July 15th, 2009 - a day that shall live in comedic infamy. The Obama administration’s first direct hit from reliably friendly allies. Former Saturday Night Live star, now stand up comic Dana Carvey was the guest on the new Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. When O’Brien asked Carvey his opinion of Obama, Carvey trotted out some fresh material. “I’m worried. The economy just had a heart attack, but Barack just wants to work on the knee,” Carvey riffed. ”Should we do CPR? No, we’re gonna fix this knee. We can do CPR when it’s efficient and cost effective, but right now we’re going to work on the meniscus. “Carvey concluded the bit suggesting George W. Bush would have used an economic “crash cart.” “Tax cuts for everybody - CLEAR!” The audience roared. Were they laughing at Carvey’s “dumb guy” Bush impression, or was it the excitement of more money in their pockets as an economic remedy? No matter the audience response.

We all knew it had to come and were wishing for it to come soon. Comedians now feel that, even timidly, they can and should mock the Messiah! Now comes the sudden severe drop for this clown and his thugs in the House and Senate, now they can begin to envision a 2011 without a monopoly. Now they will begin crying and whining.

I think the funniest thing about Obama is that he has no sense of humor.

If Obammie the Commie continues on his course, he’ll lose America with or without Jon Liebowitz.

Eff the unfunny jackass Jon Liebowitz. He makes/breaks no one.

"academia"

You've mentioned a great truth. Most of the people in Obama's cabinet are, like him, academians (?) who have little grasp of practical matters. I've been hearing that same socialist nonsense since the sixties from the hallowed halls of scademia. Now they have a prez who is just as naive as they are.
