Washington (CNN) — President Barack Obama delivered an impassioned plea to the African-American community Saturday night to help stop Donald Trump, saying he would consider it a "personal insult" to his legacy if black voters didn't turn out for Hillary Clinton. Addressing the Congressional Black Caucus gala for the last time as president, Obama warned that while his name would not be on the ballot in November, all of the progress that the country has made over the last eight years was on the line. "If I hear anybody saying their vote does not matter, that it doesn't matter who we elect -- read up on your history. It matters. We've got to get people to vote," Obama said. "I will consider it a personal insult -- an insult to my legacy -- if this community lets down its guard and fails to activate itself in this election. You want to give me a good sendoff? Go vote." Obama's speech -- coming less than two months away from Election Day -- marked some of his harshest words yet about Trump, as well as his most forceful call on the black community to get behind Clinton. Why Democrats are anxious His remarks also had lighter moments -- particularly as he addressed the so-called "birther" controversy. The second-term president began his speech by remarking: "There's an extra spring in my step tonight. I don't know about you guys, but I am so relieved that the whole 'birther' thing is over." Chuckling, the President said, "I mean: ISIL, North Korea, poverty, climate change -- none of those things weighed on my mind like the validity of my birth certificate. And to think: that with just a 124 days to go, under the wire, we got that resolved." Obama was referring to Trump's admission this week that the president was born in the United States. Trump has long supported the birther theory, raising questions about Obama's birthplace and demanding that the president present his birth certificate as proof of his origin. Obama's tone, however, soon turned serious as he outlined what he said was at stake in the election. "You may have heard Hillary's opponent in this election say that there's never been a worse time to be a black person. I mean, he missed that whole civics lesson about slavery or Jim Crow," Obama said. "But we've got a museum for him to visit, so he can tune in. We will educate him." In harsh rebuke of Trump, Obama referred to the businessman as "somebody who has fought against civil rights and fought against equality and who has shown no regard for working people most of his life." On Trump's quest to win over African-American voters, Obama quipped: "Well, we do have challenges, but we're not stupid." No, Hillary Clinton did not start the 'birther' movement (Video of Mrs. Obama at link) Poster Comment: How could a Soros robot be insulted? This African moron who, thanks to the over-medicated un-patriotic Americans, has been allowed to live rent free in the disgraced White House is so far beyond contempt as to amaze even the uninformed voter.

He needs to be personally insulted. What has he done for the black community? What has he done for race relations? Things have gotten so bad in the black community that Trump is campaigning on the slogan "What have you got to lose?"
Politico said in an article yesterday that Buchannan was the worst president and I say bullshit! Obama is the worst calamity ever to be visited on a duped gaggle of voters since Adolf Hitler. Stalin and Mao don't count as they didn't use the ballot box. Clinton follows Bozo, then FDR, then Wilson, Bush I and II rank up there due to their fascination with the NWO and destroying Iran's biggest enemy: Iraq. Kennedy was a foppish fool, Nixon was flawed, LBJ was a filthy old politician who is stoking the fires of hell readying them for the Clintons. It boils down to America has been served up some lousy candidates and the two party system, which is actually one party with two heads, is thoroughly corrupted by lifer politicians. I'm spouting off too much for a person who isn't going to church because he doesn't feel well. Liberals are a lot like Slinkys, they're good for nothing but they bring a smile to your face as you shove them down the stairs.
So Politico is saying Obama should be proud of his presidency because "at least he was better than Buchannan"? Is that the new standard? Pretty low bar.
Due to the news articles appearing in Illinois newspapers when he was elected tot he state senate I DO believe this plague was born in Kenya. The headline of the article(s) state 'Kenyan born elected to senate."
Liberals are a lot like Slinkys, they're good for nothing but they bring a smile to your face as you shove them down the stairs.
Obama and Hillary have been in collusion for a long time!
I've got some rope in the garage. A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. "saying he would consider it a "personal insult" to his legacy"
