ATLANTA — Former President Barack Obama told a crowd of Georgia Democrats in College Park Friday night that he understands times are difficult and things won’t change overnight. But if they vote for Democrats up and down the ballot, he said, the state of the country will improve.
He said his wife, Michelle, can be a “glass-half-empty” person sometimes.
“I’m the ‘hope and change’ guy, I need you to be a little more optimistic,” he said. “I tell her everything will be OK, and I believe it will, but I also know that things will not be OK on their own.”
