Former President Barack Obama implored Democrats in Chicago Tuesday night to vote instead of boo, right after his wife challenged the crowd to “do something” to fight their dread of another four years of Donald Trump from becoming a reality.
“I’m feeling fired up! I’m feeling ready to go—even if I’m the only person stupid enough to speak right after Michelle Obama,” he said to an overflowing, adoring crowd inside the arena at the Democratic National Convention.
His wife, the former first lady, said Republican nominee Donald Trump was “doubling down on ugly, misogynistic, racist lies as a substitute for real ideas and solutions that will actually make people’s lives better.”
