He's a laugh a second.
This is their response to this week's news cycle that's hovering like a drone over the the target - the spectacle of his lack of leadership and questions about why that is.
Even Obama's VP - "That's Just Joe" - filmed overtly snuggling the neck and rubbing the shoulders of the wife of Ashton Carter standing behind her husband as he was being sworn in as the U.S. Secretary of Defense, couldn't help Obama.
NRO: “While relentlessly mocking his GOP opponents during the DNC’s annual winter meeting on Friday, President Obama had some unexpectedly “kind” words for one congressional Republican — Kentucky Senator Rand Paul.
The president was midway through a shtick on how the Republican Party was trying to steal Democratic ideas on middle class economics when he referred to the libertarian lawmaker and likely 2016 presidential candidate.
“Rand Paul!” he began, to groans from the crowd. “No, Rand’s an interesting guy,” Obama corrected, causing his audience to burst into laughter.
“No, he is!” the president insisted. Obama called it “encouraging” that Paul recently declared the GOP should go to the South Side of Chicago and “shout at the top of its lungs that the GOP is the ticket to the middle class.”
“I want parties to compete everywhere,” the president said. “I think that’s a good thing.” “And I was just home on the South Side of Chicago yesterday,” he continued. “And I guarantee you that Senator Paul would be welcome there. We are a friendly bunch.
I mean it’s a little strange if people show up and just start shouting at the top of their lungs. But we’re friendly, and it’d be ok.”
The president then flashed a knowing smile, prompting guffaws from the Democratic audience.
Paul is one of a handful of national Republicans trying to make inroads in the African-American community — a fact the president was perhaps referring to with his “South Side” shout-out to the senator.

Remember his “corps-man” mispronunciation? This president is a real comedian; how did he ever get re-elected ...
The Hill “newspaper” really thinks he “quipped” all those lines off the cuff? Oh come on!
