    just came across this today, no matter who you voted for, if you don't think this guy is awesome, I have major problems with you..

    he makes fun of teleprompter, his wife, Joe "badass" Biden, Steele, and many others.. Aboslutely hilarious..

    Yes someone else probably wrote it

    but he delivered them well

    I enjoyed it, obviously you could see Obama was a little uneasy of laughing when Sykes made some "harsh" comments about Limbaugh :D

    Bush generally was well received when he did this as well. Does that make him automatically "awesome"?

    I thought Obama was very funny and had good comedic timing. However, I didn't like the Cheney "Shoot your friends and interrogate people" joke. I don't think torture is something we should be yukking it up about.

    Actually Bush was a pretty funny guy. I'd say he was more of a natural comedian than Obama is.

    Wanda Sykes was really good, although I think for a while there she forgot that she was at the White House and not the Improv.

    Remember when Bush was looking under his desk and joking around about not finding weapons of mass destruction while American solders were dying?

    Good times

    Remember when you could take a joke?

    Me neither.

    Newsflash: Soldiers will die under this administration, as well.

    you don't think joking about WMD was crossing the line?

    This type of insight was sorely missed in the D&D -- welcome back FFB.

    The bar has been raised.

    Somehow, my sarcasm radar is going off here.........

    Props to Obama so far though. Again, I am cautiously optimistic, but he is beginning to seem like a populist, and that has been needed.

    Ergo, we should joke about it.

    Astute observation, fatty. Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.

    I saw highlights of this, Wanda Sykes was over the top which was pointed out by the liberal olbermann.
