Only a politician as focused and high-mind as Barack Obama can make a joke about Donald Trump ’s anatomy and it’s the other guy that looks crass. That’s what happened tonight at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago as the classy 44 th President of the Untied States addressed a fired up United Center on why the 45 th POTUS needs to be denied a return to the White House by Kamala Harris in November. “He’s a 78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems since he wrote down his golden escalator nine years ago,” Obama said in his classic circumspect style of his Republican successor.
“It has been a constant stream of gripes and grievances that’s actually been getting worse now that he’s afraid of losing to Kamala.” Since being endorsed by Joe Biden when the current POTUS announced he was stepping aside in the election in late July, the Veep has seen her poll numbers steadily rise. Torpedoing a widely presumed GOP landslide coming out of Biden’s disastrous June 27 debate performance, Harris is now ahead of Trump nationally and in most battleground states in most polls.
To that, the nation’s first Black president Tuesday vehemently praised his “friend,” “brother,” Vice President and current President Joe Biden as a savior of democracy. Obama was also clearly joyous in helping to try to secure the election of the first Black woman to the presidency – a rare second chance in American politics after he was unable to he.
