Obama makes O.J. Simpson joke

SAN FRANCISCO – O.J. Simpson jokes are apparently now fair game in presidential politics.

President Obama invoked the former NFL star acquitted of murder Monday night during a fundraiser here during a riff about Sesame Street characters on the run from Mitt Romney seeking to cut federal funding from public broadcasting.

“Elmo has been seen in a white Suburban,” Obama said. “He’s driving for the border.”

Simpson, of course, traveled in a white Ford Bronco, not a Chevrolet Suburban, during his infamous 1994 low-speed chase through Los Angeles.

Man, Obama is even more pathetic than I thought.

If you have to keep explaining that you didn’t get your ass kicked - you got your ass kicked.

Hey, Zero, there is nothing funny about someone who murdered two beings in cold blood and got away with it.

Nothing.

He's come to believe he's a comedy genius because people laugh at all his low wattage sophomoric jokes. Here's his comedy gold from the first debate:

Sarcastic tone: There are a lot of points that I want to make tonight, but the most important one is that 20 years ago I became the luckiest man on earth because Michelle Obama agreed to marry me. (Laughter.) And so I just want to wish, Sweetie, you happy anniversary and let you know that a year from now, we will not be celebrating it in front of 40 million people. (Laughter.)

I have become fond of this term, “Obamacare” -- (laughter)

MR. LEHRER: Two minutes is up, sir.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: No, I -- I think I’ve -- I had five seconds before you interrupted me (laughter)

Well, first of all, I think Governor Romney’s going to have a busy first day, because he’s also going to repeal “Obamacare,” which will not be very popular among Democrats as you’re sitting down with them. (Laughter.)

People laugh because they don't know how else to react to this affirmative action freak.

Wow, in the speech Obama mentions Big Bird thirteen times and fails to mention the economy once.

As someone else said, while Romney is on the road to Benghazi, Obama is stuck on Sesame Street.

When the police said they were chasing a slow white Bronco I remember thinking, “What did John Elway do”?

Is OJ in prison on a federal charge?

I wonder if he’ll get a POTUS pardon in January.

This joke dovetails perfectly with his 2007 speech excusing blacks for rioting. He hasn't changed a bit.

Reply: “Does that mean you would also favor federal subsidies to O.J., if you win a 2nd term?”

I would like to know which muppets Elmo decapitated.

Four years ago, I began praying for the leftists to begin showing us what is inside them by their words.

Thanks Lord, you are doing me proud.
