| Barack Obama Steps Up To Bat For Ex |
| Barack Obama Steps Up To Bat For Ex-Rival Hillary Clinton

| US President Barack Obama steps onto the Democratic convention stage Wednesday to champion former political foe Hillary Clinton, defend his own legacy and bury Donald Trump's chances of reaching the White House.
But Trump launched a pre-emptive attack at an incendiary press conference, contemptuously putting down Obama as a "disaster" and making a provocative call for Russia to hack Clinton's email.
It came only hours before Obama was to take the stage at the Democratic National Convention to make the case that America's first black president should be followed by its first female president.
Clinton on Tuesday became the first woman to win the presidential nomination of a major US political party, teeing up the November showdown with Republican Trump.
Democrats had "put the biggest crack" yet in the glass ceiling for women, she said in a video message to the convention.
Delegates earlier heard a deeply personal testimonial from former president Bill Clinton, who described a great friend, wife and mother who suffers the slings and arrows of politics to be "the best darn change-maker" Americans could hope for.
The current commander-in-chief is likely to offer a harder edge.
Expect Obama to "focus on how secretary Clinton has the judgment, the toughness, and the intellect to succeed him in the Oval Office," said White House spokesman Eric Schultz.
