Our President is a riot! He's actually funny!
OK so the jokes were written for him but he's got a great sense of timing and the right mix of self-effacing humor and in-your-face attack.

Just another thing to like about post-Bush America.

2. When he called out Michael Steel with a "Whassup?"...
I soiled my keyboard. The Malia and Sacha taking AF1 for a joyride was good too.

5. Oh, I don't know.
Squirting lapel flowers, hand buzzers, whoopee cushions on Jake Tapper's chair at a press conference, perhaps a seltzer bottle while he is answering questions from the press. I think it could work. ;-)

3. I like the way he does his routine
Some good lines there and delivered very dryly. Some good belly laughs from me, :o)

6. A lot better than the Pretzeldunce
As in just about everything else, President Obama is a lot better at humor than the Pretzeldunce ever was or could ever hope to be. Like just about everything else in life, Pretzeldunce's attempts at humor was a LIAF CIPE.

7. dumbo was a mugging, simpering chimp, who telegraphed every "laugh,"
smirking like a prideful sixth grader who memorized his zinger line in the school talent show

I remember when it used to be amusing to make fun of monkeyboy, but he's ruined things so extensively, that it's no fun anymore

Obama's winning presence (the dem Reagan?), his seemingly authentic, ingratiating smile go a long way to make us forget, momentarily the shitrain with which he's been left to deal

not expecting too many more days of laughter

9. I was also thinking about Bush's appearances at WHCD.. Painful
but the pain for me was watching him mock his treasonous behavior. I think you described his delivery perfectly. Of course I'm sure seeing Obama tonight was painful for the 26%ers.

8. Aside from that whole sanity thing and not being a criminal,
his sense of humor is my favorite part. :)
