US President Barack Obama has implored voters to help continue his legacy by carrying Hillary Clinton to victory at the polls in November.<\/p>\n
Mr. Obama praised Mrs Clinton at the Democratic convention in Philadelphia, as the most qualified person ever to run for the White House.<\/p>\n
He said voters faced a choice between hope and fear, attacking “homegrown demagogue” Republican Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
But Mr Trump rejected the president’s optimistic portrayal.<\/p>\n
“Our country does not feel ‘great already’ to the millions of wonderful people living in poverty, violence and despair,” he said on Twitter.<\/p>\n
Vice-President Joe Biden also delivered his own spirited address, saying Mr Trump “backs torture”, “religious intolerance” and “betrays our values”.<\/p>\n
“He has no clue about what makes America great,” Mr Biden said, before the crowd started chanting, “Not a clue!”<\/p>\n
