Obama Makes Joke About Confirmation Process ... No One Laughs

Real Clear Politics ^

"Back in the 80's, Richard was also a five-time Jeopardy champion and a semi-finalist in the Tournament of Champions. Not too shabby," President Obama said as he announced the nomination of Richard Cordray to run the consumer bureau on Monday. "That's why all his confirmation -- all the answers at his confirmation hearings will be in a form of a question," Obama said to silence. "That's a joke," he reminded the audience.

The "One" has lost his appeal...

[Recon Dad]

“That’s a joke,” he reminded the audience.

No, he’s the joke!

[FrankR]

obama does very little at which one can laugh, even though he is the biggest joke to ever walk through the White House doors...

[Bean Counter]

“That’s a joke, AH SAY, that’s a joke, son! Pay attention when I’m talkin’ to ya boy! You think I’m talkin’ just ta hear mah head roar??!!”

[Kakaze]

If you have to “explain” it is a joke............guess what it is not funny.

[SharpRightTurn]

“Obama said to silence. “That’s a joke,” he reminded the audience.”

The joke’s on you, punk.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Obama is no laughing matter.

This is a joke!

[ILS21R]

“That’s a joke” was actually on his teleprompter.

The notion that B-HO is qualified to do anything (other than scratch himself) is the real joke. He is the poster boy for stupid, lazy, and worthless people everywhere.

The monkey one made me spit up my coffee!

[LibLieSlayer]

He is as appealing as Herpes Simplex II.

I hate to admit it, but that's a pretty fair joke. At least if you've watched enough Jeopardy.
I hope this means that people are just so sick of Obama that even if he finally comes up with something clever*, no one acknowledges it.

This is a step in the right direction!

*So far he only scores this one point

[PATRIOT1876]

Obama started a joke. Which started the whole world crying.
But I didn't see that the joke was on us.

Oh, no, I started to cry. Which started the whole world voting.
Oh, if the voters had only seen that the joke was on them.

I looked at the television. Running my hands over my eyes.
And I fell out of bed. Hurting my heads from things that Obama said.

“That boy is about as sharp as a bowling ball.”

[Bean Counter]

“Nice boy, but he’s about as sharp as a sack o’ wet mice...”

GMTA ... my thought was that if GWB (or Bill Clinton, for that matter) made the same joke, there would have been a least a few chuckles. This guy, however, is just insufferable ... obviously, even his sycophants are getting bored with him.

[Buckeye McFrog]

But will he ask to buy a vowel?

[layman]

all the answers will be in a form of a question

"You know what I'm sayin' .... like my press secretary."

[agere_contra]

Agreed - it reads as an excellent joke.

His delivery must have sucked ass.

[Pigsley]

I, too, thought the joke was okay and deserved a few chuckles from the dopes in the press pool. That they DID NOT LAUGH is telling.

I’ve been waiting for mass defection away from the Boy Blunder as his poll #’s dropped and the MSM start realizing they will soon be exposed.

Not the best analogy, but remember Michael Jackson? He was the most beloved entertainer in the country (world!) then a mere 5 years later a joke and pariah. I can see this happening to Barry, especially if the Fast and Furious crap sticks to him and there are hearings. The MSM will HAVE to cover it and it will give them a chance to turn on him.

Well, one can hope and pray!
