Everybody knows Obama is already the post-assassination JFK. It is not allowed to mock him, tease him, or caricature Obama; only veneration will do.

Is it wrong that I taught my 6 year old the word Baracky? Does it make me a bad person that I did not stop her from naming her sock-monkey Baracky?
Comment by TheGeezer on 7/15 @ 12:36 pm #
Absolutely not. Baracky is perfectly apropos for an object of imaginary affection.

JD, what did that poor helpless sock monkey do to deserve that?
Comment by Hadlowe on 7/15 @ 12:40 pm #
Mister Snitch in the comments at Althouse’s blog hit the nail on the head with the proper response for a charismatic politician and someone who thinks quickly on their feet, and it really should be the very very obvious response. My impression is that he thinks he’s beyond the need for humility and self-depracation, that he’s bought the hype about being the progressiah. If this is how he treats jokes that could be interpreted as being at his expense without actually being at his expense, then heaven help him when the wags let loose, because he’ll be able to hear every joke.
Cause his ears are big…
So he hears better…
Racists!

Some 527 should make a spot with two Obmas* sitting on stools in a bar under a neon Miller Light sign. Have them battle eachother over Less Filling! Tastes great!
Then, I dunno, a giant bus crashes through the bar an runs over everybody.
*if CGI is too expensive, one of the Obamas could be played by JD’s 6 year old’s’s sockpuppet.
Comment by JD on 7/15 @ 12:50 pm #
I am going to make my own 527. Better Half thinks we should make a commerical showing what Iraq will look like when Baracky surrenders, by using footage from VietNam and Cambodia. I think we should make a commerical with a bunch of heartlanders throwing bacon at Baracky, and watching his use his Dumbo ears to fly away.

Comment by alppuccino on 7/15 @ 12:57 pm #
Good idea JB,
I thought a good commercial would be to run the footage of Barack yelling “That is a debate I’m happy to have, anywhere, anytime!” (Applause)
– cut to John McCain standing at a podium under a sign that says “Town Hall Meeting” and looking at his watch.
End title: Obama is a pussy.
we’re even now JD.
Comment by Education Guy on 7/15 @ 1:06 pm #
JD – Just don’t use that scene when Dumbo is hanging out with the crows, because that would be racist, if you know what I mean. And if you do know what I mean, you are a racist.
Racist.

The Kama Sutra has less positions and only two people get screwed.

I didn’t really understand what Jesse Jackson said about wanting to cut off Obama’s nuts. How did he plan to get ahold of Michelle’s purse?

Hahaha. Ball snatching.
Comment by Barak O'Pasha on 7/15 @ 1:45 pm #
Humor? I used to admire humor.
I shouldn’t admire it now. I should find it absurdly personal. Don’t you agree? Feelings, insights, affections, humor,… it’s suddenly trivial now. You don’t agree; you’re wrong. The personal life is dead in the Democrat party. History has killed it.

Rangel is either a pathetic schnook without the brains to be as slimily crooked as his fellow congresscritters, or he’s a lot smarter than he looks and has megabucks tucked away somewhere in the Caribbean.
50-50. Pick ‘em.
Comment by Dan Collins on 7/15 @ 1:58 pm #
Actually, the better response to Treacher’s joke is probably “sour grapes.”
Comment by bergerbilder on 7/15 @ 2:04 pm #
Obama and a few friends were having a beer in a bar. They got to bragging about their families.
The Methodist guy says, “I got 4 boys. One more boy, and I got a basketball team.
The Baptist says, “I got 8 boys. One more boy, and I got a baseball team.”
The Catholic says “I got 10 boys. one more boy, and I got a football team.”
Finally Obama speaks up. “Keep trying guys. I got 17 top campaign advisors. One more top advisor, and I got a golf course!”

No more trouble
In my Country or my mind
Goin’ to live like a king
On whatever I find
Eat all the fruit
And throw away the rind
Yeah, Baracky, yeah.
No, not funny, but you’re not supposed to laugh at muslims or try to make them laugh, or something. Maybe if he grew a little goatee….

backhanded Obama humor (stolen from another thread)
Little known fact:
When George Washington was a boy, he got a new hatchet and was eager to try it out. He went to the prized cherry tree and began whacking. (the tree that is)
When his father discovered the cherry tree’s absence, he asked George, “George, what happened to the prized cherry tree?†To which George replied, “Father, I cannot tell a lie. I chopped down the cherry tree.†To which his father replied, “Then you shall have 10 lashes boy.†To which George replied, “Perhaps I was inartful in my truth-telling. What I meant to say was that my friend Benedict told me that it was not a cherry tree and it would be a good tree to practice with my new ax. So I chopped it down thinking it was not the prized cherry tree. So in effect, I did not chop down the cherry tree. I’m reshuffling my friends at this time.â€Â

One day Barack Obama was walking down the Yellow Brick Road and he came upon the Tinman. The Tinman asks “Can I have some oil please, I am stuck and can not move?” Obama replies, “Sorry, but oil makes us all sick.” He then continues on his way.
After a couple blocks Obama comes upon another traveler, the Cowardly Lion. The Cowardly Lion asks, “Do you know where I can find some courage?” Obama replies, “Courage is useless, only a strong consensus and aggressive diplomacy will win the day.” He then leaves the Lion trembling in the road and continues on his way.
After a couple more blocks of walking on the Yellow Brick Road Obama is surprised to find the Scarecrow standing in the middle of the road lost. “Why are you lost?” asks Obama. “I do not have a brain and can not decide which way to go today,” says the Scarecrow.
“Well I can help you there,” says Obama. “Here take the number of David Axlerod and give him a call. Ask him every day which direction to take on the Yellow Brick road, left or right, and he will advise you” Obama then walks away and continues on down the road.
Obama continues down the road some more, and after a couple minutes of walking meets another traveler, Dorothy. “Hi,” says Dorothy.
“Wow you are racist as fuck,” Obama replies, then hauls off and punches her in the face.
Comment by Mr. Pink on 7/15 @ 5:24 pm #
I couldn’t really figure out a way to rap it up with the Dorothy/Hillary comparison so if anyone wants to help me there go ahead. I guess the Wizard of Oz could be Soros maybe, but I did not feel like writing for 10 minutes.
