Let’s face it. Comedians know they will get slammed for going after Obama and nearly all of them are cowards at heart.

What do you get when you cross a pathological narcissist with a domineering radical?

Sasha and Malia.

“But Obama, with his obvious smarts, low-key style and (most important) ability to catch the prevailing tone of irony and laugh at himself, has left the comics with little to hang their punch lines on.”

If he could laugh at himself, comedians wouldn’t be so worried being called racists!

Obama could never get away with the kind of sexual shenanigans that Clinton did, he mused, because Michelle wouldn't stand for it: "She would impeach him herself!"

Soooooooooooo lame. Did anyone even laugh at that?

You couldn’t get away with jokes about Hitler in Germany, either.

Sorry but I stopped reading at this slop:

"What the heck were political comedians going to do? For eight years they had enjoyed a comedic gift from the gods in George W. Bush, whose bumbling presidency provided even richer material than the cartoonish excesses of the Clinton years. But Obama, with his obvious smarts, low-key style and..."

“acting stupidly”

“I won”

“I am the President”

flag@whitehouse.com

“rising oceans stopped”

Add to those morsels his narcissist complex and megalomania, and there is a bottomless pit of ammo for humor. But most of the popular comedians today are commies too so why would they ridicule their master?

There are mountains of material that could be used to make jokes about Obama. It's amazing to me that comedians just refuse to go there.

I've long maintained that the entertainment and news businesses are not about entertainment or news. They are just propaganda arms. Profits are not the point. Hearts and minds are the point.

The best part of this is that they do not have to make jokes about “Mack Daddy the Zebra” because the entire world know that he already is a joke by himself.

If making jokes is bad because it’s somehow “racist”, then it’s just as “Racist” making jokes about a white president.

Here is one they can use:

The post office came out with an obama stamp. People immediately started complaining that they did not stick to envelopes. So the PO commissioned a $2mill study only to find out that people were spitting on the wrong side.

It is amazing what cowards these entertainers are! So rigidly marching to the left’s narrow and concrete orders and staying within the fine line of what is allowable.

Tear down families, religion, the US but don’t make fun of blue-lipped president of the 57 States of this muslim nation.

Obama has bummbled more in the first 6 months than Bush.

Cowards supported by cowards.

Making jokes about Barack Obama is the big test for political comedians these days

Rush Limbaugh makes jokes about Obama day in, day out for three hours at a time. But I guess only liberal comedians count.
