(11,738 posts)Especially after the "fiasco that keeps on giving" that is Trump. He sounds, at the same time so scholarly and erudite but so warm, down to earth, and genuinely funny.
I like President Biden's down to earth speech as well, but no one in the last 50 years can hold a candle to President Obama.

(724 posts)His intellect is so impressive and his comic timing is amazing. He could have had great success in any number of fields but I am so happy he chose a life of public service. Michelle is also so very impressive, what a wonderful couple and what a blessing to our country.

(11,738 posts)I don't think that President Obama would have been as successful as he has been without such a talented and solid partner.
The craziest thing, that Conservatives would never accept because of their limiting ideology is that the Obama's are the EPITOME of AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM. Both came from relatively humble beginnings and faced hardship, and through their talents and work, changed the world.
They think Trump exemplifies American Exceptionalism. A kid with mediocre at best, talents, who through being born to an exceptionally wealthy family, was able to lie, cheat, and steal his way into power, who has no human grace or dignity, no class, and is intellectually lazy and incurious.
