Is Obama Becoming a Joke?

Most presidents become a joke at some point. It's a matter of when and how. Both points should concern this president. In Winston Churchill's words, "a joke is a very serious thing." Or it can be, when the joke is about a very serious thing.

"Saturday Night Live" has long been a comedic benchmark. Last weekend, SNL took its first hard hit at President Obama. Fred Armisen, who plays the president, gave an Oval Office address: "When you look at my record it's very clear what I've done so far and that is nothing. Nada. Almost one year and nothing to show for it."

Political satire matters when it is larger than the joke. The growing rap on Obama is that he is a man both ineffective and meek; a man who is loved by all and feared by none.

Bill Maher hit the punch line first in mid-June: "You don't have to be on television every minute of every day. You're the president, not a rerun of 'Law & Order'... TV stars are too worried about being popular and too concerned about being renewed."

Soon Maher came to his key point: "You're skinny and in a hurry and in love with a nice lady, but so is Lindsay Lohan. And just like Lindsay, we see your name in the paper a lot but we're kind of wondering when you're actually going to do something."

The only thing I found funny about the skit was the punchline about the dog. Obama hasn't accomplished a lot of what he campaigned on, (Thank GOD!) but, look what he has managed to accomplish by just threatening to enact these things. Our economy has ground to a halt and distrust of the government is at an all time high.

“When you look at my record it’s very clear what I’ve done so far and that is nothing. Nada. Almost one year and nothing to show for it.”

So what are we bitchin’ about if he hasn’t done anything?

While it is so sad that America has a Marxist puppet with no background, other then being a Chicago thug, and maybe an illegal immigrant, it is sadder that 50 % seem to think he is just peachy... That is so frightening.

““When you look at my record it’s very clear what I’ve done so far and that is nothing. Nada. Almost one year and nothing to show for it.”

Considering what an ignorant, misguided and extreme Leftist he is, this is, on balance, probably a good thing.”

Lanny Davis angrily accuses someone else of being partisan???

He's a jackass.

The tide is turning, he’s being exposed to even the most naive
followers for what he is......A smiling jack ass.

Google “Obama dithering” and see all the hits you get - looks like he even prefers artwork that ‘dithers’.

Funny when the National Barack Channel fires one across the Presidential bow.

Is this a warning from his handlers? Surely they know how to manipulate him via his malignant narcissism...

[my small voice]

It's so comforting to know our cic will be able to handle a 3 AM phone call with that as his art. < /sarc>

I know, the < /sacr> tag was not needed.

Phone rings at 0300.

Voice on the other end: “Uh mr present, your shipment of wagu beef is on the way”.

Speaking of the 3 a.m. phone call...the Friends reported that during yesterday's Afghanistan meeting, Mrs. C. took the side of Joe Biden. Could she be planning her graceful exit???
