Obama is quite the comedian
May 11, 2009 at 6:57 pm by Scott Henry in NewsIs there any question who is the coolest president since JKF? Obama’s comedy routine at the White House Correspondents Dinner was not only funny but surprisingly hip and delivered with excellent timing from a guy who really seemed to be enjoying himself — and not in the frat-boy way that Bush epitomized.
The funniest lines of the night were reserved for Republican National Committee Token, er, Chairman Michael Steele, from about 4:25 into the YouTube video:
Michael Steele is in the house tonight. Or as he would say, “in the heezy.” Wassup? Where is Michael? Michael, for the last time, the Republican Party does not qualify for a bailout. Rush Limbaugh does not count as a troubled asset, I’m sorry.
Obama also took aim at VIce:
Dick Cheney was supposed to be here but he is very busy working on his memoirs, tentatively titled, “How to Shoot Friends and Interrogate People.”
Finally, more racial humor, this time poking fun at House Minority Leader John Boehner’s otherworldly tan:
In the next hundred days, our bipartisan outreach will be so successful that even John Boehner will consider becoming a Democrat. After all, we have a lot in common. He is a person of color — although not a color that appears in the natural world.
