Obama to campaign all week for Clinton in swing states

Hillary Clinton is “absolutely ready” to be the US’ commander-in-chief on day one as the Democratic presidential nominee and former secretary of state has more experience and exposure than any candidate “in our lifetime”, First Lady Michelle Obama has said.

Unlike President Obama or Clinton, Trump has been reluctant to go after the first lady.

At a rally in North Carolina on Thursday, it was Clinton who spoke first and introduced Michelle Obama to resounding applause.

Many Democrats have expressed an eagerness for the first lady to utilize her powerful speaking skills and wealth of popularity to make a bid for office herself.

The now first lady then took a not-so subtle dig at Mrs Clinton, telling voters that “if you can’t run your own house, you certainly can’t run the White House”.

Yes, more than Barack (Obama).

“It’s not often that you get to hear a sitting president speak in person and it’s a great honor that President Obama has chosen our campus to come and speak to”, she said.

Obama never mentioned Republican Donald Trump by name, but was clear in her criticisms of the controversial businessman – telling the audience he is effectively trying to steal the election by scaring enough people into staying home on election day. “She’s got to say what she’s got to say”.

“Let me tell you, there are three things that are certain in life: death, taxes and Michelle is not running for president”, he added.

Obama made history by joining Clinton, for the first time, on stage on Thursday, a point she acknowledged. Her hubby, President Barack Obama, has some very definitive thoughts on the sitch.

Like her husband, Michelle Obama is enjoying strong favorability ratings, making her a valuable asset for Clinton.

“She could have gone any place else”, said Cheryl Miller of Daytona Beach, a 62-year-old college administrator.

“Look, she’s the first lady”, he said in a recent interview with ABC News.

Trump denounced both Hillary and Bill Clinton as creatures of a corrupt political system, who would use another pass at the Oval Office to enrich themselves at the expense of American families.

Talk of “taking her out” if Clinton is elected has no place in America. “You don’t need to wait until November 8th to send Patrick Murphy to the United States Senate”, Obama said.

Commentators suggested the leaked video from 2005 which showed the Republican nominee bragging about sexually assaulting women sparked a fire in the First Lady, who has often revisited the subject of gender equality when talking on behalf of Clinton.

And with an approval rating of 64 per cent according to Gallup, it is no wonder why fans have begun to wonder whether or not Ms Obama, 52, will follow Ms Clinton’s lead on the path to the White House.
