Analysis: Obama again feels the ‘fierce urgency of now’ as Trump eyes return to power | CNN Politics

Former President Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen were campaigning in Georgia on Thursday night .

Obama and the Boss were trying to push Democratic nominee Kamala Harris over the line in the critical swing state.

Obama : "Just because he acts goofy does not mean his presidency wouldn’t be dangerous" Obama is feeling “the fierce urgency of now” again.

Obama is paying it forward in the same way Bill Clinton did in 2012 to help lift Obama 's reelection bid.

Obama ’s caustic roasts of Trump , his gift for framing the stakes of an election, shows that his political skills are undiminished.

“He instilled in America a hope that maybe didn’t exist before,” a Detroit barber said.

Former first lady Michelle Obama will campaign with Harris on Saturday in Michigan .

At this point, marquee events are more about driving a party’s voters to the polls than changing minds.

Still, the likelihood that this election will be decided by thousands of votes in a few states means even if Obama and Springsteen get a few people to vote, it could make a difference.
