No sense of humor, or simply a little too dignified?

Maybe the Obamessiah is a man of sorrows like the prophet Isaiah talked about.

Isa 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were [our] faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Well, Obamessiah may not be these things, but we esteemed him anyway.

He needs to find ways around Obama’s stage presence, and one way to do that is with humor, especially self-deprecating humor.

So what are you saying? That “stand up comedian” has to be part of the resume for the 21st century politician? I blame the voters who are looking for entertainment in the political process instead of substance. McCain, Clinton, and Obama are all awful choices but they are the last men standing primarily because they have the entertainment value that the real candidates could never muster.

Bob Dole learned too late to be his sweet lovable self during the campaign. The big Mac is going to crush B. Hussein’s butt. He’s gonna kick his Dukakis all over the place.

I haven’t seen Barack Obama make these kinds of appearances as yet. No sense of humor, or simply a little too dignified?

No, just an arrogant jerk.

Liberals have no sense of humor, so when they try, it’s so obviously fake and stilted that they can’t sell it

Did you check out the 1/2 Hour news Hour on Fox?? What a bomb…

It’s hit or miss on both sides of the aisle.

One example is Chris Rock saying Pro-abortion rallies are a great place to pick up chicks because you know they put out.

Disgusting AND funny.

John McCain did another appearance on Saturday Night Live and was hilarious. Enjoy the videos of his May 18th and 2006 performances on SNL.

I like the fact that John McCain is funny and can laugh at himself. I think one of the …

Yeah, it’s about a perfect summer evening drink. Thanks for sharing it.

You’re missing the second half, which can be found over at Hulu.com.

OK, how many here remember Nixon’s “sock it to me?”?

Not until you mentioned it.

My collie says:

Forcing someone to remember something that they’ve tried so hard to forget should be a crime or somethin’.

Less government, not more. On the other hand, it might be a sin.

Nice warm weather refreshment, eh? Tastes so innocent and wholesome too!

So Liberals,the age issue,nothing to see here,move it
along,there are much more important issues than McCain’s
age,like Liberal appeasement,and Rubins callous and
attempted smear on McCain!

Hey surrounded, your drink mix was pretty darn good. Just to get back to ya:)

Now THAT would have been funny.

Violations are punishable by criminal fines and imprisonment for up to six months. Repeat offenses can bring up to two years in prison. Additional civil fines may be imposed at the discretion of immigration judges, but civil fines do not negate the criminal sanctions or nature of the offense.

What other choice do we have? And don’t tell me Ron Paul or some libertarian candidate. DD

Clinton Obama and McCain have appeared on all the late night shows.
Not surprisingly, they all suck. Bad delivery, bad lines, bad everything.
How sad.

If Hillary and Obama couldn’t even entertain Dave, you know they aren’t funny.

1/2 Hour News Hour wasn’t original, it was supposed to be “the Conservative version of the Daily Show” and it tried way too hard. Lame.
