Obama Makes Joke About Confirmation Process ... No One Laughs

"Back in the 80's, Richard was also a five-time Jeopardy champion and a semi-finalist in the Tournament of Champions. Not too shabby," President Obama said as he announced the nomination of Richard Cordray to run the consumer bureau on Monday. "That's why all his confirmation -- all the answers at his confirmation hearings will be in a form of a question," Obama said to silence. "That's a joke," he reminded the audience.

obama does very little at which one can laugh, even though he is the biggest joke to ever walk through the White House doors...

If you have to “explain” it is a joke............guess what it is not funny.

“That’s a joke” was actually on his teleprompter.

The notion that B-HO is qualified to do anything (other than scratch himself) is the real joke. He is the poster boy for stupid, lazy, and worthless people everywhere.

I hate to admit it, but that's a pretty fair joke. At least if you've watched enough Jeopardy.
I hope this means that people are just so sick of Obama that even if he finally comes up with something clever*, no one acknowledges it.
This is a step in the right direction!
*So far he only scores this one point

Obama started a joke. Which started the whole world crying.
But I didn't see that the joke was on us.
Oh, no, I started to cry. Which started the whole world voting.
Oh, if the voters had only seen that the joke was on them.
I looked at the television. Running my hands over my eyes.
And I fell out of bed. Hurting my heads from things that Obama said.

This guy, however, is just insufferable ... obviously, even his sycophants are getting bored with him.

Agreed - it reads as an excellent joke.
His delivery must have sucked ass.

I, too, thought the joke was okay and deserved a few chuckles from the dopes in the press pool. That they DID NOT LAUGH is telling.
I’ve been waiting for mass defection away from the Boy Blunder as his poll #’s dropped and the MSM start realizing they will soon be exposed.
Not the best analogy, but remember Michael Jackson? He was the most beloved entertainer in the country (world!) then a mere 5 years later a joke and pariah. I can see this happening to Barry, especially if the Fast and Furious crap sticks to him and there are hearings. The MSM will HAVE to cover it and it will give them a chance to turn on him.
Well, one can hope and pray!
