On the second night of the Democratic National Convention, the party rolled out its royalty with attendees going wild over appearances by former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama.
And while the thousands of obedient sycophants worshiped their presence, the words the pair delivered were telling as the coordinated message was delivered that Vice President Kamala Harris was the best thing to happen to the party and that former President Donald Trump was evil incarnate.
Rather than present a solid case for a Harris-Walz administration, Barack Obama took to the stage to roast his successor, igniting social media when it appeared he made a crude joke about the 45th president and his “weird obsession with crowd sizes.”

His remarks lit up social media on both sides of the aisle.
We all knew what that hand gesture meant @BarackObama. @realDonaldTrump is OBSESSED 🤏🏼with crowd sizes. #Obama #DNC2024 #tiny pic.twitter.com/D462H1q126

Did Obama really try & use his hands for “measuring” crowd size? Insinuating something about Trump?
Really?
Trump was literally shot last month & Obama is trying to be funny? He needs to go back to one of his million dollar homes. All which have huge walls surrounding them!

Obama’s jab at Trump’s crowd size is rich coming from a party that needs rappers to fill their events.
Maybe instead of criticizing, they should focus on getting people excited about their own policies.
It’s clear who really draws a crowd and who’s struggling for relevance

Michelle Obama also drew heavy reaction from her fawning praise of Harris and her lack of self-awareness in admitting the “palpable sense of dread about the future” she’s had.

The fact that Democrats like the Obamas did not feel “joy” while their puppet Joe Biden was in the Oval Office was a glaring revelation to many X users.
That Biden leading the ticket was going to end in complete disaster. So we organised a coup to solve that dilemma.

She knew Joe had to go

A successful coup always livens up the spirits.

You might have used that ‘palpable sense of dread’ a little earlier and come up with a new candidate legally.

Predictably, the race and gender of the Democratic nominee were at the center of the former first lady’s cheerleading for Harris who “happens to be black.”
“My girl, Kamala Harris, is more than ready for this moment. She is one of the most qualified people ever to seek the office of the presidency and she is one of the most dignified,” Obama said with no sense of irony.
Funny…I don’t remember Michelle saying this about her girl during the 2020 Democratic primaries.

The ability to say that with a straight face is surely evidence of sociopathy.

In a final blow of hypocrisy, Michelle Obama described how her parents were “suspicious of folks who took more than they needed.”
The Obama’s have a net worth of $70 million. They own 4 luxurious properties:
– Washington DC home bought for $8.1M
– Martha’s Vineyard home bought for $11.75M
– Beachfront home in Hawaii bought for $8.7M
– Chicago home bought for $1.65M
