And tonight’s grand prize for proof that the right has no sense of humor goes to Weirddave! Take a bow.
This might be a joke thread, but if you’re going to assert that seriously I’m going to ask for a cite.
Q: How many Obamas does it take to cross the Road?
A: One, Hopefully.
Barack Obama, a priest, a rabbi, two sheep, and a penguin walk into a bar.
The bartender says, “What is this, some kind of joke?”
Barack Obama says, “No, it isn’t. Why do you ask?”
No, I get it. Barack is so straight-laced it is impossible to make a joke about him. This is odd, yes?

I just went to the site! The man has an Official Action Figure! It is Official! Official satire!
It is going to be a long eight years.
Unless they’re jokes about Stiffley Stifferson taking a pratfall or a pie in the face, which is itself an ancient and venerable genre.
Well we ought to be able to re-use Al Gore (and older jokes).
What is the difference between BO and a fireplace poker?
Both are still, but he poker displays occasional warmth. (From Gladstone or Disraeli?)
Actually, that 2000 SNL triptych of skits about what would happen if Gore, Bush, or Nader became POTUS remains relevant this year, only without any equivalent of Nader.
If this thread is any indication, the whole SD should take a bow. These jokes suck. Can’t anybody tell any funny ones? Get with it, Dopers. There was a time when funny didn’t mean sucking your favorite candidates dick, but meant *something funny. *
Funnily enough, I’ve seen a conservative leaning blogger claim that OBAMA is the one that’s humorless.
True, but I have yet to hear McCain tell a good joke. And many lame ones, or worse. "Bomb bomb bomb Iran . . . " Worse than lame, and not even original; I heard that exact same song on the radio during the late-'70s hostage crisis. It was just barely funny then.
Got this in an e mail the other day:
A teacher in Elmira , New York , who is an Obama supporter, asked her 4th grade class,‘How many of you are Obama fans?’
Not really knowing what an Obama fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids
raised their hands, except for Little Johnny.
The teacher asked Little Johnny why he has decided to be different?
Little Johnny said, ‘Because I’m not an Obama fan.’ The teacher asked, ‘Why aren’t
you an Obama fan?’
Johnny said, ‘Because I’m a Republican.’
The teacher asked him why he’s a Republican. Little Johnny answered, ‘Well, my Mom’s a
Republican and my Dad’s a Republican, so I’m a Republican.’
Annoyed by this answer, the teacher asked, ‘If your mom was a moron and your dad was an idiot, what would that make you?’
With a big smile, Little Johnny replied,
That would make me an Obama fan.
The seven dwarfs always left to go work in the mine early
each morning. As
always, Snow White stayed home doing her domestic chores.
As lunchtime
approached, she would prepare their lunch and carry it to
the mine.
One day as she arrived at the mine with the lunch, she saw
that there had
been a terrible cave-in. Tearfully, and fearing the worst,
Snow White began
calling out, hoping against hope that the dwarfs had
somehow survived.
'Hello!...Hello!' she shouted. 'Can anyone hear
me? Hello!'
For a long while, there was no answer. Losing hope, Snow
White again
shouted, 'Hello! Is anyone down there?'
Just as she was about to give up all hope, she heard a
faint voice from deep
within the mine, singing . . ...
'Vote for Barack Obama! - Vote for Barack Obama!'
Snow White fell to her knees, crossed herself and prayed,
'Oh, thank you, God! At least Dopey is still aliveJOHN STEWART: The only e-mail your grandmother will ever successfully open!
Which candidate does the pirate favor?

I think you’re missing the point, sweetie.
OK, except for the name changes these are older than McCain, but at least they’re jokes. But they’re not jokes about Obama. They’re fill in the blank jokes about the politician on the other side. You could have switched Obama and McCain’s names all the way through and the joke would be exactly the same. Somehow I don’t think that captures the spirit of the question.
It’s not hard. He said he’d favor raise taxes on the wealthy “for fairness”. Not to raise money for any particular program, but to make things fairer. That’s classic Marxist redistribution of wealth. He wants to nationalize 15% of the U.S. economy(UHC). That’s a Marxist plan through and through. I said he has Marxist leaning and, well, he does. You can deny it until you’re blue in the face, but you’d be silly to do so. It’s not a demonization of Obama, it’s what he himself has said. You wouldn’t be “demonizating” McCain if you said he favors continuing the war in Iraq, that’s his policy.
What’s the problem with Barack Obama jokes?
His followers don’t think they’re funny and other people don’t think they’re jokes.
So? You don’t have to be a Marxist, nor any kind of socialist, to support those things. FDR was no socialist. Neither is Hillary Clinton, whose UHC plan was considerably more comprehensive and statist than Obama’s.
Obama is no more “red all over” than you are.
Would that he were!
This is about as close to a joke as the Obama supporters will permit.

How many Barack Obamas does it take to change a light bulb?
Nobody knows. As soon as he hears the word “change” he starts talking and won’t shut up.
