Julian Zelizer : Barack and Michelle Obama are done turning the other cheek, and Democrats couldn’t be happier.

Zelizer says the former president and his wife released years of pent-up passion in a single volcanic speech.

Michelle Obama spoke with the force of a spring uncoiled and the determination of a balled-up fist, Zelizer writes.

He says the rise of the MAGA wing of the Republican Party was a response to the Obama presidency.

Michelle Obama said Kamala Harris was “a tribute to her mother, to my mother, and to your mother too” Chabria , Barabak and Chabra: Obama delivered two speeches, one excoriating Trump .

Emhoff painted a cozy picture of his life with Harris , their love story and their blended family.

He was earnest and relatable in a way few political figures are, and his breezy delivery was endearing.
