Jay Leno jokes target President Obama's problems

By: Patrick Gavin May 23, 2013 09:27 AM EDT

On the late night talk show circuit lately, President Barack Obama has been on the receiving end of a barrage of jokes from “The Tonight Show” host Jay Leno, who has spent the past week opening his nightly monologue with a series of jokes at the White House’s expense.

May 16:

In reaction to news of a prostitution ring being run out of a retirement home. “Boy, that Obamacare is amazing! It just provides everything!”

On a new IRS commissioner: “They’re called ‘acting commissioner’ because you have to act like the scandal doesn’t involve the White House.”

On comparisons to Nixon: “At least he’s not being compared to President Carter.”

On the Miami Heat beating Obama’s beloved Chicago Bulls: “You now what that means? LeBron James is going to get audited by the IRS.”

May 17:

“It’s casual Friday, which means that at the White House, they’re casually going through everybody’s phone calls and records.”

On Obama’s dismissal of the IRS Commissioner: “Apparently he was fired for acting like Richard Nixon’s IRS Comissioner.”

“Love him or hate him, you have to admit that President Obama is a new kind of Democrat. He’s embroiled in three scandals and not one of them involves sex!”

“This morning he called Mitt Romney and said, ‘Look, if you still want the job…’”

“Fox News has changed its slogan from ‘Fair and Balanced’ to ‘See, I told you so!’”

********

I love this one. It’s hilarious. I also like the one where he said Obama needs to hold pressers so he can find out what’s going on.

At least he can afford what he deserves.

Leno spent four years avoiding humor at Hussein’s expense.... too little, too late, Jay.

Better late than never. I’m sharing his comments on Facebook.
This is the source of a lot of news for people and he’s the only late night guy who’s telling the truth.

Leno is paying back the flamboyant fag president of NBC entertainment who ordered him to stop making Obama jokes.

I have a public relations theory about late night television. I think the evilest of the evil public relations consultants have figured out that spouting political “humor” as people are lying in their beds in twilight sleep is a great way to get correct thinking into the mass subconscious. And why wouldn’t Burson-Marsteller put sock puppets like Conan, Letterman and Fallon on the payroll? Why wouldn’t they? On the other hand, Leno has announced he’s bailing. He’s free. And maybe down underneath, he’s a good guy. Meanwhile, Conan, Letterman and Fallon are still doing Michele Bachmann jokes on the nightly basis. Conservative = uncool, conservative = uncool. You are getting sleepy. Conservative = uncool. Just a thought. It’s really not that far-fetched.

Keen wit. Could have used it a long time ago. He’s part of the reason these things have happened.

While I was in college I worked as a lowly $4.00 an hour computer coder for a research project, which meant that I read all of the responses and prepared them for the computer. The research project concerned old people in nursing homes and whether they still thought about sex. I am reading the responses and I read where this old man, when asked about if he ever thought about sex anymore, said "The nurses around here take care of that for me." Supposedly, for services rendered the recipient would fork over $25 from his social security. The head nurse of the nursing home had hired prostitutes to "service" the old men.

We were hand-tied as to doing anything about it because of some confidentiality form our bosses had signed, but I will tell you that that was the very first inkling I got the liberals are rotten to the core.

When Comcast purchased NBC. They’ve been at contract odds since.

Yep, only took ‘em 4.5 years and until after the last election. The comedians have had a hands off policy on joking about obama from day 1........disgusting.

I know of a senior apartment complex where a meth ring is operating. In our city, police just laugh at reports of meth use and/or sales. Only if the stuff is being made will they even bother to investigate.

I agree with the theory that he was “censored” by his bosses at NBC. when you know where your bread is buttered, you don’t want to close the dairy (or the bakery). Now that he’s leaving, he can say whatever he wants, and is doing just that. What are they going to do, fire him?

And anyway, a car guy can’t be all bad......

I doubt the Hussein-friendly networks are paying any taxes.

That has to be the best payroll around these days.

That sounds like an SNL skit, "Seniors Breaking Bad"

Seriously, would the ATF look into it for ya if your police will not?

He was trying to keep his job. Now that he's a lame-duck talk show host, he can let loose on the lame-duck in Washington.
