The idea that comedians can't find anything funny about Obama is ludicrous. It's been nothing but screw up after screw up.

It would be hard to keep all of the lies straight
without the use of a teleprompter.

Well, in the spectrum which ranges from the comical to the tragicomical to the tragic, where are we right now?

Are we still at the point that we can laugh about this disaster?

the writers don’t want to be seen as racists, hence no jokes about a man who oozes material for jokes.

Because he knows that he’s a dimwit and he is terrified that it’ll become obvious to everyone else.

Only problem is, most of us already know it. The rest will figure it out soon enough.

but comedians are having a hard time finding any material to make jokes about President Obama

It might be a black problem... in that case go after the tax cheats on the cabinet, nancy, harry and plugs... that would be a good start.

I would think that President Obama’s preference for tax cheats to man his administration would be worth a joke or two.

If Leno had the guts, he'd open the show with him standing at a teleprompter to do his monologue.

If he REALLY had guts, he'd have one at his desk for displaying the questions for his guests, and then set one up for a guest (who is playing along). THAT would be funny!

merciless ridicule

Gerald Ford and Dan Quayle come immediately to mind. The press obsessed on their "foibles" relentlessly performing it's role as a conservative bashing machine.

his use of a teleprompter to give his initial presentation as well as in answering questions

How can it be a press conference if he can use a teleprompter?

Only way is to give the questions to "plants" in the press corps and then call on them in sequence of the script.

MSM should, but imost definitely is not, ashamed of their malfeasance where this dolt is concerned.

Hillary's testicle lock box has been replaced with 0bama's MSM testicle lock box.

Better get used to it.....Obama gets the kind of coverage Castro receives in Cuba.

There is NOTHING he can do that will not at least be tolerated in the liberal media.

This man is their god.

Apparently, the press does submit a list of the people and their questions, as well as where that person will be sitting (Bambi’s too dumb even to know who he’s calling on without it). I was stunned when I read this. Can you imagine if Bush had tried to get away with that?

“Why....?

Because he’s nothing more than a snake oil salesman who has not one original idea that he can vocalize. He can only read the lines like some actors.

I just want to see one reporter ask him why, in the face of mounting legal inquiries about his citizenship, he doesn't just produce the vault copy of his birth certificate and put an end to this. I know it won't happen because we don't have real journalists but it's fun to think about.

Amazingly, the left-wing radicals supported 0bama even after he flip-flopped during the election on his major campaign promises of no Telecom Immunity and using only public money for his campaign.

Sycophancy at that level is only seen for cults of personality.
