Even Lefty Comics Now Going After Obama
Radix News ^ | October 28, 2014 | David Limbaugh

Do you all realize what a major deal it is that liberal comics are now openly ridiculing President Obama — and not just for his mannerisms and the like but based on his abject policy failures?

In his first few years and beyond, liberal funnymen sometimes complained that Obama was so flawless that he didn’t provide them any material.

Of course, we knew at the time that this otherworldly caricature of Obama was wholly mythical, but it was nonetheless very real in the eyes of its liberal beholders. They regarded him with a quasi-idolatrous zeal — almost as though it would be sacrilegious to criticize, much less mock, him.

But on “Saturday Night Live,” among other shows, the comics have grown increasingly derisive. In the most recent episode, the Obama character lamented that a New York doctor had been diagnosed with Ebola. He said: “Now, some people want to criticize the way our administration has handled this crisis, and it’s true we made a few mistakes early on. But, I assure you, it was nowhere near as bad as how we handled the ISIS situation. I mean, our various Secret Service mishaps or the scandals of the IRS and NSA. And I don’t know if you guys remember, but the Obamacare website had some pretty serious problems, too. In fact, if you look at all the stuff that’s happened in my second term, this whole Ebola thing is probably one of my greatest accomplishments.”

Folks, this would be bad for the least politically correct president ever, but it’s devastatingly brutal for the most politically correct president in the history of the universe.

Donkeys have big ears and are stubborn, I would even say stupid. But their lack of perception leads them to think they are the smartest in the room.

BFD. Obama can’t be re-elected, so criticizing him now costs them nothing. They’ll continue dumping all over anyone right of center with the excuse of “we did the same to Obama,” when anyone complains.

Nah, they are just trying to make Hilary or Warren look good in comparison.

Yes. It does not matter anymore, since he won a second term and cannot run again.

Good point; they’re playing “impartial” now that he’s safely re-elected. They are part of the left’s propaganda mill, with their specific age demographic in mind.

It could be some of that...re-girding their credibility armor, so to speak, so when they really get down and fawning over Hillary they can say "Hey, look. We're credible. We told it like it was for Obama, didn't we?"

Yeah. It seems some of them now are. Doesn't mean a whit's bit of difference now that he's entrenched in a second term.

I don’t think this will matter. No matter how bad the liberals are, they think they are better than any conservative.

Let’s see if any of the jokes go to Hilary. Talk about thin skinned.

It amazes me how stupid people can be; besides being convinced by TV on who to vote for, I think many others get the message that it doesn’t matter (and they don’t bother).
