(CNSNews.com) - Actor and comedian Marlon Wayans said it is tough to make jokes about President Barack Obama because hes actually trying to do something good but added that they had a field day with Bush and the Sarah Palin jokes are hilarious. Film Director Judd Apatow said he agreed with Wayans.
At the recent Creative Coalitions Art and Soul gala, CNSNews.com asked Wayans, As an actor and a comedian, what do you think about the comedy shows and the jokes that have been made about President Obama? Do you think theyve been fair? Are they too easy on him?
Wayans said, Honestly, I havent seen any hilarity yet. I think hes a tough one because hes actually trying to do something good. Like, they had a field day with Bush -- Bush jokes all day. But I havent seen a really good one [about Obama].
Now, the Sarah Palin jokes are hilarious, said Wayans. I think Tina Fay doing all that on Saturday Night Live is hilarious. She does a better Sarah Palin than Sarah Palin does. So, I mean, Barack, hes a tough one. Hes a tough cookie to crack, if you will. Hes hard.

That was a hilarious skit!
depends on you point of view
I could easily make plenty of jokes about 0bama and pelosi. he’ll, the Hillary jokes almost write themselves
what do you think about the comedy shows and the jokes that have been made about President Obama?
What? When? Huh?
It’s because we are all so busy keeping our tires inflated while we visit all 57 states of this muslim nation waiting for our premiums to go down $3000 percent. We hope to pass through that town in Kansas where 10,000 people died.
“My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world.
I hope you’ll join with me as we try to change it.”

Tough to crack?
The comedy is endless...
“Actor and comedian Marlon Wayans said it is tough to make jokes about President Barack Obama because hes actually trying to do something good but added that they had a field day with Bush and the Sarah Palin jokes are hilarious. Film Director Judd Apatow said he agreed with Wayans. “
What he means is that it’s hard to makes jokes about Obama because he has more pigmentation in his skin than the Bush or Palin. That’s what it all boils down to and to deny it is stupid.
I’m sad that so many black celebrities have lost their ever loving mind in wishing that Obama was better than he is and instead make me not care to give them a dime of my money ever again.
I don’t support racists, no matter what color they are.
Hey Marlon did you hear the one about the Harvard educated lawyer that did not know how many states there are in the US ?
Obviously, as an actor, he's not interested in stretching himself.
If a movie has a Wayans in it, it is destined to suck.
I'd say that's an accurate summation of the MSM's editorial policy, too. Obama is committed to expanding the welfare state, the holiest of their sacred cows, so they feel very uncomfortable reporting anything negative about him.
And thus beware the wailing and gnashing of teeth, oh, and the car burning, looting, and general civil unrest when Bobo is unceremoniously tossed out on his ass in 2012.
That pic is Dave Chappelle .
That's hilarious
You mean its hard for liberals and leftists to survive making jokes about Obama! There us a difference.
Its not at all hard to make jokes about Obama:
Quite pathetic, actually.
You know what’s really funny? A stupid black asshole with no career!
He’s right.
There’s NOTHING funny about Obama.
I’ve never heard a funny Hitler joke either.
