Charlotte: President Barack Obama threw his full weight behind Hillary Clinton´s bid to succeed him Tuesday, praising her experience and fighting spirit at their first joint campaign appearance of the 2016 White House race.
"I´m here today because I
believe in
Hillary Clinton,"
Obama told the rally in Charlotte, **rth Carolina taking place just hours after the FBI´s bombshell an**uncement that it will **t recommend charges over Clinton´s email practices while she was Obama´s secretary of state.
Clinton traveled together with
Obama on Air Force One for the first in a ****** of high-profile events intended to give the presumptive Democratic **minee a boost in her **vember showdown with Donald Trump.
"There has never been any man or woman more qualified for this ******. Ever!"
Obama told the crowd.
"Let me tell you, **rth Carolina, my faith in
Hillary Clinton has always been rewarded," the president said in a vibrant speech in support of the former first lady. "I have had a front-row seat to her judgment and her toughness and her commitment to diplomacy."
"She is and will be a stateswoman who makes us proud around the world,"
Obama said. "I am ready to pass the baton. And I k**w that she is going to take it."
Appealing to working American families, the president assailed the presumptive Republican **minee Trump for his "phony bluster" and warned, repeatedly: "The other side´s got **thing to offer you."
Neither Clinton **r
Obama made any mention of the FBI´s recommendation to the Justice Department.
The an**uncement takes a weight off Clinton, whose campaign has been dogged by the scandal. But the FBI´s assessment, which found that Clinton was "extremely careless" in sending classified information via her personal email account, is far from the complete exoneration she had hoped for.
