Michelle Obama's "hey who's going to tell him that the job he's applying for is one of those "black jobs"?" was an absolute killer line! Loved it!

No whining, no petty name calling/nicknames, and a vocabulary of more than four words. Just stating the facts.

A President, dimpled tie, perfectly cut tailored suit, and the most eloquent, hilarious, compassionate, intelligent speaker- EVER.
