Obama really shines at these things. He has a great sense of humor and impeccable timing.
Of course, somebody else writes his speeches.

Affordable health care -- at whose expense?

You have to admit, Obama actually has a great sense of humor and timing. Loved the line about "This is my last, and, probably THE LAST, dinner !" He might have had help writing those lines, but he had to deliver them, and he did great.

He is one man I would love to sit down with and share a cold brew.

I wish Obama was this sharp running the country because that is his main job.
The only thing Obama is good at is reading speeches written by other people off of a teleprompter.

And he's not even very good at that. His pauses are too long (complete with little frowns), and he goes on forever and ever and ever and ever and ever.

Yeah, the joke's been on us for the last 7 years.

How do you know?

And why can't he come up with his own jokes?

His delivery is all him, too, and he has great comedic timing according to people in the business.
Well that settles it. He deserves to be President.

Wrong.

It was the Democrats who destroyed the economy.

Clinton's HUD Secretary Andrew Cuomo ordered Fannie and Freddy to buy $2.4 trillion in sub-prime loans over a ten year period starting in 1999.

Clinton also signed off on the repeal of the Glass Steagle Act, which had restrained banks from speculation.

And Clinton's NAFTA sent millions of good jobs overseas.

Obama was pretty funny, Larry Wilmore? Not so much. What was with that Cruz / Zodiac Killer thing going on for like ten jokes? He should have cut it down to once or twice.

I also thought Wimore was very disrespectful to Obama, and the office iof the presidency in general. This isn't the comedy central roast, you shouldn't use such derrogatory language, I don't care what race you or the president is, HE'S THE PRESIDENT!!!!

Then again, I'm a white Conservative male, so Larry Wilmore probably couldn't care less what I think...
Wilmore last comment was speaking to the many people not there and not represented much in America beyond a few Dems.... Black youth. It was not disrespectful to the President, it was typically misunderstood by politicians and haters.

So... Obama has joke writers give him stuff to say and that's supposed to impress people? His joke about Bernie and the million dollars was weak. Had he said " Hillary you look like a million bucks, or in a term you'd be familiar with, you look like two speeches at Goldman Sachs", THAT would have been far funnier.

There is nothing at all funny about him, he is the scum of the earth, so no, I didn't watch it and wouldn't even consider doing so.

Did anyone insinuate bigotry as a motive when you criticized Bush? (or more recently Trump)
