Obama praises Clinton, blasts Trump at DNC fundraiser in NYC

But that aide, Clinton's 2008 campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle, told CNN that a volunteer county coordinator in Iowa forwarded an email that promoted the debunked theory.

Obama delivered his final keynote address to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, symbolically passing the torch to the person he hopes will succeed him next year.

"There's a reason why we haven't had a woman president", Obama said at the fundraiser for Clinton.

For many voters, their first perception of the candidates is likely to be made at the debates, because they don' t really follow the election campaign closely, he explained.

"For a lot of people, it's brought up that anger again, and that anger is not going to dissipate before the election", said Kweisi Mfume, a former congressman from Maryland and former president of the NAACP.

The Trump campaign continues to lie about the Republican nominee's long history of birtherism, and now they are being suffocated by Donald Trump's history of racism towards President Obama. "He missed that whole civics lesson about slavery and Jim Crow, but we've got a museum for him to visit".

"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", Obama said with a stern look and booming passion. "But Mr. Trump could've put this issue to bed a long time ago", Raddatz said.

President Obama says a bias against powerful women could hurt Hilary Clinton in November.

On Friday, First Lady Michelle Obama made her first campaign appearance of 2016, trying to convince her and her husband's supporters at a Virginia rally that Clinton is also worthy of their votes.

On NBC's Meet the Press, host Chuck Todd presented Conway with a lengthy list of issues on which Trump has recently changed his stated views, including birtherism, tax cuts for the wealthy, a Muslim ban, the minimum wage, the Iraq invasion, Libya intervention, abortion, whether he would self-fund his campaign, whether to accept Syrian refugees, and Japan and nuclear weapons.

"It's not about golf course promotions or birth certificates".

However, political polarization in the country would make it tight, he said.

Obama also took aim at Trump's outreach to black voters.

If the race were held today, the poll found that Clinton would have a 60 percent chance of winning the Electoral College by 18 votes and becoming president.

Black voters were among Clinton's most loyal supporters during the Democratic primaries, powering her to a series of wins in the South that helped her build a delegate lead against Vermont Sen.

The dinner included warnings about a Trump presidency.

On Friday afternoon, Trump finally conceded that Obama was indeed born in the United States, as his birth certificate says.

Obama's remarks came a day after Trump acknowledged that the president was born in the U.S. Without apologizing, the Republican presidential nominee reversed himself after years of promoting a conspiracy theory that Obama was born in Kenya.
