Would the fact that Obama is black and Marlon is black have anything to do with it? The vast majority of blacks see Obama as their Black Messiah. He is leading his people out from the slavery of their white taskmasters to the land flowing with Cadillacs and Obamacare.

It’s because we are all so busy keeping our tires inflated while we visit all 57 states of this muslim nation waiting for our premiums to go down $3000 percent. We hope to pass through that town in Kansas where 10,000 people died.

“My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world.
I hope you’ll join with me as we try to change it.”
- Barack Obama

Tough to crack?

The comedy is endless...

“Actor and comedian Marlon Wayans said it is “tough” to make jokes about President Barack Obama because he’s “actually trying to do something good” but added that “they had a field day with Bush” and “the Sarah Palin jokes are hilarious.” Film Director Judd Apatow said he agreed with Wayans. “

What he means is that it’s hard to makes jokes about Obama because he has more pigmentation in his skin than the Bush or Palin. That’s what it all boils down to and to deny it is stupid.

I’m sad that so many black celebrities have lost their ever loving mind in wishing that Obama was better than he is and instead make me not care to give them a dime of my money ever again.

I don’t support racists, no matter what color they are.

He's the guy who played the idiot stoner in the first two “Scary Movies”.

Obviously, as an actor, he's not interested in stretching himself.

I have a "Movie Rule-of-Thumb".

If a movie has a Wayans in it, it is destined to suck.

"Wayans (pictured left) said, “Honestly, I haven’t seen any hilarity yet. I think he’s a tough one because he’s actually trying to do something good. Like, they had a field day with Bush -- Bush jokes all day. But I haven’t seen a really good one [about Obama].”

I'd say that's an accurate summation of the MSM's editorial policy, too. Obama is committed to expanding the welfare state, the holiest of their sacred cows, so they feel very uncomfortable reporting anything negative about him.

And thus beware the wailing and gnashing of teeth, oh, and the car burning, looting, and general civil unrest when Bobo is unceremoniously tossed out on his ass in 2012.

A lot of blacks are dishonestly trying to uphold Obama's 'reputation' as a serious intellectual. They see him failing as a mark against the entire black community.

Quite pathetic, actually.
