Political humor: Barack Obama

Barack Obama smokes cigarettes and admits that he's snorted, bought, and sold cocaine. Is this guy for real? Everyone, including the left wing media, knows that cigarette smoking is extremely bad for your health, and yet he continues to smoke cigarettes. If this were George W. Bush who smoked cigarettes, the press would be all over him. How will he explain this to his daughters? Will he smoke in the White House? Will he smoke in the Lincoln bedroom? Maybe he's just trying to spread the wealth, adding tax dollars to the tax base. No, wait a minute, we're the ones picking up the tab for his habit. Does anyone really believe that he pulls a ten dollar bill out of his pocket to send someone down to the local stationary store to buy his smokes? As bad as his example is, and his lack of character is, we're the ones who will pay the freight. The joke's on us........ again.

It's very unfortunate that the left leaning media continues to give Barack Obama a pass on not only his pointless policies, but also on his personal choices. It's almost as bad as watching Nancy Pelosi make any kind of public statement. I believe that Obama's intention is to move this country more towards European socialism, a losing proposition, and a backward step. Why not light up? What's to lose? Will he eventually choose a dog to live in the White House?

The reasoning arises that possibly Obama is under severe stress because he has to support his mother-in law. I could excuse that as a reason for inhaling tobacco. Here he is, thinking that as president, he's getting away from his in-laws, and Michelle insists that her mother moves in with them. Guess who's picking up the tab for supporting Obama's mother-in -law? That's right, you and me.

Maybe Obama is still taking advice from Blagojevich, his former boss. He may actually feel that he can do whatever he wants to do, and nobody will say a thing. It's quite possible, I mean, he is a left wing ultra-liberal democrat who doesn't have a pulse on the real world as it exists in this country. Obama is a guy who got a free education, never really had to attend classes, and admits to buying, using, and selling cocaine while we picked up the tab for his Ivy league education. The joke's on us. We elected him.

So where's the humor, you might ask? Well, I guess there is none, unless you live in a different country where they hate Americans. In that case, the whole situation is very funny.
