Wanda Sykes is a comedian, so I’ll excuse her crassness and vulgarity... It’s her job.
Obama on the other hand is a fool for laughing.

Only a ghoulish mind can laugh at Sykes' depraved joke.

Why liberals are not funny. Wishing people dead. What passes for humor on the left is juvenile sophomoric nastiness.

great suggestion.

I’ll bet El Rushbo will see your post and do it.

And if he does, I hope you will take a very public bow on FR.

"Rush Limbaugh, I hope the country fails, I hope his kidneys fail, how about that? He needs a good waterboarding, that's what he needs."

That's satire. It's not hate.

"I don't think Ms Sykes is one bit funny."

That's racist bigotry and hatred. Go directly to jail.

"Joking about 9/11 is hardly tasteful. The families of those killed deserve a full apology from the correspondence dinner and the President."

If the MSM was anything other than the DNC/liberal marketing department, they would excoriate the White House over this and an apology would be forthcoming by the close of business Monday. But they are the the liberal establishment's marketing department, and as such this story won't "have legs".

President Barack Obama thinking when he laughed and smiled as the comedienne wished Rush Limbaugh dead?

Pure evil lies beneath that slick pasted-on smile and the teleprompter totally fake eloquence.

Hard to take from the man who promised a new era of civility and elevated debate in Washington.

Obama has taken the Clinton methodology to a whole new level. Appear to be "above the fray," not getting involved in the name calling. But hiring the most malevolent and hateful smear merchants on the market to do your dirty work.

More like "Imagine the Secret Service knocking DOWN your door".

...and tossing in a flash/bang, getting their muddy boots all over the Berber, shooting the dog, y'know, a verbal warning.

Pathological Narcissism is a dangerous mental illness and the Kenyan is definitely suffering from it. He also has the worst type: Grandiose or Malignant: an exaggerated sense of self-importance, feels privileged, exploits others, and lusts after power. Pathological narcissism is a life-long pattern of traits and behaviors. It is an infatuation and obsession with one's self and the egotistic and ruthless pursuit of one's gratification, dominance and ambition.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a pattern of self-centered or egotistical behavior that shows up in thinking and behavior in a lot of different situations and activities. People with NPD won't (or can't) change their behavior even when it causes problems at work or when other people complain about the way they act, or when their behavior causes a lot of emotional distress to others (or themselves? none of my narcissists ever admit to being distressed by their own behavior -- they always blame other people for any problems).

This pattern of self-centered or egotistical behavior is not caused by current drug or alcohol use, head injury, acute psychotic episodes, or any other illness, but has been going on steadily at least since adolescence or early adulthood.

Whatever they may be doing, in their own view, they are the star, and they give the impression that they are bearing heroic responsibility for their family or department or company, that they have to take care of everything because their spouses or co-workers are undependable, uncooperative, or otherwise unfit. They ignore or denigrate the abilities and contributions of others and complain that they receive no help at all; they may inspire your sympathy or admiration for their stoicism in the face of hardship or unstinting self-sacrifice for the good of (undeserving) others.

But this everyday grandiosity is an aspect of narcissism that you may never catch on to unless you visit the narcissist's home or workplace and see for yourself that others are involved and are pulling their share of the load and, more often than not, are also pulling the narcissist's share as well.

Narcissists cultivate solipsistic or "autistic" fantasies, which is to say that they live in their own little worlds (and react with affront when reality dares to intrude).

They want praise, compliments, deference, and expressions of envy all the time, and they want to be told that everything they do is better than what others can do.

Sincerity is not an issue here; all that matter are frequency and volume. Narcissists use other people to get what they want without caring about the cost to the other people.

They are unwilling to recognize or sympathize with other people's feelings and needs. They "tune out" when other people want to talk about their own problems.

They show arrogant, haughty, patronizing, or contemptuous behaviors or attitudes.

SOUND FAMILIAR??? This isn't a joking matter, it's a very serious, dangerous mental illness and to have someone like this ruling the country with an iron fist, dangerous, dangerous, dangerous. I want to see his past medical records that he won't release. Guarantee you he has been on lots of meds.

He also demands to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements. Narcissists are obsessed with fantasies of unlimited success, fame, fearsome power or omnipotence, unequalled brilliance.

He requires excessive admiration, adulation, attention and affirmation - or, failing that, wishes to be feared and to be notorious. The narcissist feels entitled. He demands automatic and full compliance with his unreasonable expectations for special and favorable priority treatment. A a result, he is often "interpersonally exploitative", i.e., uses others to achieve his or her own ends.

Narcissists lack empathy. They are unable or unwilling to identify with, acknowledge, or accept the feelings, needs, preferences, priorities, and choices of others. The narcissist is arrogant and haughty. He feels superior, omnipotent, omniscient, invincible, immune, "above the law", and omnipresent (magical thinking). Rages when frustrated, contradicted, or confronted by people he considers inferior to him and unworthy.

"... He needs a good waterboarding, that's what he needs."

What for? He has already told the truth.

So far, I have not seen anything remotely funny about the dOpey-One's administration. They scare me sh*tless.

I think wishing something that is potentally deadly on anyone is wrong but wishing something that strikes blacks three times more than whites is pretty much asking for Karma to come back and bite you! I wouldn’t wish something like this on my worst enemy but they joke about stuff like this. Each day I become more and more convinced that liberalism is a mental illness!

This woman isn’t even talented enough to call herself a comedian. If this is indicative of her talent ,no wonder she can’t find work. Pathetic .Obama’s reaction is pretty much what you would expect from a poor excuse for a president/community organizer.
