The United States President Barack Obama hit the campaign trail for the Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton while her husband and former President Bill Clinton was scheduled to stand in for her at campaign and fund-raising events in Los Angeles, California.
The CNN reported, Mrs. Clinton said that, she “met a high standard of transparency” and that she had underestimated her illness. “I was supposed to rest five days that’s what they told me on Friday and I didn’t follow that very wise advice,” she said.
Mr. Axelrod’s tweeted “antibiotics can take care of pneumonia. What's the cure for an unhealthy penchant for privacy that repeatedly creates unnecessary problems?”
The Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is 70 years old and Ms. Clinton is 68, older than all recent presidential candidates. Bill Clinton was 47, George W. Bush was 54 and Mr. Obama was 47 when they were first elected. Ronald Reagan, the oldest President to be elected in the history of America was 69.
Meanwhile, the US president criticized Mr. Trump and said that, "You need to remember, if you are serious about our democracy, then you have got to be with her. She is in the arena and you cannot leave her in there by herself, you have got to get in there with her. You cannot stay home because, you know, she has been around for a long time.”
"Well you know what, this is not reality TV. Democracy is not a spectator sport. You do not tweet in your vote," Obama said.
"America is not about yes he will, it is about yes we can, yes we can, yes we can create more good jobs. Yes we can create better schools. Yes we can create safer streets. Yes we can create a more secure world.
"We can bring about real change and real progress and the time has come for me to pass the baton on, but I know that Hillary is going to take it and she is going to run that race and she will finish that race and that is why I am with her, that is why I am fired up, that is why I am ready to go. And I need you to join me," he said.
"Do not boo. Vote. Booing is easy. I need you to vote. Look, let us talk about Mr Trump. He is not really a plans guy, a fact guy. He calls himself a business guy, but America has got a lot of businessmen and women who succeeded without hiding their tax returns or leaving a trail of lawsuits, workers who did not get paid, people feeling like they got cheated.
"I keep on reading this analysis that, well, you know, Trump has got support from like working folks. Really? This is the guy you want to be championing working people? This guy who spent 70 years on this earth showing no concern for working people - this guy has suddenly going to be your champion?," Obama asked.
"And now this guy is going to be the champion of working people? He was not going to let you on his golf course. He was not going to let you buy in his condo. And now suddenly this guy is going to be your champion? So yes, if you oppose raising the minimum wage you should vote for Trump, you should also vote for Pat Toomey.”
“You have got a Trump-Toomey economy will be right up your alley, but if you are actually concerned about paying your bills, growing the economy, creating opportunity for everybody, keeping the trend of rising incomes going and rising wages going and uninsured going down and poverty going out," Obama said.
