Got humor ?

The releasing of the "shoe thrower" reminded me how much fun we had at the expense of President Bush. It seems like we had some humor about the President, even if we disagreed with his policies. Today there seems to be far less ability to make fun of a president we don't like, and more pure hatred. So today I post my favorite jokes at Obama's expense, hoping we can all lighten up a bit. Republicans may have the vile spewing of Hannity or Beck, but they could take a cue from Stewart, Colbert, or Maher.... You can reach your audience and send a message without spreading hatred and fear.


"How many watched the Obama speech on Tuesday night? If you didn't see it, I'll give you the short version. We're completely broke, and deeply in debt, but we're going to do a bank rescue, universal healthcare, give everybody a college education, have a bigger war in Afghanistan, cut the deficit in half, and cure cancer. We were this close to universal blow jobs." --Bill Maher
"Barack Obama spent his first day as president-elect putting together his transition team. And if you believe MSNBC, by tomorrow he will have chosen all 12 of his disciples." --Jay Leno


"Both McCain and Senator Barack Obama are trying to woo voters who are outside their natural demographic. In this election, for Senator Obama, that means trying to reach working class, non-Muslim white women who love America." --Jon Stewart


.
We all fell in love with Bushisms...these are the famous Obamaisms so far.


"No, no. I have been practicing...I bowled a 129. It's like -- it was like Special Olympics, or something." --making an off-hand joke during an appearance on "The Tonight Show", March 19, 2009 (Obama later called the head of the Special Olympics to apologize)


"I didn't want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about doing any séances." --after saying he had spoken with all the living presidents as he prepared to take office, Washington, D.C., Nov. 7, 2008 (Obama later called Nancy Reagan to apologize)


"What I was suggesting -- you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith..." --in an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, who jumped in to correct Obama by saying "your Christian faith," which Obama quickly clarified (Watch video clip)


"On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes -- and I see many of them in the audience here today -- our sense of patriotism is particularly strong."

I found a lot more...mostly centered on his race, nationality, religion, and birth certificate....they would be a lot funnier if I were racist, a "birther", or any other form of moron.





BUT IF YOU ARE CURIOUS
