• Plenty of funny things about this guy! By Barack Obama

  There has been a lot of talk recently about how no one can seem to find a joke (or at least a tasteful one … New Yorker, I’m looking at you) to make about Mr. Democratic Nominee. How can that be true? I have plenty to eccentricities to play off. I’m not some polished figure that’s simply smart, responsible and a symbol of much needed change. So, I’ve done you all a favor and compiled a list of ways to make fun of me if the occasion arises. No need to continue to laugh at how old Mr. McCain looks, acts and administers government. In no particular order:1. I’m pretty tall, not that tall… but taller than most people. I’m also skinny, in good shape really, but skinny in the eyes of most Americans.2. I didn’t go to Yale, Harvard or Prince... Read more - 2 weeks ago

• I never thought New Yorker cartoons were funny By Barack Obama

  You know, it's one thing to be the victim of a cruel media attack by some conservative wing-nut publication, but now I have to look out for--The New Yorker? What a great idea, David Remnick. Put me and Michelle on the cover dressed as Muslim terrorists! What--you didn't like the mock-up of us killing baby seals?I had never seen The New Yorker until I arrived at Harvard for freshman orientation. This guy "Ian" who lived down the hall from me--very artsy, wore a Japanese bandanna--walks into my room reading a copy. He's laughing his ass off and says "Look at this."It's a sketch of two people sitting on bean bag chairs in an apartment, talking to their guests. "We're not rich, but we're comfortable." A real knee-slapper.<!--break-->I hand i... Read more - 2 weeks ago

• You'd vote for McCain because of his pets? By Barack Obama

  You know, sometimes I just can't catch a break. Except from the news media and the people who've given $300 million to my campaign.A new AP-Yahoo poll shows me trailing John McCain by 5 points among the 63% of you idiots who own pets. In other words, I could lose the election because of people who spend their weekends buying hamster wheels at Pet World.You want to get the influence of money out of politics? Then how 'bout stopping former prisoners of war from buying up every dumb animal in creation? McCain's got two dogs, two turtles, a cat, a ferret, three parakeets, a rhinocerous and a partridge in a pear tree. It just isn't fair. I work hard in school, go on to Harvard Law and now folks are gonna choose between me and a guy who gets the senior citizen ... Read more - 3 weeks ago

• I know what delicious treat James Dobson won't be getting come Christmas By Barack Obama

  Okay, the gloves are off now. (Unless you're a food service worker or a proctologist.)Religious fundamentalist James Dobson, a cat's paw of a lap dog for John McCain, has said I have a "fruitcake interpretation of the Constitution." Me--a former professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago!Not that "University of Chicago" and "fruitcake" don't normally go together quite well--sort of like an academic peanut butter and jelly.No, what frosts my ass is that Dobson couldn't get into one of my Con Law classes with a crow bar. The guy'd be lucky to be accepted at the Oral Roberts School of Law and Chiropractic. And what's more, he knows nothing about fruitcake. So here's my "fruitcake" interpretation of the U.S. Constitution, just for ... Read more - 5 weeks ago

• Do not believe internet rumors except for what's on my new website By Barack Obama

  I launched a site today to debunk myths that have been flying around. Because the best place to debunk internet rumors is a website. And the type of people who believe these myths are tech savvy enough to know about the existence of websites other than AOL.I'm not entirely pleased with the domain name: Fight the Smears. It sounds like an ovarian cancer prevention site or a place to post pictures of queers that have been smeared.Still, the information presented is important, and it's presented in a format that the kid who had to repeat first grade can understand. We print the lie, then in much bigger, prettier letters say the truth. But on this website of undeniable authenticity, I'll elaborate on some of these rumors:LIE: Rush Limbaugh says a tape exists of Michelle Obama using the word &l... Read more - 6 weeks ago
