At last, we know the reason why comedy writers don’t make fun of President Obama much.

It turns out the man is completely unmockable.

His words are complete crap. If there was nothing to write comedy about, there would be no Pookie Toons.

I guess what I mean is, what benefit to the regime by getting rid of the two groups that do their dirty work the best (lie, cover-up, selective reporting, rewriting history etc.) When you have built-in, happy-to-do-your-bidding propogandists, why mess that up?

Comedians, at least today’s comedians, are all about tearing down anything decent, praise worthy, lovely, productive,good. And elevating or making light of anything ugly, filthy, depraved, sinful so as to make it more acceptable. Yes, they will mock druggies, pimps and prostituted but only to desensitize us to those phenomena.

Somehow, Obama doesn’t fit. They can’t tear him down as the good they think he is and he doesn’t meet their criteria for low and depraved. Therefore, untouchable.

Maybe they have received credible threats that ugly things will happen to them or their companies?

Obama is protected from all mockery and most criticism by his skin color.

The SNL comedian who mocked obama with this.

Dropped dead of "natural causes" shortly thereafter.

Age 48.

Anaphylactic shock.

It sure can be handy to have unfettered access to an enemy's medical records.

Just sayin'...

Three are funny and one is a phony.

“The funny thing is if there ever were a serious attempt to move to a dictatorship, the press and Hollywood would be lined up and shot first...

And why?”

Because they are useless to society after serving their purpose as “useful idiots.”

Most of today’s “comedians” aren’t comedians, they are professional scoffers. (Yes, you can now make a living by being the sort of person the Psalmist and the Holy Apostle Peter condemned.)

Praying that he’d go back to the golf course and leave them in peace.
