Barack Obama pokes fun at Trump while endorsing Harris and Walz ticket

Former president Barack Obama strode on stage, introduced by his wife, Michelle Obama. 'I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling fired up!', Obama said to applause at the DNC.

He praised his former vice-president and current president Joe Biden before moving on to attack the Republican nominee Donald Trump. Obama brought the crowd to its feet when he described Kamala Harris and Tim Walz as leaders who would care about blue-collar workers. 'Kamala will be that president', he said, after which someone from the crowd yelled out, 'Yes, she can' (a spin on Obama's former campaign slogan). Obama echoed the comment and then chants from the audience could be heard, saying, 'yes, she can!'

Obama would still be president today if it was not for the term limit.

Regardless of politics this guy is a great public speaker, just compare this to Biden or Trump speaking. 😂

As a foreigner, this is how we expect the President of the most powerful country in the world to be. To be charismatic, strong, Not looking like some kind of a person playing a Gimmick, and definitely not making a joke ouf of himself.
