That is asking for miracles - intellectual honesty from the Left. They excel at hypocrisy and double standards.

Apparently the brothers Jonas are none too pleased.

Liberal progressive here. This joke was mildly offensive, maybe worthy of a forum post but certainly not a news article. If he told this joke around friends who were liberal progressives they would probably ask why we are not out of the middle east yet, and that's why it's not funny. It not funny because drones are killing people for oil. He should have said "you'll end up stuffed in an oil drum and tossed in the gulf," or "the Secret Service will escort you to the interrogation room underneath the White House."

PS: The president calling the Jonas Brothers pedophiles is hilarious. That's what I took away from this The only thing better would have been a whole show devoted to roasting the Jonas Brothers, everyone taking their turn.

The joke is Obama even remotely considering to open his mouth about any topic related to our national defense, because he was studying Socialism while others were serving.

This unfunny joke was written by some bum who probably went to college with Barry and used to take smoke breaks with him at the quad at Harvard, bitching about how awful Americans are.

God Bless every man and woman in uniform serving our country under this twit.

Sheesh, why dont you just come out and admit it: You prefer Fascism.

Americans are awful to much of the world, and there is a reason for that: Innocent men, women and children dying from Predator drone attacks.

You dont hear that much about it on FOX News, do ya? Better get back to waving your flag, its almost time for Hannity

He didn't call the Jonas Brothers pedophiles and I think you know that. Most people with young daughters who have mad crushes on boy bands members saw the humor in that joke. I'll bet all the Republicans with their false outrage over this joke thought it was really funny when McCain sang his 'bomb, bomb, bomb' song---and he wasn't joking---or did they forget that bombs kill, too? http://www.thewashingtonnote.com/archives/2010/04/keith_olbermann/

The predator drone comment is awkward but the Jonas Brothers joke is no big deal. I saw it as a dad joke. Didn't they surprise the girls with a visit around the inauguration?

Bush had more class than to make a comment like that. B.O. doesn't have enough sense to know what not to say. You'd think he would after running his mouth at every opportunity but once again, he proves how inept and worthless he is at his job.

Barry don't go away mad, just go away. As soon as you can.

I thought it was funny but then I really like politically incorrect humor.

Something you have to be mighty careful with in this progressive day and age.
