I know the Repubs on here will be stone-faced and twist. But, this is downright hilarious!

 

[VanillaGorilla]

He has balls of steel

 

[Denny Crane]

I laugh at a lot of things he says. Like "pass this spending bill and the economy will do better."

 

[jlprk]

That's the censored 12-minute version. Here's the 23-minute version with all the dirty words he said.

Denny's a real crack-up, y'all. The man loves to laugh.

I think Gingrich's latest wife is slowly transforming into a featherless crow.

(In before the Rome is burning comment)

 

[VanillaGorilla]

I seriously cannot comprehend how anyone who understands the jokes could think they weren't funny.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

So is it Obama that is funny? Or his writers?

 

[ABM]

So is it Obama that is funny? Or his writers?

The remark about Michelle taking the $100mil was pretty funny.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Both, even if he didn't write a word of it. He has pretty good comedic delivery.

Do comedians write their stuff or do they have writers?

 

[ABM]

Do comedians write their stuff or do they have writers?

This is the first time I can honestly say Obama is a wise guy.

 

[MickZagger]

This is the first time I can honestly say Obama is a wise guy.

Then you're really stubborn in your thought process.

 

[ABM]

Then you're really stubborn in your thought process.

I kid, I kid. Simply adding to the levity of the moment.

I have been laughing and crying nonstop for over four years now.

 

[jlprk]

You'd only be crying if McCain had banana republiced the economy with upper class tax cuts while fighting wars in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria, as is his want.

 

[MickZagger]

I have been laughing and crying nonstop for over four years now.

Jimmy Valvano says you should laugh and cry at least once a day. It keeps you sane.

I'm as wealthy as I've ever been and its under Obama's watch. I can't be more thankful.

 

[The Dude]

He will be a great public/motivational speaker once his term is up.

Have to admit he had some funny moments in there. But, you know what I think would be funny? If he would actually stand up in front of the press corps and answer questions like the presidents before him did.

Go Blazers

Which Presidents were those?

Ike is the last President that I remember directly and honestly answering questions from the press.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Do comedians write their stuff or do they have writers?

Some do, some don't.

Most well-known comedians are inherently funny and got to where they are after spending years mastering their craft and writing their own stuff.

Apples and oranges.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I don't discredit his delivery in speeches, whether serious or light - he usually does a good job with that.

But I'd like to see him deliver elsewhere, not just in his speeches. He spends too much time being a celeb and trying to make people like him.

Don't act like you don't know.

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman."

"I did not inhale."

A lot of good comedians are left-wing, that has little to do with his competency.

Some of them wrote the words in his teleprompter.

 

[MickZagger]

Most comedians aren't President of the United States... Oh wait.

 

[MickZagger]

Lol typical righty responses

 

[blazerboy30]

I laughed.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

[MARIS61]

Fiddling while America burns.

Notice that NBC gives Jay Leno the boot, so Obama makes a joke about NBC, then Obama does a Leno shtick?

Coincidence? Leno's job pays 100 times Obama's. Then we can return to what we do best, starting wars and giving giant tax breaks to the rich.
