A double dose of Obama firepower, a doting spouse and a dance party: Takeaways from Day 2 of the DNC

CHICAGO (AP) — The Democratic National Convention’s second night showcased a double dose of Obama firepower to validate Vice President Kamala Harris and deliver an unsparing indictment of Republican Donald Trump. The convention also served up a raucous roll call of states that was essentially one big dance party.

If the Republican convention was all about Trump, the Democrats on Tuesday wanted to put Harris in a pantheon with past presidents.

The biggest validators of the night were former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle. The latter linked Harris with her husband by telling the rapt crowd, “America, hope is making a comeback.”

The Obamas did not hold back in lacing into Trump. Michelle Obama’s well-worn adage from years past that “when they go low, we go high” no longer seemed operative.

Barack Obama called Trump “a 78-year-old billionaire who hasn’t stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago.”

Michelle Obama also took a personal swipe, saying: “For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power to try to make people fear us. His limited and narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hardworking, highly educated, successful people who also happened to be Black.”

Playing off her famous line about Republicans going low, Michelle Obama suggested that Trump was going “small” and that “it’s unhealthy, and quite frankly, it’s unpresidential.”

Barak was vintage. The inflection in his speech, the pause at the right time and the way he turned his head and used his hands at the right time. Combine it with the lefts need for a Messiah and you’ll know why we can’t compete with that. No teleprompter reading as he’s always charged. No way he could have been reading it the way he kept moving his head. Plus he wasn’t vindictive like the others as he doesn’t have to be.

The good news is that there’s not another out there. Why else would their schtick switch to ‘joy’.

I completely disagree. Republicans sat back and let Obama trash and destroy this nation because they were too scared to criticize him. Anyone criticizing his policies is RACIST!!!

Obama is BLACK! You can’t question anything he does! Or you’re a RACIST!

In fact, we can NOT enforce the NBC clause in the Constitution because that is RACIST!

Obama reads the teleprompter all the time, he has 180 degrees if not higher of various screens around him.
In terms of mannerisms he just practices a lot.

Btw, any fool who trust a politician speaking in cadences deserves to have their pocket picked. Obama is a salesman with an extensive network of wealthy and influential individuals. Yes he fools a lot of people, but so did Clark Stanley.

Obama is not impressive at all from a philosophical level, his intellect is extremely shallow based on when he does not have the luxury of a teleprompter telling him what to say. The blasphemous reprobate trips over his words and forgets what he believes (If anything besides his narcissistic self interests).

Watching Barack and Michelle speak would be like being forced to watch Hitler speak. Though evil to the core, all are very good propagandists and liars.

“Obama is BLACK!”

Actually.... he’s only half black as his mother is white.

Now... who’s the racist.

“two hardworking, highly educated, successful people who also happened to be Black”

I have no idea who you are referring to, Moochelle. It certainly doesn’t apply to a grifter like you and a lazy, unqualified marxist like Barry.

The quote from The Epoch Times, Obama’s comment “America is ready for a new chapter,” is saying he plans to complete the “Transformation of America” he started in 2008. If they win(steal) the election, they will be going for the final nail to bring down America and we saw part of their army in the streets of Chicago chanting for the destruction of America. They are embolden and only by the grace of GOD they will be restrained.

His mother and maternal grandparents were white. Those evil whites stuck around to feed, shelter, and raise Barack. His black father, playing into a common stereotype, abandoned him.

It’s getting to the time for calling for our enemies to nuke our pods. The zips are inside our wire.
