It's so impressive that I'm sure it must have already been posted, but just in case. The important thing is the video with NowThis. Scroll down a bit.

President Obama is spending this week making the case for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, whose election he sees as holding the future of his legacy. Hell make campaign stops in Florida and North Carolina leading up to Election Day, following a raucous stop in Ohio on Tuesday. All the while, the president is making appeals to the voters who backed him in 2008 and 2012 through radio and social media interviews

I was very satisfied (i.e., not mildly pleased, but finally getting some satisfaction) by this interview.

Obama was elected in large part due to high turnout among African Americans, many of whom saw his candidacy as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In 2008 and 2012, black women had some of the highest percentages of eligible voter turnout and the black vote overall was on par with white voter turnout for the first time in history. During his interview on the Tom Joyner show, a nationally syndicated black radio show, recognized that his candidacy was in many ways the reason for the bump in black vote, but tried to convince voters that if they fail to elect Clinton his legacy would falter.
Right now the Latino vote is up, the overall vote is up, but the African American vote right now is not where it needs to be, the president said on the Tom Joyner Morning Show.
