Barack Obama actually said...

"Vote like your life counts on it, right? Vote like your health and your well-being matters or depends on it. Vote like you've never voted before. Vote for all of us. Vote for our democracy."

"This administration has shown it will tear our democracy down, if that's what it takes for them to win."

"I am also asking you, to believe in your own ability, to embrace your own responsibility as citizens, I want to throw that to make sure that the basic tenets of our democracy endure."

"I did hope, for the sake of our country, that Donald Trump might show some interest in taking the job seriously, but he never did."
