Definitely watch the parts with Obama and Wanda Sykes speaking. And don't have any young children in the room while Sykes is speaking... >:-(
I had her muted, Leni ... anyone else care to volunteer ?
UGH. Nasty and very little actual joking about the PreZ. I felt bad for Biden- it’s one thing when they make fun of Repubs, but he and Wanda made more jokes about Biden which seemed very tacky and too easy.
Oh, so NOW he covers his heart? Nice...
______________________________________—
And only a half-assed job at that. With a smirk on his face.
Just about everything Sykes said about Obama and Michelle were glowing and positive, as far as I can remember.
The point of this dinner is for the current president and the invited comedian to poke lighthearted fun at the currrent president and his administration. Of course these leftists just could not resist trashing the previous administration, Sarah Palin and current conservative talk show hosts... anyone who is a threat to them. Childish and low-class as usual.
Sykes' vile was directed at Pres. G. W. Bush, VP Cheney, Sarah Palin's daughter, Republicans in general, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.
Wanda Sykes stated emphatically tonight: "I hope Rush Limbaugh's kidneys fail."
feel so bad for Todd, having to sit there and hear that disgusting piece of garbage Wanda Sykes trash his family. Wanda, you are worse then scum!! Did you also hear what she said about Rush Limbaugh, saying that she hopes his kidneys fail..oh real funny idiot, hoping a human being dies..my cousin has kidney issues, I don’t think wishing death upon someone should be made into a joke. Maybe Wanda needs to visit a dialysis center to see what PAIN looks like...and Obama just sat there and probably laughed his ass off..I wouldn’t be surprised..disgusting, I miss Bush, now HE had CLASS
Someone on Conservatives4palin said how in some politico article, how Obama was laughing his ass off during the Palin “Jokes” and laughed even harder when he heard that disgusting comment about wanting Rush’s kidneys to fail..thanks America, for electing the biggest piece of crap President EVER
When she first referenced Rush and Oxycontin or whatever, the audeience seemed a bit uncomfortable...
bttt
Like Wanda gives a damn..she got her messiah to laugh his ass off
Barack Obama is a low-class street hustler. That’s how he got where he is today. He is amoral, narcissistic, power-hungry and just plain evil.
How could he laugh at that foulmouthed lesbian? If they wanted a FUNNY foulmouthed lesbian, they could have gotten Whoopi Goldberg.
Am so glad you pinged me...
Can’t wait to spread the news.
They are baiting the right wing extremists on the dhs hitlist. I have to bite my tongue-—for fear of not using “proper english”. The jerkoffs.

just caught some b-roll cut away footage of it where I work....when she was slightly jabbing Obie he took a sip of his water and quietly said into his glass “Leave me aloneeee”
UNBELIEVABLE..UNFREAKINBELIEVABLE...did anyone else catch this from the main feeds on the major networks...????
WOW
Unreal. Nothing about these lowlifes can shock us now.
And they’re in OUR White House !
I’d like to see a replay of that ... I muted her
after her initial filth.
See my post #224
That’s why I was kind of relieved he was there and not her, really. Not that I’m not praying for those folks with the flooding issues - Palin’s got her priorities in order,and it’s great for Todd to step in for these things, too.
Wanda was probably upset she wasn’t there to hear the abuse in person...
That is how he held his head during the entire dinner. Condescending is not a strong enough word.
Her wishing Rush’s kidneys would fail...does she realize what this means?
I lost my husband 5 years ago because his kidneys failed. There was no kidney disease in his family and his kidneys began to fail, which meant he was immediately on dialysis. We were waiting for a kidney and after 2 years on dialysis, he passed away. What a heart break this was for me to hear? Its like saying ‘she hopes Rush or anyone gets cancer’ or anything of that nature. I believe all those folks in America who are living on dialysis feel terribly hurt. Dialysis is one hard thing to go through.
I just wanted to share this with you because the kidney remark hit too close to home and made me hurt all over.
