BARACK SLAYS AT THE 2008 AL SMITH DINNER

Discussing politics really isn't my bag, but I have to tell you his comedic timing is spot on.

I've overhear people saying " Oh, someone wrote those zingers for him" but even the best comedians use writers and good writing is only half of the comedic equation, a good comedian knows how to pace the joke, deliver the joke with a straight face as he takes you one way with the gag, changes tempo, and takes you to another place when delivering a punch line.

If you want to see what I mean, check out George Carlin. He was a masters of great comedic delivery

I'm a connoisseur of good stand up comedy and comedic timing and I have to tell you Barack is spot on.
