Did you have fun last night? I certainly did! How can you not be fascinated by former President Barack Obama and his incredible wife, former First Lady Michelle Obama? Yes, they have unmatched oratorical skills and the ability to engage the crowd with jaw-dropping lines, but they are also an exceptional comedy team.

Not since George Burns and Gracie Allen has America seen a married couple that can deliver punchlines with aplomb. Granted, only those of us who have reached a certain age will understand this metaphor. As someone who has tried stand-up comedy, I know that their pauses, mannerisms and winking expressions are innate skills—they are not learned.

I would love to sit down and drink wine with Barack and Michelle! We would have so much fun!

Her attacks on former President Donald Trump were spot on. Other speakers last night included Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and former Trump press secretary Stephanie Grisham, who also drew outcry.

Below are some of the best lines spoken from the podium on the second night of the Democratic National Convention. If you wanted to watch a television comedy last night, you would have been better off switching to the cable channels that carry the convention speakers.

“Who’s going to tell him that the job he’s looking for might be one of those ‘black jobs’?” asked Michelle Obama.

When Donald Trump talks about immigrants taking “black jobs,” it’s racist and disgusting, but it also opens the door to humor. The utter absurdity of claiming there are black jobs is silly and stupid, and Michelle Obama summed it up perfectly.

“She understands that most of us will never be given the grace to fail forward. We will never benefit from the positive discrimination of generational wealth,” said Michelle Obama.

Trump hates, hates, hates anyone who questions that wealth and the fact that his father gave him millions of dollars to launch his unsuccessful career. And watching Trump beat himself to the punch trying to explain affirmative action is like watching Houdini thrash around in a crate of water.

“Not only do we have incredible energy at our convention, we have even more energy where their convention was. Oh, that one guy is going to be so sad tonight,” says Tim Walz.

Walz, speaking from Milwaukee last night in a joint appearance with Vice President Harris in the packed Republican convention hall, knows how sensitive Trump is to crowd size and enthusiasm. While it’s odd and obviously not a big deal for voters, it’s an obsession for the narcissistic Trump.

“There are the childish nicknames, the crazy conspiracy theories, this weird obsession with crowd size,” said Barack Obama.

OK, Obama is talking about the size of the crowd, but being the master comedian that he is, he spread his hands a little and looked down at them with a glint in his eye. Was Obama referring to something else that Trump is very touchy about?

“Take it from a real billionaire: Trump is rich in only one thing: stupidity,” said JB Pritzker.

A one-two punch from the billionaire and governor of Illinois. Questioning Trump’s money – he claims to be a billionaire, but many others claim the opposite – and his “stable genius” are two reasons Trump rants and rages on Truth Social.

“We don’t need four more years of noise, stumbling and chaos. We’ve seen this movie before and we all know that the sequel is usually even worse.”Barack Obama.

When asked if he considered himself a “star,” Trump replied during E. Jean Carroll’s testimony, “I think you could say that, yes.” Trump also claims that he, to put it loosely, introduced NBC to The Apprentice. Criticizing Trump, who is probably on the D-list, sends goosebumps down his spine.

“I am the only person after Michelle Obama stupid enough to speak,” Barack Obama.

It’s not about Trump, but what a great line and a way to ingratiate himself with his wife.

“For generations, people have debated when to call the person they’re being set up with. And no one has ever suggested 8:30 a.m.,” said Doug Emhoff.

The same rules apply here as above. I’ve also given you two breaks from Trump, and now it’s back to our regular program.

“I saw him when the cameras were off … Trump mocks his supporters. He calls them basement dwellers,” said former Trump press secretary Stephanie Grisham.

I can’t wait for someone to take the term “basement dwellers” and use it in a campaign ad showing what Trump thinks about his base.

“The other day I heard someone compare Trump to the neighbor who runs his leaf blower outside your window every minute of the day,” said Barack Obama.

Wow, Trump is often called a show-off, but a leaf blower at your window…priceless. Obama owes the person who told him that 10% royalties because I think that’s an extremely popular meme.

“Donald hasn’t been in a grocery store since his first bankruptcy. Illinois invested in clean energy and the jobs that come with it. Donald claimed windmills in the ocean were making the whales “a little crazy.” JB Pritzker.

This statement is flawless and shows that Trump is out of touch with the needs of ordinary people and is completely insane.

“We do not have the luxury of complaining or deceiving others. When we see a mountain in our path, we do not expect an escalator to take us to the top,” said Michelle Obama.

“He hasn’t stopped complaining about his problems since he rode down the golden escalator nine years ago,” said Barack Obama.

This is where the comparison between George Burns and Gracie Allen is most obvious. Both Obamas echo Trump’s staged, contrived, and insane elevator ride when he declared his candidacy for president in 2015.

“You know what I’m talking about? It’s the contagious power of hope!” she said. “The exhilaration of once again being on the cusp of a better day… America, hope is making a comeback,” Michelle Obama said.

This line has nothing to do with Trump, but with how Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are bringing back hope and Trump and Vance are showing their grim views. In fact, Harris is taking up the baton of hope passed to her by Burns and Allen, er, Barack and Michelle.
