Wanda Sykes Sums Up The Administration

In the midst of her racially based jokes and tasteless jabs at Rush Limbaugh, at the White House Correspondence Dinner Wanda Sykes actually made a perfect analogy for the administration.

While attempting to poke fun at Dick Cheney for wanting to show the information we received through the enhanced interrogation techniques, Ms Sykes said that was like robbing a bank and saying "But look at the bills I paid." But isn't that exactly what the current administration is doing? Whenever they are questioned or criticized for the amount of money they are spending and the debt they are creating they respond with "but look at the great stuff we're doing." Very similar to justifying paying your bills with stolen money. The only difference is that instead of robbing a bank (they're taking those over instead) they're robbing the American people. And all to say "but look what I did with the money I stole from you."

The problem is that Ms Sykes, and too many others at the dinner, didn't see the reality in her joke. And what is happening is not funny. If the spending spree and the robbing of the American people continue, we may end up following Iceland's lead and be forced to declare the country bankrupt.

Obama Compares Himself to God

At the White House Correspondence Dinner President Obama, while cracking jokes, compared himself to God. Unfortunately this is a comparison that, to him, isn't really a joke.

Patting himself on the back for what he accomplished in his first hundred days, he said he would do so much better in the next hundred that he would complete it in 72 days. And on the 73rd day he'd rest. Like God on the 7th day. So is Obama saying he is God? I think he believes that he is all powerful and all seeing. After all, he believes that he is the only one with the answer to the World's problems. Sounds like a God complex to me.

At a correspondence dinner packed with as many Hollywood celebrities as reporters, Obama thanked them all for voting for him, apologizing only to the Fox News table. So now we see why the President stated that we are not a Christian country. This is because he believes we worship him, or at least because he believes we should.

What I found the most entertaining though, was the joke that he would learn to go off the teleprompter. This was entertaining because he was reading the joke off of the teleprompter.

So what's next? Will he condemn so evil "hedge funds" who forced Chrysler into bankruptcy to wander the desert for the next 40 years?
