It’s the last day of the 2016 Democratic National Convention and all the effort and the drama has come to one point – the moment when Hillary Clinton accepts the nomination for president from the Democratic Party.
In what was a farewell speech of sorts to the Democrats gathered there, President Obama called on his supporters to stand behind Clinton as they had stood behind him for the past eight years.
"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. Because you're who I was talking about twelve years ago, when I talked about hope – it's been you who've fueled my dogged faith in our future, even when the odds are great; even when the road is long. Hope in the face of difficulty; hope in the face of uncertainty; the audacity of hope!"
