Obama makes a big joke

Can anybody say Narcissus? lol.

"President Obama showed his skills as a comedian at the White House Correspondents' Association annual dinner, focusing mainly on Donald Trump. He made fun of the birth certificate controversy, and ribbed Trump about his presidential ambitions. (April 30)"

YouTube - Obama Jokes About Birth Certificate Controversy

Talk about shooting his own left foot.

I thought he was funny and humble about all of it. maybe you're projecting?! Donald Trump on the other hand literally is a narcissist, lol.

Trump is too much. Yes, he is a narcissist.

Politics aside, I thought that was cute.

Seth Myers was really funny.

Yes, you did. It is "makes", not "is", and the joke is the birthers, I think.

"......and the joke is the birthers, I think."

If they are, then I can hardly wait to hear the punchline in 2012.....

Hopefully they will have found something new to whine about, but honestly, it is entirely possible that the might not even notice. Certainly if Obama wins a second term they'll wax even more hysterical.

I don't see what this has to do with Orthodox Christianity...

haha, gotta love when politicians let their guard down and show some humor.

Alright. How about this,

call to prayer

"Therefore, I encourage that first of all, petitions, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made for all: 2for kings and all in high places, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and piety. 3Indeed, this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior 4who desires all people to be saved and to come to the full knowledge of the truth."

1 Timothy 2 EOB (Eastern Orthodox Bible)

St Paul is Christian, and this quote came from the Eastern Orthodox Bible, AND it has to do with Obama.


So now it is officially an Orthodox Christian thread...

...Just because its not Orthodox Christian specifically, doesn't mean that it doesn't effect our Orthodox Christian lives.

Tornadoes, other Christian denominations, and news events can effect all of us.

I can be as critical as the next man of the current administration, but I still found this to be pretty funny.

Let me me clear. I find a lot of humor in the whole Trump/birther/Obama/tea party thing and the press roast. It is not that this stuff isn't funny on some level (though offensive to me on others).

But I also think that gzt has a fair point. This thread has nothing to do with Orthodoxy. If we were discussing administration policy from an Orthodox perspective or if this were a prayer thread for President Obama or the future of our country, that would relate. Look at what St. Paul is saying the quote above and look at what has been said in this thread. Does it match?

M.

Well, Obama did not joke about the death of Bin Laden at US hands.

Lord have mercy.

Well, at least the speech writer has humor...

But yea, this doesn't really belong here!

??? Since when ahve off-topic threads been disallowed or discouraged? I suppose we usually put an "OT" in front of the subject title. Will that make everyone happy? lol

I thought it was funny. Thanks for posting it Soul Food.

I don't like Obama one bit, but I have to say that was pretty funny.
