey: Obama

  Time and again, you have picked me up. I hope, sometimes, I picked you up, too. Tonight, 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. 

  "Thank you for this incredible journey. Let’s keep it going. God bless the United States of America."

  # The American Dream is something no wall will ever contain.

  # Vote for Democrats, then hold them accountable until they get the job done. That's right - Feel the Bern!

  # Democracy is not a spectator sport. America is not about 'Yes He Will.' It’s about 'Yes We Can.

  # I know Hillary won’t relent until ISIL is destroyed...she is fit to be the next Commander-in-Chief.

  # America is already great. America is already strong...our greatness does not depend on Donald Trump.

  # He’s selling the American people short. We are not a fragile or frightful people.

  Obama on Trump: 'not really a facts guy'

  # The Donald -- he’s not really a plans guy. He's not really a facts guy either.

  # Does anyone really believe that a guy who’s spent his 70 years on this Earth showing no regard for working people is suddenly going to be your champion? Your voice? If so, you should vote for him. But if you’re someone who’s truly concerned about paying your bills, and seeing the economy grow, and creating more opportunity for everybody, then the choice isn’t 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.

  # I understood that after all these years, she has never forgotten just who she’s fighting for.

  # She (Hillary) is a mother and grandmother who’d do anything to help our children thrive.

  # No matter how daunting the odds; no matter how much people try to knock her down, she never, ever quits. Even in the midst of crisis, Hillary listens and keep calm.

  #  There is no person more qualified than Hillary to serve as the president of United states of America.

  # The America I know is full of courage, and optimism, and ingenuity.

  # We’re not done perfecting our union, or living up to our founding creed – that all of us are created equal.

  # We are challenged to do better, so do better.

  # We are shocked and saddened by Orlando and Nice.

  # I think it's fair to say this is not your typical election

  # 12 years ago tonight, I addressed Democratic Convention for the first time, I was filled with faith in America.

  # This nation has been tested but "I am more optimistic about the future of America than ever before."

  # We declared that health care in America is not a privilege for a few, it is a right for everybody.

  # By so many measures, our country is stronger and more prosperous than it was when we started.
