    Obama's actually kind of funny

    Some of his jokes and gaffes from a CNN article:

    "I would like to talk about what my administration plans to achieve in the next 100 days," Obama said. "During the second 100 days, we will design, build and open a library dedicated to my first 100 days."
    He added later, "I believe that my next 100 days will be so successful, I will be able to complete them in 72 days -- and on the 73rd day I will rest."

    The Democratic president poked fun at the Republican Party, saying it "does not qualify for a bailout" and conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh "doesn't count as a troubled asset."

    Obama touched on a few gaffes during his short time in office, from Vice President Joe Biden's verbose tendencies to an unfortunate Air Force One photo op that frightened New Yorkers -- playfully pointing his finger at his young daughters.
    "Sasha and Malia aren't here tonight because they're grounded," he said. "You can't just take Air Force One on a joyride to Manhattan -- I don't care whose kids you are."

    About his former rival turned SoS, Hillary Clinton:

    "We had been rivals during the campaign, but these days we could not be closer," the president said. "In fact, the second she got back from Mexico, she pulled me into a hug and gave me a big kiss -- told me to get down there myself."

    Obama even took on former Vice President Dick Cheney, who wasn't in attendance: "He is very busy working on his memoirs, tentatively titled, "How to Shoot Friends and Interrogate People."

    I thought the joke he'd made about his bowling skills was pretty funny too, hurt feelings of the Special Olympics be damned ;D

    Oh! You meant his jokes!

    Not quite what I was thinking when I read the title!
    A lack of planning on your part DOES NOT constitute an emergency on mine!

    Here are a couple more:

    "I will learn to go off the prompter, Joe Biden will learn to stay on the prompter."

    Obama called his first 100 days a "whirlwind of activity. We enacted a major economic recovery package, we passed a budget, we forged a new path in Iraq. And no president in history has ever named three commerce secretaries this quickly."

    Thumbs up Comedian on staff

    He must have a pretty good comedian on staff who writes this stuff for him. We all know he did not make any of this up. He sure delivers it well though.
