Michelle Obama : Presidency might be a Black Job again

Michelle Obama hits Trump over ‘Black jobs’ remark

Michelle Obama’s speech was the night’s highlight for many, and she left a Democratic crowd enthralled with attacks on former President Trump.

The biggest moment in her address was when Obama zeroed in on comments Trump made during his debate against Biden earlier this year in which he claimed immigrants were taking “Black jobs.”

“For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power to try to make people fear us,” Obama said, referring to herself and her husband. “His limited and narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hardworking, highly educated, successful people who also happened to be Black.”

“By the way — who’s going to tell him that the job he’s currently seeking might just be one of those ‘Black jobs?’” she said.

Obama garnered roaring applause throughout her remarks, but the Black jobs moment might have been the biggest.

Michelle Obama slammed Trump for “failing upward” thanks to “the affirmative action of generational wealth.”

And Barack Obama took a barely-veiled shot at former President Donald Trump’s manhood by suggesting that Trump’s obsession with crowd sizes is about something more personal.


They Ripped the Roof off of This Place Tonight’: Republican Strategist Warns GOP During Glowing Assessment of Democratic Convention

Well, first of all, I think the Democrats should be congratulated for this night. It was well-produced. The music, the Obamas, the whole thing worked for them tonight. I think the contrast that I see – and I don’t know which is gonna win – but we’re seeing the contrast of the politics of combat versus the politics of compassion. That’s what the Obamas were trying to set up tonight in my judgment.

I should warn my fellow Republicans that we heard two of the greatest political communicators in the country tonight. Now, we had Hulkamania. The Democrats have Obamamania. They ripped the roof off of this place tonight. These Democrats are fired up. They’re not playin’, ok?

He later added, “But bottom line tonight – this convention is working for them. Michelle Obama is, I mean, she’s an incredible speaker and you cannot deny the power of what happened in the hall tonight.”
