And why does it take 6 years of bruising before Democratic presidents start kicking asses this smart?

He's really got his game on... seems to be riffing without the teleprompter.

I forgot about "Go on..."

But maybe I'm just frustrated that displays of wit like this have to be used sparingly by a president even in a time when the content of stupid among the opposition is so unbearably fat.

Like, in this clip, perfect timing and tone. He got halfway through his "these guys" follow-up line but the laughter was still too loud, so he waited, repeated the intro. and really got the most out of it.

You're right; it's a skill he can't use enough, given the target.
