Not the first time he's told a "joke"
Posted: Feb 13, 2013
At last night's SOTU:
President Obama: “I know you want those job-creating projects, I’ve seen you all at ribbon-cuttings.”
Groans. Well, HE thought it was funny. ;
That WAS kind of sad to watch/hear - -

Ah, well. Like everything he does, he gets a pass from his adoring party members.
To quote a poster from a previous thread - re. satire

"Good satire is supposed to be clever and funny and thought provoking. You're supposed to laugh while at the same time have a bad taste in your mouth and think deeper into the situation being satirized."
Well, he certainly leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Obama fail.
Well no wonder you didn't get it... - Fairminded

First Time Ever (long-time Voter) Had This ProblemFeb 16, 2016Every one of them has serious flaws, either of character, personality, world view, experience, or philosophy - and in most cases more than one of these - that I simply cannot stomach.
In my experience, it's always a choice between the lesser of two evils, but this election cycle seems to have brought out a spectacularly miserable collection of candidates. And yes, Sanders and Trump supporters, I mean them too - or perhaps especially them too.
It looks like I'll be sitting on my ...

Jeb- Told You He Was Going To Be Fun!May 15, 2015and he stands a very good chance of being the Republican candidate!
In Tempe, the Republican presidential hopeful told an audience that he wants to “repeal Obamacare” and replace it with some kind of “consumer-driven” system – a popular phrase among GOP politicians, which no doubt polled well in focus groups. Bush then explained his vision for his new Apple Watch fits into his health care vision:

If Someone Would Have Told Me...Sep 09, 2015How one administration could do so much damage in the world in such a short span of time, I would not have believed it.

Mother Natures April Fool's JokeApr 01, 2011I guess it is not a joke as I sit here looking out my window. My area of Maine is expected to get 8-14 inches of snow with wind gusts between 35-50 mph today. It is a wet and heavy snow so it is sticking to everything and does look nice, but not on April 1st. It will not last long and will melt quickly, but it does not give you the spring fever you should be feeling this time of year. I want to hear the birds chirping and see the trees budding - does not look too pro ...

Doomsday Sequester Prediction (Joke On Harry)May 08, 2014Despite doomsday warnings from the White House and lawmakers on both sides that hundreds of thousands would lose their jobs as a result of the sequester, it turns out the budget cuts have only led to one job being lost among 23 federal agencies.
Now Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., is demanding answers as to why the Obama administration repeatedly warned taxpayers that the $85.3 billion in spending cuts, which went into effect in March 2013, would threaten hundreds of thousands of jobs. The findings w ...
