Sean Hannity and Mike Huckabee talk about his [Putin's] bare chest... which is kinda weird.

I'm sure the LGBT groups will simply love that.

Regarding the "lighter side," the jokes were terrible, but I doubt President Obama wrote them, so I'm not blaming him for the jokes. His delivery is dry, at best, though his willingness to include himself as a butt of a joke is honorable.

The President needs new speech writers, and should probably have hired a comedian if he wanted it to actually be funny.

Oh my, if people are that easily offended, then that chip on their shoulder must be very heavy to carry.

Proverb Zone > Theme > Laughter

A good laugh is the best medicine, whether you are sick or not.

A laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market.

A man isn't really poor if he can still laugh.

Any man who laughs at women's clothes has never paid the bill for them.

As a rule, the freedom of any people can be judged by the volume of their laughter.

Blessed is the man who can laugh at himself, for he will never cease to be amused.

But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
-- Carl Sagan

They can be, and it can be.

Still, the jokes were terrible and the delivery was, dry, as expected (the jokes weren't the President's fault, and his delivery is his delivery, so that wasn't expected).

The "Between the Ferns" with Zach Whatshisname was hilarious and well done by the President.

Yes that was very funny, so when they pulled out the two ferns in this speech, I liked it. But you would have to see that one to understand the joke.......oh well I love dry humor.

Between Two Ferns just highlights Obama's cowardice and intellectual dishonesty. Instead of giving actual inteviews, he is more frequently seen on comedy and sports shows. In fact, didn't Jay Carney say that his toughest interview to date was on a comedy show? That's pretty weak, even for Barack Inane Obama.

Since 2010 he's been on 22 comedy and sports television shows and only been interviewed on television "news" 12 times if you include shows like The View. I suppose that since he's a President whose disasterous policies would actually be funny if they weren't real, then it's no surprise that his toughest interview was from a liberal comedian on the Comedy Channel.

Mostly all of it, so its hard to differentiate.

How many people watch the comedy shows compared to news? (there is a hint in there).

Perhaps you can give us from first hand experience, the total time he has spent in state of the union speeches, your having been glued to the television throughout.

There is nothing requiring specifics, since the attack was imbecilic generalization at the outset of premises, with the foregone conclusion of cretinism.

As usual you have no clue what the hell Im talking about. John Stewart and Nickelodeon awards ceremonies are NOT interviews with network reporters dumbass... Nor are his interviews with magazines or promotional appearances for his books. I gave a very specific example for a reason. Im only refering to actual televised interviews on big network news shows as compared to his sports show and Comedy Central puff pieces.

Seriously, were you dropped too many times as a child?
