Relax People, It's Just a Joke

For 8 years, comedians all over the country from SNL to late night, have made a living making fun of former President George W. Bush. That's what comedians do with a President, when you are in the public eye like that - you're fair game.

The following is Will Ferrell making a living as George W. Bush. Even though I voted for Bush, I thought he (Ferrell) was pretty damn funny, and especially toward the end of Bush's presidency, even had some valid points. Check it out here - one of many examples.

Bill Maher made George Bush a nightly topic of conversation. He was a little more virulent than Ferrell in his opposition of Bush, but hey, he's entitled to his opinion. For some of his best thoughts on Bush - check it out here.

But now that liberals have their "annointed one" sitting in the Oval office, all bets are off. Comedians, like everyone else, should just put on their party overalls and tow the line, after all, their commentary on President Obama could be - GASP- damaging to the President. Give me a break people, it's only a joke, right? Here's what SNL had to say about Obama's time in the White House thus far, personally, like Ferrell, I thought it was pretty damn funny. (Or would be if it weren't so true and so sad.) Here is thier skit, check it out.

Liberals have been foaming at the mouth over the skit. Just a couple of days again, CNN went on a rampage about how this could be "damaging the President." " The honeymoon is over..." they say, and they are concerned. You know what? They should be....

If you look at most of the spoofs that Ferrell does on Bush, you will see that Bush was personally ridiculed. His policies about the war were ridiculed, but when you look at the spoof of Obama, you see something deeper. A discontent, even among those that are on his side, with what he has and has not accomplished while in office. They were talking about his policies, not his personality and that should be very disconcerting to the DNC for their hopes of re-electing this President. After all, isn't that what it's all about? Maintaining your party in power? Why do people actually think it's about accomplishing something and doing what's right for the country? Neither party actually does that....

If you truly want to help your country and make a difference, change your party affilitation TODAY to independent. As long as the party thinks they have you in their pocket, nothing will change, and that just means that the joke is on us.
