'Hillary is the reason why US is more respected in the world,' says Obama

Obama tried to combat the notion that voters have to settle for Clinton only because they're so turned off by Trump.

Philadelphia

: Urging more Americans to vote for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, President Barack Obama on Tuesday said that voters don't have to settle for just voting against Donald Trump. He said that they \"have somebody extraordinary to vote for\" in Hillary Clinton.

Obama on Tuesday delivered his closing pitch for Clinton during a star-studded rally in Philadelphia. He tried to combat the notion that voters have to settle for Clinton only because they're so turned off by Trump.

Obama said he's had to \"bite my tongue\" throughout the \"nonsense\" of the campaign. He's decrying \"vicious, crazy\" attacks against Clinton and says she's been held to double-standards.

Obama said despite all that, Clinton doesn't complain or buckle. He said she brushes it off because she's strong like the American people, adding that Hillary is the reason why US is respected in the world.
