Barack Obama gives less comic material than his predecessor George W. Bush used to, complains well-known American comedienne Katie Halper.
“It was really a curse but also a blessing to have Bush in power for eight years because of the gift he kept on giving in terms of material. Not a day went by where you didn’t have something that Bush did or said that you could make fun of,” Halper told RT.

Don't be so hard on the Bushes. Give them their day in court. Junior may get off on an insanity plea. Bush Senior is another matter. He sort of knew what he was doing , although it was borderline insanity. Anyway, just let the justice system work and sort all of this out. Right now the world has a lot more important things to deal with than a couple of has beens. One thing we all know for sure. neither of the bushes are going to go in the army and fight in the wars they created.
It is surprising to see than a decent people like most americans are could have elected in the recent past "nullities" like Reagan, Bush (father and son), Nixon, Clinton and Kennedy. In France, we have the same problem: not a single decent politician as Head of State since the President De Gaulle. Pretending to be a democracy and being one is not the same matter. Our medias and politicins have done a tremendous worldwide brainwashing job. That is the sad realities. We have a serious problem for selecting decent decisions'makers. Considering the increasing numbers of profiters and police protectors that nullities like Sarkozy have, it will get worse before it gets better (american say) Sorry Future Generations.

it's easy to laugh when you have a President who maintained less than 6.2% unemployment, and a healthy economy, versus this charlatan we have now. the tears of laughter are now of sorrow. USSA, new world order is just around the bend. and you're completely wrong about cannon fodder this President is a calamity. go google gary varvel and look at his cartoons. i think you'll find them painting/depicting the proper idiocy of obama
