He is not a practical joke on America. He is a curse on America. There is nothing funny or amusing about Obama and his regime of thugs.
I believe your looking at it ass backward.
It is funny because enough Americans VOTED for him so as to put him in power. The CURSE you speak of is a CHOICE that the majority of VOTERS CHOSE to endure. They championed his election.
"What you see is what you get" is NOT what they GOT. That's funny to me because, even though you and I have to endure the Obumbler's BS actions and decisions, it warms the cockles of my heart when someone who VOTED for Obozo is served up their first warm bowl of $hit to consume and starts howling with concern.
Just enjoy the show and DON'T fret. Obama has and will continue to do his damage but I believe America will survive the Obama $hit cycle.
