Hillary Clinton released a new television ad Friday featuring President Obama urging voters to turn out in order to protect the progress his administration has made over the past eight years.
“All the progress we’ve made these last eight years is on the ballot. Respect for women is on the ballot, tolerance is on the ballot, equality is on the ballot, justice is on the ballot,” Obama says in the ad, which is clipped from an Oct. 11 rally in Greensboro, North Carolina. “If you want to send a message in this election, send a message about who we are as the American people. Send a message by voting for Hillary Clinton,” he continues.
The 30-second ad, titled “On The Ballot,” was paid for by the Democratic National Committee and is expected to air nationally, with higher concentrations in Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and North Carolina, according to the Clinton campaign. The size of the ad buy was unclear, as well as how long the ad will run.

President Barack Obama…class. Pure class.
It’s all about turnout now. I’m trying to be confident. I can’t shake a sense of foreboding though that enough people in America are hateful and ignorant enough to turn out in numbers greater than those who believe in the best of America.
He is not going to retire after the election. He and Michelle will still be fighting for us. Important work ahead to upend GOP gerrymandering.
I dunno. Seems like it’s preaching to the choir. Which I suppose speaks to @imkmu3 's point about turnout.
People who try to measure Obama’s Presidency by comparing him to other presidents using standard metrics are missing a big part of the picture.
