President Obama jokes about Clinton’s emails, Scott Walker and marijuana...
Washington Post ^ | March 15, 2015 | y Ben Terris and Roxanne Roberts

"....The president—speaking at the dinner for a third time as president, fourth time overall — told the room that Democrats had determined they needed to do better with older white voters....

Why is this night different from all other nights? Because on this night, when Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker makes a joke about Hillary Clinton, it’s not part of a future negative ad campaign.

“I really do have a lot of close friends who are Democrats,” said Walker, serving as the official Republican speaker for the evening. “ I even have Hillary’s private email. . . It’s HillaryClinton@Wallstreet.com. You know the best part of that joke, Elizabeth Warren wrote it for me.”

Big laughs all around, even though soon enough half the room will be out to get him. And it didn’t take long for someone to get retribution. But only jokingly of course.

“I’m sure Governor Walker has some really neat accomplishments,” said Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe. “I mean, it’s literally been years since his own constituents tried to recall him.”

Obama got in on the Walker bashing a little too, but made sure to poke fun of himself in the process.

“[Walker] punted on the question of evolution, which I do think is a problem,” Obama said. “I absolutely believe in the theory of evolution — when it comes to gay marriage.”

With a guest list of 650 — a fraction the size of the much-hyped White House Correspondents’ Association dinner — Gridiron is arguably a far more coveted ticket within Beltway circles. Gridiron is also the most insular of the city’s press dinners. None of the speakers have to play to C-SPAN or CNN cameras, so they keep it for Washington, by Washington, with insider jokes designed for VIP political junkies who breathlessly parse every off-hand aside for hidden meaning........

“I absolutely believe in the theory of evolution — when it comes to gay marriage.”

Obama sucks. He can’t even make funny jokes. Perfectly useless in all respects.

He sure manages to work the word “gay” into every speech these days.

That’s so we’ll all be used to him using the word by the time he comes out of the closet.

I think it would truly be an evolution if we actually caught Obama and family in a Christian Church more than three times in 6 years.

No, seriously, folks. Remember, he told the white-tie crowd of elite journalists, when he was considered the tech-savvy hipster in the executive mansion? But now, “Hillary has a server in her house!” he exclaimed. “I didn’t even know you could have one of those. I am so far behind.”

No, Zero, you moron! The server is in Seacaucus, housed in Internap Network Services' New York Metro Data Center:

It may well have been at her house while she was Secretary, but it's not there now! It's migrated to the Cloud!

Or maybe the Seacaucus box is a decoy?

I wonder when he will “come out of the proverbial closet” as an atheist?

If the people really wanted to recall Scott Walker, they would have recalled him and not re-elected him. As the vote results show, some people staged an attempt to recall him, and vote him out of office, but really didn’t reflect on the actual voter will for the state of Wisconsin.

There’s a much better chance of him admitting he’s a Muslim rather than an atheist.

I am not so sure, because he does side with atheists quite a bit, he mostly plays up to Muslims to win some points. It’s not out of the ordinary for an atheist to go and be on the attack against some religious group that most others don’t like for the day.

All I see is that he’s condemned Christianity and working to destroy Israel. To me he said it all with “.....the sweetest sound I ever heard....”

ha ha....well, yes! Look at it this way, any putz that has to be corrected by Little Georgie Stephanopolis about what his faith is doesn’t even deserve to be interviewed in the first place, let alone President of the United States.

“All I see is that he’s condemned Christianity and working to destroy Israel. To me he said it all with “.....the sweetest sound I ever heard....””

And to that, I certainly agree, either way, he’s no friend of orthodox (traditional) Christianity, and certainly no friend of Israel, which tolerates Jews, Christians, and even others, more than much of the remainder of the Middle East. They even, for some odd reason which I don’t understand, tolerate homosexuals so much that if a liberal had any consistency in logic, and weren’t so full of cognitive dissonance, they would support Israel with open arms.
