I'm reminded of an old joke...
... please forgive me if you've heard it before, but it illustrates the way Obama gets coverage in the MSM.


Obama sees a child drowning in the middle of a lake. Without batting an eye, Obama WALKS across the water to the drowning child. He then walks back across the water with the child, and gives the rescued child back to the grateful mother.

The MSM headlines the next day: "Obama can't swim"

1. Funny
But unfortunately, you are likely correct. Of course, "the media is awfully liberal". My achin' ass.

3. LOL We been saying that one for sometime.
"If Obama walked on water they'd say it's because "*******s can't swim."

4. Actually, I first heard the joke about 15 years ago...
... although it was with Bill Clinton and (of course) not Obama.

5. I heard the same joke about Bush.
Maybe that is why it is not funny anymore. Thanks for trying though.

6. Think of it as recycling
that perhaps makes this political humor a bit more green!:hi:
